The amount of infrared energy and UV radiation that pass through the mini-blinds is controlled by its unique design. This feature decreases internal heating, which avoids expensive air-conditioning costs. In addition, sun damage to fabrics, furnishings, and flooring becomes virtually obsolete. Tilting or raising the blind slats to an optimal level allows brightness and privacy to be controlled. The BTG installation means that dusting the blinds is eliminated, maintaining cleanliness merely involves wiping the outer glass surface. The protective layers of glass prevents damage from everyday use.
