What it changes

The benefits

The aluminum blind is a practical classic for offices, stores and workspaces. Its slats come in four widths: 1/2 in (12 mm), 1 in (25 mm), 1 3/8 in (35 mm) and 2 in (50 mm), with several colours and finishes. It's our most economical blind.

The most accessible price

Aluminum remains our most economical option, while still providing real light control.

A modern or retro look

Thin aluminum slats have a look that outlasts trends — as much at home in a contemporary office as in a more retro decor.

Designed for commercial use

A simple, sturdy choice for outfitting several windows in the same workspace, without blowing the budget.

How it works

How it works

  1. Four slat widths1/2 in, 1 in, 1 3/8 in (35 mm), and 2 in — each width has its own colour selection, from the most limited to the widest.

  3. 20 matte colours on the 2 inThe widest slat offers the widest choice: 20 colours, all in a matte finish.
  4. A standard cordClassic cord operation, common in commercial spaces.

Why commercial only?

Aluminum remains our option for commercial spaces — offices, stores. For a home, our interior blinds and shades (roller shades, cellular, wood) offer better long-term value and more choice of fabrics and finishes.

Frequently asked questions

We answer

Is it the same thing as a mini blind?

Yes, mini blind and aluminum blind are two names for the same product — thin aluminum slats, available in four widths.

Is it offered for homes?

No, aluminum remains our option for commercial spaces (offices, stores). For a home, we recommend our interior fabric, cellular or wood blinds and shades instead — a better choice for residential use.

What colours are available?

The colour selection varies with the slat width, from white, black and grey to bright tones and brushed finishes, in matte or gloss. We'll show you the current collection during the consultation.

Can it be motorized?

This family is offered with standard cord operation, common in commercial spaces.

How much does it cost?

It's our most economical option. Text us a photo of your space with approximate measurements (width × height, in inches) at (514) 967-3629 to get started; the firm price comes after the measurements are verified: at the in-home consultation, or with your true measurements if you order yourself.

Where do you install them?

The West Island and Montreal, Vaudreuil-Dorion, the South Shore, the North Shore, western Laval, and the Eastern Townships with our team on site. Elsewhere, depending on the project.
