When you're looking for the perfect blinds, making the right choice can sometimes be confusing because there are so many products out there. In this article, we'll go through everything you might need to know when it comes to your securing your blind or awning with wire, so that you can make the right choice.
 

What are blind wire guides?

Wire guides are a self aligning system used on blinds and awnings as a method of keeping the blind or awning secure whilst still offering movement and stability.

Blind wire guides are generally used by customers when they want attractive blinds that can easily be moved out of the way when they're not being used. These particular type of blinds are usually operated by a crank system, which is easy for everyone to use, and they can be operated either manually or automatically, depending on your preference and budget. 
 

Where are they used?

Most commonly the wire guide systems are used in commercial environments such as cafes and restaurants.  This easy to use system can quickly deploy shade or plastic awning to provide shade and wind protection to customers, without the worry of flapping materials.  Wire guides can also be used in any area of the house. Due to the fact that they can be attached to the ground, rather than directly to the wall, they are suitable for areas without existing channels, such as balustrades. Wire guide blinds are also often used in outdoor areas in addition to a fence blind, functioning as a roof. 

Due to the ease with which wire guide blinds can control privacy and the level of light in a room, they are often used by home or business owners for larger windows, especially those facing out onto the street or extreme sun-exposed areas.

 

What are the benefits of wire guide?

One of the reasons that this system is so popular for outdoor use is the fact that they won't move or get blown around in the breeze like other blinds. They are produced using stainless steel, which means that they're built to last through any weather conditions and suitable for coastal environments. When you choose wire guide blinds, you can be sure you're making a choice that will allow for greater stability and a far more easily controlled movement mechanism than other blind options.

Wire guide blinds will also keep the temperature and light levels in your home consistent at all times, due to the fact they remain in a vertical position. These blinds also offer a non-obtrusive blind solution, as they can be retracted and hidden easily when they're not being used. For the interior-design conscious, these blinds are also a great choice, because there are a wide range of different fabrics and colour choices available when customising your wire guide blinds, so you can find the right blinds that fit your home and windows perfectly.

Here at Miami Stainless, our blind system of choice is RapidLock, which is a swageless system and requires no specialised tools.  It is used in combination with an angle bracket or deck mount to anchor the wire.
