Looking for an Easy to Clean Window Treatment? Aluminum Blinds May Just do the Trick

If you are looking for a fashionable sleek modern window treatment, Hunter Douglas Modern Metals aluminum blinds would do the trick. The options are endless! The slat size ranges from ½" up to 2" giving you either an ultra private view or a wide view through. If light control is a factor for you, the de-Light™ feature is available in a few of the blinds. This feature blocks light and hides cord holes giving you better light control.


The smallest of the aluminum blinds sizes (½" and 1") has the widest selection of colors and finishes. These are the most economical blinds offered within Hunter Douglas aluminum blinds.

I was delightly surprised to see Hunter Douglas Natural Elements™ blinds. It is a combination of real wood valances and aluminum slats.

A few of the upgrades include the literise (cordless) option as well as the option for adding decorative tapes. Both enhance the blind greatly.

LiteRise Lift System Option

Simple Selections™ by Graber offers a 1" Aluminum Blind. These affordable blinds are pretty straight forward and do not have upgrade options. They are however easy to mount with their hidden brackets, have a sleek headrail design allowing for no valance, and both the headrail and bottomrail are color coordinated.  Turn around time is quite quick with only having to wait 10 days.
