Traditional Faux Wood Blinds have holes through the center of each slat where the control cording runs. These rout holes as they are called, let light in, create glare and reduce your privacy. There is a solution to this problem! Called "routless", hole are not drilled in the center of each slat for the control cords. Rather, the cords are run up the front and back of the blind to give you a cleaner look without the light leaks that create glare and reduce privacy. Darken your room and get rid of those annoying dots of light on your TV or computer screen with routless Faux Wood Blinds.
