History of Levolor Blinds

By Susan Slobac

Window covering designs have never been the same since the introduction of the 1" mini-blinds by Levolor ninety-six years ago in 1914. Levolor designed the first of what we know today as mini-blinds. Their infamous design of the 1" mini-blinds we all know has been setting industry standards since that day nearly 100 years ago. Levolor blinds are synonymous with quality, style, and innovative design in mini-blinds. Cellular shades and roman blinds are two window fashion designs dominated by Levolor as well. Levolor styles have always been cutting edge and, as a result, highly copied by other window treatment manufacturers throughout the world.

In 1993, the Levolor company was officially acquired by Newell Rubbermaid. Levolor is still headquartered in High Point, North Carolina while Newell Rubbermaid has its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Levolor window treatments are manufactured at facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, and Canada. Levolor has effectively established itself as the worldwide authority on window blinds and window shades; Levolor is the brand everyone knows and trusts.

A variety of national retailers and independent dealers proudly sell Levolor shades and blinds. Retail stores as well as independent online dealers carry the full line of Levolor mini blinds and other Levolor products on their websites. You can be completely assured that all Levolor partners such as those listed above sell genuine Levolor products. These stores are the best way to purchase Levolor window treatments.

Quality can't be copied and that is why Levolor is the best window treatment manufacturer in existence today. Still to this day, nearly a century after opening their doors and introducing the famous 1" mini-blinds, Levolor shades continue to be the world's most recognized and successful line of window covering brands. It's a fair guess that most people have owned Levolor mini-blinds at one time or another.

The Levolor line of blinds has recently grown to include a line of stylish drapery hardware and beautiful draperies, aluminum blinds, wood blinds, vertical blinds, cellular shades, woven textured shades, roman blinds, and other window treatment designs that always have the high quality and great design one would only expect from Levolor blinds. Undoubtedly, Levolor will keep the designs coming.

Almost 100 years later, Levolor is still at the top of their game doing what they do best, making mini-blinds and all the other innovative blind and shade designs they continue to revolutionize. Levolor is a name that is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon.

What Are Venetian Blinds?

By Penny Markham

Venetian blinds are composed of many horizontal slats of wood, metal or plastic. These slats are attached together with thin strips of cloth called tapes or by cords. Having them attached this way allows the blinds to be open and shut together. Additionally, they can move almost 180 degrees in rotation allowing sunlight in partially or not at all.

You can lift horizontal blinds up or lower them through the use of a pulley system on the side of the blinds. It's an ingenious way to change the mood of a room or leave you in darkness if you choose, such as when sleeping longer and avoiding morning sun in the room and also for security so that others cannot look into your home or space.

The first venetian blinds were patented by Mr. Edward Beran in 1769 but the French had already invented them long before Mr. Beran's patent. It has been said that the Venetians brought the idea to Venice from Persia. In French, the name for Venetian blinds is "persiennes". Here in the US, Philadelphia is one of the first cities to use blinds in buildings and churches.

Some leading manufacturers of venetian blinds are: 

·        Levolor

·        Silent Gliss

·        Design Blinds

·        Helioscreen

·        Vertilux

·        Maxim

·        Markilux

·        EcoSystem

Their versatility coupled with the wide array of colors and materials make them an extremely popular window covering for homes, offices and anywhere else you can find a window. Venetian blinds are also available in many sizes from wide slats to the popular mini-blinds.
