Blind Construction:
Headrail: Cold rolled steel, bonderized, corrosion resistant, finish painted, bakecoated and formed into a 1.5” x 1” U-shape profile with rolled edges at top.
Bottomrail: Cold rolled steel, bonderized, corrosion resistant, finish painted, bakecoated and formed after painting into ¾” width. Bottomrail End Caps are soft molded plastic formed to fit over the ends of the bottomrail, available with pin and hold down brackets to secure bottomrail to jamb or sill.
Slats: Manufacturered from magnesium alloy AIMg 3.5, which is a chemical composition, 1” wide. Highly corrosive resistant. The material is functional in different environments without oxidating. They are tested for color stability, and the baked enamel finish can withstand 500 hours at 100% humidity; 300 hours in a 5% salt spray solution at 85 degrees, and 250 hours in accelerated weather without blistering, corroding, or adhesive failure.
Tilter: The tilter mechanism is a worm and gear type, of heavy-duty non-absorbing plastic, resistant to heat and water, to maintain slats at any angle. The tilter housing is of a special heavy-duty plastic to provide long lasting maintenance free operation. The protruding worm attached directly to a tubular wand. 5:1 ration ensures case of opening/closing slats.
Wand: A clear co-polyester rod, hexagonal for positive grip, with a metal hook at one end, which attaches the wand to the tilter gear.
Cord Lock: A housing of durable plastic containing metal rollers over which the cords ride. The floating knurled brass rollers are designed to lock the cord at any length. A metal cord separator guide prevents the cords from becoming entangled.
Tilt Rod: Made of cold rolled steel with corrosion-resistant finish and shaped to fit corresponding openings in tape roll and tilter components.
Braided Ladder: Made of high-density polyester yard in a ladder formation with vertical components.
Lift Cords: Made of braided polyester. The cord is secured to the bottomrail by means of a tape lock button.
Installation Brackets: Snap-in brackets of .042” cold rolled steel, bonderized and treated to resist corrosion, with a bake-on finish paint coat to match headrail color. For blinds over 60” wide, center support brackets are provided, to be spaced evenly with maximum spacing 36”.
