| Differences between 1" and 5/8" blinds: |
COST
- 1" blind is less expensive
|
AIR-SPACE DIFFERENCES
- 1" blind requires a minimum airspace of 1-1/8"
- 5/8" blind requires a minimum airspace of only 3/4"
|
THICKNESS OF SLAT
- 1" blind uses a more resilient slat that is .008" thick
- 5/8" blind uses a slat that is .006" thick
- (Once the blinds are safely installed within the window, resiliency is not an issue as the blinds are protected by the glazing materials in your window system.)
|
AESTHETICS
- Due to the thinner slats, the 5/8" blind is easier to look through in the open position
|
SHADING
- 1" blinds will exhibit slightly better shading coefficient characteristics
