Question:

What is the best type of blinds for privacy with a limited budget? I have 2 young children and 2 cats that destroy the cheap plastic blinds.

Answer:

Hi,

Depending on the room you wish to cover there are four types of blinds that can offer you privacy as well as being cost effective.

a) 2" aluminum blinds that are horizontal are a durable blind. You should look for an .008 or .009 gauge aluminum, this will give it a little more strentgh so that your kids will have a harder time damaging them.

b) 2" PVC blinds are another good choice these can be purchased with a lifetime warranty of manufacturers defects. Warrantied against fading warping peeling and cracking.

3) Vertical blinds made of PVC are another good choice the headrail or track is warrantied for life from manufacturers defects.

4) Vinyl roller shades with chain control is also a good choice for the mechanism is once again warrantied for life from any manufacturers defects.

These are all good solutions and can be purchased at very economic prices. One thing that you want to do is always buy quality so that you get these warranties. As well always ask the sales person: WHAT"S THE PROCESS IF SOMETHING DOES GOES WRONG? WHO'LL FIX THEM.
