Window blinds are simple to operate with the help of a blind cord, just pull either one of the tilt cords to open, angle, or close the slat. Blind cords or cord for blinds are cords or blind string used for operating the window blind to either open, tilt, or close up. Blind cords are made from materials like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene and are available in colors like white, cream, gray, black, brown, etc. The suppliers on Alibaba.com have different types and sizes of corded blinds available for window blinds.

Types of blind cords

The standard cord has two or more cords that are attached to small locking devices for easy setting of the blinds to any angle or height. Pull cord blinds are long and thin with three bundles of strings. They have a small bulb-like handle or a plastic cone at the tail end of the blind chain for ease and fast use. The single-blind cord has a card-locking mechanism within the blind valance that enables users to raise or lower the blind by pulling it at different angles. One angle raises the blind while the other angle lowers the blind. For example, some of the single-blind cords are the Venetian blind cord and the Roman blind cord. Another type of blind cord is the continuous loop cord, it has a loop that rotates in different directions to enable users to raise or lower the window blinds. The continuous loop cord is commonly made of metal or plastic and is often used with heavier or larger blinds. For example, they're mostly found among corded vertical blinds or as a roller blind chain.

Advantages of a blind cord

Cord blinds can fit anywhere, both in a small or large office, at home, and on windows that are blocked or half-covered by furniture. This is because blind cords are fixed by the sides of window blinds. Corded window blinds are easy to use and affordable, too, and they can be installed in both mini blinds and large window blinds. Mini blinds with cords last long, especially when they're properly maintained, so it's a wise investment for users. Also, a damaged blind cord is not the end of a window blind because there's room for a blind cord replacement to ensure the blinds continue to function properly.
