In the next few weeks, we'll be announcing some very cool new things! New Colors! New Fabrics! New Products that you're not going to find anywhere else!

 In the meantime, let me tell you a bit more about a product you can find at Budget Blinds that you might not find anywhere else! It's called Signature Murano. It's a flexible, fabric louvered blind that allows filtered light to permeate your space while preserving privacy. It operates like a traditional blind you may have in your home, but unlike a traditional blind, it will hold up to an errant pass during an indoor football game, repeated peeks through the blinds to see who's at the door, damp areas like the kitchen or bath, and much more.

We'll be telling you more about this product in the near future. In the meantime, here's a peak at how Signature Murano looks in one real life application in a family room. (Photo Courtesy of Budget Blinds of Ramapo & Orange County, NY) 

We get asked this question a lot! A plantation shutter is a shutter with louvers wider than 1.25" or 3.2 cm.  Most of the shutters sold by Budget Blinds franchisees exceed this louver width, so technically, we sell a lot of plantation shutters.  If you have a view that you really enjoy, opt for the widest louver available. Wider louvers preserve more of the view.
