Multiple Blinds on a Shared Headrail
Because large blinds and shades can be heavier and more difficult to raise and lower, the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail option allows two or three smaller shades to share one common headrail and valance. This creates a cleaner, more streamlined look across wider windows.

A small 1/4" to 1/2" gap between adjacent shades is normal and required for proper operation.

Note: Motorized lift is not available with the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail configuration.
Cordless Lift
Raise and lower your blinds without cords. This upgrade is great for homes with children because there are no dangerous lift cords. Not recommended for sizes wider than 96 inches.

How fast is production for these Window Blinds?

Production is typically 6-8 Day(s) .



What are Metallic 1-Inch Aluminum Mini Blinds?


Metallic 1-inch aluminum mini blinds are window coverings made from durable aluminum slats with a sleek metallic finish, offering a modern, reflective look that complements contemporary décor while providing light and privacy control.


How do these blinds control light and privacy?


The adjustable 1-inch slats can be tilted open to allow daylight in, partially closed to diffuse light, or fully closed to reduce glare and enhance privacy in living spaces.


What does “integrated slat headrail” mean?


An integrated slat headrail means the slats and headrail are designed as a cohesive system to create a uniform, seamless look that matches the metallic finish of the blinds and provides stable support during operation.


Are these aluminum blinds suitable for all rooms?


Yes. These blinds are moisture-resistant and durable, making them a great choice throughout the home—including kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and living spaces.


Can metallic aluminum blinds help with temperature control?


While primarily designed for light and privacy management, the aluminum slats can reflect sunlight, helping reduce solar heat gain and keep interiors more comfortable.


How do I determine the correct size for inside-mount installation?


Measure the exact width and height of your window opening for inside-mount installation. Always double-check with the product’s measurement guide to ensure the blinds are made to fit the opening accurately.


What if I want the blinds to sit outside the window frame?


For outside-mount installation, measure the full width and height you want the blinds to cover, including overlap beyond the frame, to achieve the desired light control and visual presence.


Can these blinds be used on doors or sliding windows?


Yes. Metallic aluminum mini blinds can be installed on doors or larger window openings as long as the height and width fall within the product’s available size range and mounting depth requirements.


Are metallic finishes more durable than standard white aluminum?


The metallic finish is applied to the aluminum slats for a contemporary look, and like standard aluminum, it resists fading, rust, and corrosion, delivering long-lasting performance and style.


How should I clean metallic aluminum mini blinds?


Gently dust with a soft cloth or a feather duster. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, and dry thoroughly to maintain the metallic finish.


Are these blinds appropriate for modern interior design styles?


Yes. The sleek metallic finishes complement contemporary décor, minimalist interiors, and modern design themes while providing practical light and privacy control.


What warranty coverage is offered with Metallic 1-Inch Aluminum Mini Blinds?


These metallic aluminum mini blinds include a 3-year warranty, with an option to upgrade to a 5-year warranty at checkout.


Customer Questions & Answers



What is the guage of the aluminum slats?

Asked on Nov 30 2013 by Stan
The gauge of the Metallic 1" aluminum mini blinds is 6 gauge. We do have some mini blinds that are 8 gauge, but not in the metallic aluminum blinds.

What does the top of this blind look like?
Is it the typical look with one of the slats covering the mount?

Asked on Oct 5 2012 by Julie Rabe
The top of the blind is an integrated headrail. It offers a sleek, finished appearance without the need for a separate valance.

Can you see through the blinds with the color "Transparent Aluminum"? Are the blinds transparent?

Asked on Jul 5 2012 by Sara Martin
No the blinds are not transparent, the color transparent aluminum has a clear coat to give the blinds a natural aluminum or metal color. The transparent aluminum color gives the blinds a brushed aluminum look. We recommend ordering free samples so you can see the colors for yourself.

I love these blinds! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars on installation is that I have a 78 yr old house, and my window frames are heart pine (ie, hard as a Rock!). They were fairly easy to install. I’ve installed 8 other blinds from your company, so I knew they’d be fairly easily installed.
