Ultimate™ Faux Wood Blinds
The Ultimate™ faux wood blinds offer unmatched performance and style. Traditional blinds don’t seem to stay shut and the slats seem to slide out. SmartPrivacy®’s design was engineered as the solution to these problems by properly securing the slats so that precise illumination can always be enjoyed. Traditional blinds typically place their route holes in the middle of each slat, which allows for light to leak through. SmartPrivacy® places route holes in the back of the slat, significantly reducing the potential for light leakage and ensuring more effective room darkening. The cordless lift system is “Best for Kids™” certified which means that there are no lift cords within the shade and your loved ones are protected from any potential hazards.
