Aluminum Mini Blinds for Every Window in Your Home or Office
If you don’t want to spend much and you want a minimum of features, then aluminum mini blinds are a good choice. Made of durable metal construction with a thin design and low-profile good for fitting into virtually any window frame, mini blinds are one of the most practical and reliable window coverings that the world has to offer. Aluminum mini blinds can be used in a variety of applications, from decorating an apartment, creating a home office, concealing an extra bedroom or utility room, or simply as a quick and affordable answer to the need for a room divider.
Why Aluminum Mini Blinds Are a Practical Choice for Any Room
Aluminum mini blinds are a top option for any home for a reason. These are also light, long-lasting, easy-to-use and less costly than nearly any other window covering you will find. However, cheap isn’t necessarily simple. The quality of the light control, the daily usability for the room and the few minutes to clean up time with a damp cloth are key to using a high quality aluminum mini blind on a daily basis in the room.
The 1-inch slats are tiltable for privacy and lighting according to your preference. Keep them closed completely for complete privacy and darkness. Open them wide to let in as much natural light as possible. Position them so that they cast glare between them and keep the room light. It’s that much control for this cost that makes aluminum mini blinds the top choice in Maryland, Virginia and DC for apartments, offices and dorms, and even thrifty householders.
Another benefit they offer that is not widely known is their profile, which is extremely thin. Since the headrail and slats use almost no depth, aluminum mini blinds will fit every shallow mounting window space, such as a window on a door, or narrow frame openings, which other blind types won’t fit.
Deluxe 1" Aluminum Blinds
The Deluxe 1″ Aluminum Blinds look both sleek and modern, and they are tough enough for the daily use of busy homes and businesses. The blinds, made of 6 gauge and 8 gauge aluminum each, will not scratch and hold their form over the years of use. Anti-static paint finish ensures dust does not become trapped on the slats making them easier to clean and always looking clean.
All mounting brackets are hidden away under a streamlined headrail design giving a finished, smooth appearance from all angles. They come in a myriad of colours ranging from clean whites and neutral grays to warmer hues, making them perfect for a modern kitchen, home office, laundry room or office environment.

Where Aluminum Mini Blinds Work Best
Aluminium mini blinds are some of the most versatile window covering materials on the market. They work in a reliable and consistent manner in various spaces and applications.
Kitchens and Dining Room
Metal construction is not only moisture resistant, it will not warp, swell, or deteriorate in humid conditions. They can be wiped down quickly and kept fresh and clean, and are a good option for spaces that encounter steam, splashes and cooking debris on a regular basis.
Home Offices and Workspaces
Controlling glare on computer screens is one of the most common complaints in home offices. Aluminum mini blinds with angled slats allow you to tilt the slats to control the light entering the rooms exactly how you want it to go by reducing any screen glare without completely blanking out the room.
Rental Properties and Investment
Landlords and property managers should consider standard mini-blinds as they are robust, easy to clean, can be replaced if necessary and do not have to be expensive for multiple units.
Shallow-Depth Windows
Aluminum mini blinds are thin so they fit inside window frames that thicker mini blinds can't reach. They suit any opening that has limited depth to mount on, narrow windows or glass panel openings.
Customization Options for Mini Blinds
Every aluminum mini blind from BuyHomeBlinds is made to your exact window size. No standard sizes that you have to cut down on to fit. You place your measurements inside and a blind designed for your window comes out.
Cordless Lift
One of the most popular upgrades, freeing up the hanging lift cord. Push the lower part of the blinds up or pull it down. The blind will stay in place at any height. It offers a tidier look and is the best choice for families with children or pets.
Motorized Lift
Operate blinds using a push-button. For hard-to-reach windows or those that require multiple blinds to be controlled by a single remote or integrated into a smart home system, motorized aluminum mini blinds are perfect.
Hold-Down Brackets
Use blinds on doors to keep the bottom rail in place so the slats will not swing open when the door is opened. Simple and effective solution for French doors, entrance doors and any glass pane door.
Color Selection
Range of colours to suit any interior. Clean and minimalist, neutral whites and off-whites are popular. Other hues and finishes include warmers and metals for areas where the blinds will not be used as a focal point.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Aluminum mini blinds are incredibly easy to care for. Regularly dust with microfiber cloth or use a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. To clean more thoroughly, wipe each slat using a damp cloth and mild soap. Dust mitigation is a feature we really love about our Deluxe Aluminum Blinds, as the anti-static paint finish actively defends against dust build-up between cleanings.
Slats come in one piece, so if a few slats become damaged, you do not have to buy a new blind. Individual slat replacement is easy and costs are minimal throughout the life of the product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminum Mini Blinds
What is the difference between mini blinds and regular blinds?
Unlike horizontal blinds, which usually have 2 inch or 2.5 inch slats, mini blinds are narrower, usually 1 inch. Mini blinds offer a slimmer, more streamlined design with the narrower slat option which can be used in windows and spaces that are smaller and have shallower mounting space than a wider slat would fill, creating the look of a window that is out of proportion.
Can aluminum mini blinds be installed inside the window frame?
Yes. Because of their tight profile, 1-inch aluminum mini blinds need almost no mounting depth and are one of the few window treatments practical with shallow depth frames. They also use standard or hold-down bracket arrangements to install well on door glass panels.
How do I clean aluminum mini blinds?
Dust the slats regularly using a microfiber cloth, a duster, or a vacuum with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, wipe each slat individually with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Our Deluxe Aluminum Blinds feature an anti-static paint finish that reduces dust accumulation and keeps the blinds looking clean between maintenance sessions.
Are cordless aluminum mini blinds safe for homes with children?
Yes. In homes with pets and young children, corded mini blinds present the risk of the looped lift cord getting caught. Cordless mini blinds have no lift cord to become entangled. The blind can be pushed up or pulled down by pushing or pulling the bottom rail. In any position it will stay in place.
Do you offer motorized aluminum mini blinds?
Yes. Available as an upgrade for our Aluminum Mini Blinds, Motorized Lift offers you convenient control of your blinds. This enables you to control the blinds with remote control or integrate them into a smart home system for easy operation. Motorization is especially helpful for hard-to-reach windows, or for homeowners who want to operate several blinds simultaneously.
How do I measure my windows for aluminum mini blinds?
To measure for an inside mount, take the width of the top, middle and bottom of the opening, and use the smallest width. Measure the left, center and right and take the greatest length. When putting up outside, measure the overall width and height of the area to be covered, and overlap by at least ½ inch on each side. You can find our full measuring guide on the How to measure page and our staff are also able to provide a measuring service over the phone.
How long do aluminum mini blinds last?
Quality aluminum mini blinds with regular upkeep can provide many years of usage even on a daily basis. All of our Deluxe Aluminum Blinds are scratch and anti-static resistant with a durable slat construction and will work well in commercial and residential applications for a long time.
