The Best Durable Blinds and Shades for Your Garage
Garages are one of the last places that many homeowners consider when they're buying new window treatments, but they're a prime spot for adding new blinds and shades—especially if they're detached or have large wall-side windows to match the ones throughout the rest of your home.
There are numerous benefits to having window treatments on your garage windows. First, they protect your privacy and provide the light control that you need, making them perfect for working on projects, creating a hobby space, or just protecting your vehicles from the sun's rays. Second, they help insulate your garage, which can be huge beneficial if it's not air conditioned. And finally, they create a more cohesive appearance with the rest of your home, particularly if you're installing the same type of window treatment on every window.

Cordless Aluminum Blinds
When it comes to buying window treatments for your garage, toughness and durability are some of the most important qualities to look for. Garages are known to accumulate dirt and dust, and that means your window coverings will need frequent cleaning. Our Cordless Aluminum Blinds are made with a high-quality aluminum that has a chip and fade resistant baked enamel finish. That means these blinds can withstand even the toughest conditions for years without needing to be replaced. Their cordless operation also means that they're easy to operate and safe for homes with small children.

These window coverings are ideal for installation over big windows and doors. In addition, their high-quality and highly durable PVC louvers and aluminum head rail are built to last for years under the harshest conditions.
