Meet Kate our Resident Expert
She's been in window coverings for a very long time. She'll always tell you
what
she really thinks...
Motorized Tilt - I love motorized tilt for
controlling blinds in hard to reach windows over tubs, kitchen counters
and way up high, not to mention media rooms where everything must be
motorized! While I think motorized tilt on both YourBlinds and
Hunter Douglas brands are made with great quality and wear well (our
Customer Service folks have very few problems with either), call it
personal preference, but I like the YourBlinds motorized tilt at the
lower price point.
Cordless - I absolutely love the cordless option from Hunter
Douglas. Most people think of cordless primarily for child
safety - and it is great for that - but for those of you without
kiddos, I love that it eliminates dangling cords, leaving a
clean, uncluttered look whether my blinds are up or down.
Better yet, it really does lift with the touch of a finger no matter
the size of the blind!
Routless - I like all the brands equally for their routless option
that reduces glare on monitors and TV screens as well as enhancing
privacy. Hunter Douglas is the only one I have reservations
with for this feature. It has nothing to do with the quality
of the product. Rather, they lace the slats in place on both
the top and bottom so they stay in place. Most brands just
allow the slat to rest on the ladder without a string to hold each
slat in on the top. On narrower blinds, I have seen this cause
the spacing between slats to be uneven. If your blinds are
wider than 40"-45" you will be fine, but if narrower, just be aware
that this could be an issue that will need to be resolved to your
satisfaction.
