The Shutter Style Blind Collection is a truly exceptional custom-made range featuring 65mm slats which have an elliptical shape similar to a shutter slat. This makes the Shutter Style Blind blind a popular choice among California Company customers who purchase shutters as well as blinds - the similar appearance of the 65mm slats of both means they work very well together. The Shutter Style Blind also offers ultimate privacy as there are no holes at all in the slats meaning that when the blind is closed it is impossible to see anything behind it.
