I’ve been buying the cheap, plastic window blinds for years, the ones whose blades break like nothing.

I want to buy a few solid sets of metal blinds. All recommendations are appreciated. What brands are best?

Hunter Douglas, Alta Window Fashions, Graber as well.

That's off the top of my head, although I'm sure you could find a few more if you looked into it.

i am a big fan of using metals in everything i possibly can, but i don't use them as blinds. just a suggestion though.

i prefer wood or composite, as they do not corrode and electrically charge, which attracts dust and makes them much more difficult to clean, like most standard blinds.

though, metal is very resistant to damage, and you can get the motorized rigs to move really heavy anodized shutters that will last years and probably repel dust too, but the price is a lot higher. i guess it depends on how much you want to spend 👍

would not recommend textile, but do recommend leather. Leather drapes are great!
