Cloth tape and string Ladders

Most people have no need to be familiar with the term string and or cloth tape ladder. This term has to do with the blinds integrity, what holds the whole item together and is responsible for the basic operation of the blind. Each blind wood or faux wood will have a number of vertical ladders. How many depends on the width of the blind. When ordering the most common string ladder (no cloth tape) the number really is not an issue because the string just sort of blinds in with the blind. When ordering cloth tape option the number of cloth tapes used can be an issue. Many folks give no thought and assume each blind will have two cloth tapes running vertical up and down the blind. Consider that it is possible the blind could have three cloth tapes and more. The reason is due to the number of tapes needed to hold the blind in place and make it functional. Again, most folks don't have issue with this, however some consider an odd number of cloth tapes odd looking because the tape is colored and noticeable. You can see how many string and or tape ladders your blind will have in the Factory specification segment of our website.

Just a consideration for any leaning toward cloth tape and even the more trendy string ladder. Please view all the information in factory specs. We can answer questions for you, but you have to ask them. Be aware, be informed, be happy.

Have a fun filled weekend, God Bless You.

Cloth Tapes

There seems to be a question in the mind of many about whether or not to orders blinds with cloth tape. Cloth tape is like so many choices a matter of personal taste. For many years tapes on blinds where the norm, some cloth some paper. As trends go tapes have seen a dramatic downfall in popularity over the years, however! Remember that you as the owner are the one who decides what you do and do not like. Your taste are your own and just like fine wine or art, you are the one to please not your neighbors. Cloth tapes are available in many colors choices, they are about 1 and 1 and 1/2 " wide and do sustain the blind so they cannot not be removed without effecting the integrity of the blind. As you give thought to styles and choices in the decorating process, please note some of today's decorators who are often stating that color matching has changed in current times. Gone are the days of similar shades for every situation. Today bold colors are accepted and often enlighten the one who looks at them daily. Different color tapes and even blinds for that matter are no longer frowned upon, as if it matters. Beauty is and always will truly be in the eye of the beholder. Pleasing yourself or impressing others, cloth tape is a classic and will always have a place for some customers.
