Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

      Yes. It keeps the heat that is generated on the surface of the blinds outside your window, so the room doesn’t heat up so much.

          Yes, it does become part of cleaning the window to also wipe the slats. They are usually made of Aluminium as far as I know.

          I posted a picture in a nearby branch of the comment tree.
