Aluminum blinds are going out of style as converters change
their preference to pleated shades. In reaction to this change, manufacturers are
discontinuing blinds. The most cost-effective replacement for a blind is a pleated
shade.
For original pleated shades that no longer work because the string has broken, V-Sales
offers a restringing service. This
service is ideal when the fabric from the original shade is out of production and
restringing will restore the shade's function.
Read our Shade Installation for instructions. Maintain your pleated shades by
following the Use & Care information. Look at our Shade Parts page for names of parts.
IMPORTANT:
Please
DO NOT
USE TAPE
to secure your shade if you are sending it to us. Tape peals the paint
from the head rail. Use rubber bands or string to secure your shade.
