The main thing for you to realize about micro mini-blinds before advantages and disadvantages can be talked about is the actual definition of a micro mini-blind.  In the eyes of most of the manufacturers of these types of blinds, a micro mini-blind is a blind where the slats that make up the blind are 0.5 inches in width.  The slats are the part of the blinds that can be rotated up or down in order to close the blinds or open them without having to actually raise the entire blind surface in the same way that you’d need to raise a sheer or a curtain.  These micro mini-blinds have many good and bad points to them that dictate where and when they should be used.

Good Points

The style in which micro mini-blinds have been created is perhaps the most compelling visual good reason to have them in your home.  According to all of the experts that really know their stuff when it comes to the world of interior design, the micro mini-blinds are the ones that have the sleekest look to them.  At the same time, they are also the blinds that have the most contemporary look to them.  For many people that are trying to compliment the rest of their interior décor with the blinds, this could be the difference between actually using blinds and turning to something else.  The fact of the matter is that these micro mini-blinds can do a lot to augment a contemporary style of design and for that reason they are very popular blind types.

Another interesting visual aspect to micro mini-blinds is the fact that you can rotate them into non-existence.  These blinds are so thin that when you actually rotate them to the open position, they can look almost invisible if you are looking from the right angle.  This is something that is pretty much specific to micro mini-blinds alone and it is an excellent quality that they bring along with their purchase.  It is one of those things that may or may not come in handy, but is good to know nonetheless.

You have a greater degree of choice with these blinds when you are deciding the length that you’d like them to be.  Since the width of the principal slat unit is smaller, you have more choice in the actual length.  This is something that can actually allow you to cut down a bit on the overall cost due to materials and can therefore counteract some of the disadvantage that comes with having more units and having to pay more for the overall unit.  Flexibility also has a certain intangible value to it, something else that is worth mentioning as a good point when it comes to micro mini-blinds.

Bad Points

Micro mini-blinds have more separate parts that need to be made than other types of mini-blinds.  This is reasonably obvious.  For the same amount of space that needs to be covered and a thinner slat width, it should be plainly obvious that micro mini-blinds will require the creation of more slats than their thicker counterparts.  Unfortunately, the creation of these extra slats does usually end up raising the price of micro mini-blinds.  Even though they aren’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination however, many would argue that the good points mentioned above are worth the increased cost.  To the average person however, that increased cost is still a bad point about purchasing these blinds.

Another bad point that is worth mentioning about micro mini-blinds is the fact that these blinds are not the most durable ones on the market.  To some extent, this is a function of the material that is used in the creation of the blinds.  However, any material that is used to make micro mini-blinds is going to do better in just about any other situation that you can imagine.  For that reason, you need to be very careful when maintaining the micro mini-blinds that come along.  This is not to say that they are high maintenance, but it is more to say that they can’t take as much punishment as blinds that have thicker slats.

Final Thoughts

Generally speaking, micro mini-blinds work well with contemporary décor and shallow windows or doors.  These are the situations that are recommended the most on the part of manufacturers and most experts in the décor industry would agree with those assertions.  Keep that in mind when shopping around for blinds for your house.
