What are the aluminum and vinyl slats?
These are slats made from aluminum or solid vinyl and also differ from the wood and faux slat in that they have a curved rather than a flat profile in the slat. This curved profile allows for thinner slat material cutting down on the weight of the slats and increases the maximum span between supports equal to or greater than that found in wood slats. The material cost is less than that of wood or faux wood and consequently a lower costing blind.
