Aluminum and Vinyl Mini Blinds

Mini blinds are durable and practical, making them suitable for almost any room. If you’re looking for traditional horizontal blinds that don’t require a lot of upkeep, mini blinds are a great choice. These blinds are available in a wide array of colors can be easily customized with a variety of options.

The Benefits of Mini Blinds

We have a whole blog dedicated to the many benefits of custom mini blinds. They’re easy to use, easy to clean, and easy on the wallet.

How They Work

Most mini blinds are operated using a wand and cordless lift. Some products can also be motorized for total remote control. The wand is used to tilt the slats all the way open, closed or anywhere in between. To adjust the stack of slats to fully open or close the blinds, simply raise or lower the bottom rail using your hands. It is important to check if all the slats are properly aligned before adjusting them to avoid possible damage. We also offer a large selection motorized mini blinds which can be controlled via remote for total control, anywhere in the house.

What To Consider When Selecting Your Mini Blinds

Slat Size

Designated sizes for mini blind slats are most often 1/2", 1", 1 3/8", 2", and 2 1/2". Blinds with 1/2" slats are referred to as micro mini blinds and are well suited for smaller windows. One inch is the most common size, and also the most versatile. Two-inch slats and above are best suited for very large windows. The purpose of different sizes is to maintain clean style and proper function. Too many horizontal lines on a large window may be dizzying, while not enough lines on a small window is not visually appealing. The bigger your window, the larger the slat size should be. It is also much easier to operate the blinds when they are appropriately sized.

Material

Mini blinds are available in a few different materials: aluminum mini blinds and vinyl mini blinds. These materials are durable and able to stand up to the strains and pressures of a busy, fully-occupied household. Aluminum mini blinds are lighter and more durable, but may crease or bend. PVC/Vinyl mini blinds are more flexible and easier to clean, but may crack over time.

Gauge

Gauge of aluminum blinds refers to the thickness of the metal slats. There are three levels of gauges including 6, 8, and 9, all of which are intended for particular styles of windows. Install eight- and nine-gauge aluminum blinds in rooms that get the most wear and tear. Six-gauge slats are the thinnest, and can be used in any room, but are best suited for rooms with less traffic.

Customizable Options

Lift

  • Cordless: Remove dangling cords for a cleaner look that’s safe around pets and small children. Raise and lower your blind using the bottom rail.
  • Motorized: Motorized products are naturally cordless and can be remotely controlled for hard-to-reach windows or as an added luxury.

Recreational Vehicles and Motorhomes

We have a selection of durable mini blinds that would be a perfect fit in your RV. These blinds are mamde to stay in place while driving to remove distractions using a tension lift system. These shades are available in a variety of neutral tones to match your interior.

Mini Blinds FAQ

Mini blinds are the most common style window treatment. They have classic horizontal slats, typically made out of PVC or vinyl, generally in smaller widths than standard wood/faux blinds. They’re a no-frills, economical choice that’s built to last.

The primary difference between blinds and mini blinds are the width of the individual slats. Mini blinds have thinner slats, hence the name. We offer mini blinds with ½-inch slats, 1-inch slats, 1 3/8-inch slats, and 2-inch slats. Typical wood and faux wood blind slats are 2-inches or larger.

Blindsgalore’s custom mini blinds have a starting price that’s generally under $50. They’re the most economical choice for new homeowners or renters, offering light and privacy control at an affordable price. As with all of our products, final cost will depend on individual size and included customizations.

Mini blinds are measured just like many of our other window treatments. The most important factor to consider is whether you’re mounting them inside our outside of the window frame. From there, you’ll only need a handful of measurements to ensure the perfect fit.

Specific mini blind measuring guides for both inside and outside mounts can be found here.
