Precision Light Control
Horizontal blinds excel at light control. The tilting slats give you infinite adjustment options:
- Slats Up – Direct light toward the ceiling; maintain privacy from above
- Slats Down – Direct light toward the floor; maintain privacy from below
- Slats Level – Maximum light and view-through
- Slats Closed – Complete privacy and significant light blocking
For maximum darkness, combine horizontal blinds with blackout drapery or consider room-darkening cellular shades for bedrooms and media rooms.
