Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

      They can! They look identical to the old blinds, just without the string. I had to ask if the installers forgot the strings when we got new ones a few years ago!

        Wait, I meant like in between the glass of the windows. If you have to pull and push the blinds themselves that would not work… right?

          Are you saying that they’d be in between 2 stationary panes of glass? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with anyway.

            Stationary for usual operations, at least. There is usually a mechanism to open it up so you can mend them if necessary.
