Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    Wait, I meant like in between the glass of the windows. If you have to pull and push the blinds themselves that would not work… right?

      Are you saying that they’d be in between 2 stationary panes of glass? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with anyway.

        Stationary for usual operations, at least. There is usually a mechanism to open it up so you can mend them if necessary.

      I have some of those. There’s just a sliding mechanism built into the pane on the inside. No string. Much cleaner look and so much easier to use.
