There’s no reason to get strung out over the difference between ladders and cloth tapes on your blinds – it’s all very easy. The long thread that holds each slat together on your average blind is actually called the ladder. This ladder is punched through a routing hole on each slat and allow your blinds to rotate and lift in unison.
Cloth tapes are a decorative alternative which overlap the ladders and can help coordinate your window treatments with your interior. Tapes also serve a functional purpose in blocking out extra light by covering up the routed holes on the sides of each blind slat. Most cloth tapes are a solid color, but you can always jazz things up with a lively pattern to add some flair to your décor.
These styles are most commonly found on wood blinds and faux wood blinds.
We want you to love your view, ladder or tape or both.
