Blinds.com offers enclosed aluminum mini blinds and enclosed cellular shades, both of which will bring style, privacy and glare control to your door.
The enclosed aluminum door blinds are available as white blinds enclosed in tempered safety glass and can be adjusted using the light touch controls built into the side of the frame. One control allows them to be tilted nearly 180 degrees and the other can lower the blinds or collapse them to the top.
