Mini-blind operation, options, and advantages

Original brochure page 2. The text and table equivalents are provided below.

Tri-State Mini Blinds are engineered with a magnetically coupled gear mechanism positioned between the clear insulated-glass unit to control light and privacy.

• The RL-T 100 Series uses a multi-functional single-track system. It allows the blinds to be fully raised and lowered, with a slim-line track guiding the tilting and raise/lower levers.
• The smaller top sliding mechanism tilts the mini blinds through 180 degrees. Two heavy-duty magnets inside the tilt lever are described as eliminating skipping under a normal amount of force.
• The larger sliding mechanism raises and lowers the mini blinds using three heavy-duty magnets and an internal gear-ratio design.
• Aluminum-alloy slats have a low-emissivity paint and ultraviolet-resistant finish. The brochure says the blinds are only available in white.
• The blinds are enclosed inside an insulated tempered-glass unit to eliminate dust accumulation and cleaning labor. The brochure describes reduced sound transmission and increased energy efficiency.
• A Legacy white handle with a twin-point mortise lock is standard.
• The guide track holds both sliding mechanisms in line; end caps retain the mechanisms. Use a normal amount of force. If excessive force causes skipping, slide the lever in the opposite direction until it re-magnetizes with the internal device.

Advantages described in the brochure

• Conventional surface-mounted venetian blinds can bend and accumulate dust.
• California/plantation shutters require more operating space and typically cover the entire patio door.
• Vertical blinds may be less expensive but the brochure contrasts their functionality, longevity, and appearance with internal blinds.

The brochure shows a 15-year mini-blind warranty badge. Mini blinds are only available in clear tempered insulated-glass units with an overall glass thickness of 1 inch.

In the panel diagrams, X indicates an active panel and O indicates a stationary panel.
