Window Blind Benefits

An uncovered window can account for up to 40% of the energy loss in your home. Blackout blinds and window blinds can help combat that energy loss. Venetian blinds have been the most popular window treatment for hundreds of years because of the awesome benefits.

• Varied Light Control: Window blinds are constructed from rows of horizontal slats. These slats can rotate up to 180 degrees. This allows you to find the perfect angle to direct sunlight into your home. You can angle the slats to the ceiling to let in the refreshing morning sun, or you can turn the slats down to direct the afternoon sun to the floor and give your cat a nice place to nap.
• Privacy Options: The rotating slats of window blinds also allow you to vary your privacy levels. Open the blinds completely to have an unobstructed view in and out of your windows or close them completely to keep out prying eyes. By angling the slats up to the ceiling, you can admit the light while still giving yourself privacy.
• Easy Cleaning: Our selection of Venetian blinds is made of durable materials that can withstand the wear and tear of daily life. They are also designed to be easy to clean. Most of the time, all you need is to dust the slats with a dry duster. If you encounter harder to remove dirt, you can use a damp cloth or wood polish for wooden blinds.
• Customization: We carry blinds in various materials, including 100% hardwood, faux wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Dozens of available stains and colors allow you to express your style. We also offer options to create blackout blinds.
• A Perfect Fit: At The Shutter & Shade Source by Lanera, every one of our blinds is custom cut to fit our windows. Our team of professionals will measure your windows to make sure that the slats of the blinds fit snugly, and the window blinds are the perfect length when fully closed.
• Work in Layers: Venetian blinds are great for layering with other window treatments. Combine them with a roller shade for blackout blind options or add drapery or side panels for a more sophisticated look. Side panels can also help block any light bleed from the sides of your blinds when they are closed.

Operation Options

In addition to all the style customization options for our window blinds, we also have several different operating systems.

• Cord Lift & Tilt: This operating system is the tried-and-true standard option. The system has two pull cords, one to raise and lower the shade and one to tilt the vanes. The cords can either be continuous loops or a locking style pull cord.
• Cord Lift & Wand Tilt: If you’re worried about confusing which cord raises your window blind and which one moves the slats, you might consider this option instead. This operating system uses a continuous loop or locking cord to raise and lower the blind and a rotating wand to control the vanes. 
• Cordless Lift: This system can be paired with a cord tilt or a wand tilt. It allows you to open and close the blind by lifting it with your hand. We have several different cordless lift options to choose from. 
• Motorized: We suggest motorization if you want to take your window blinds to the next level. This allows you to control your blinds with the touch of a button. You can operate some of the systems via a smartphone app, which means you can open and close your blinds from anywhere. You can choose a system that has motorized lift, motorized tilt, or both.
