A blind component is a type of window covering that consists of horizontal slats. The slats are usually made of wood, metal, or plastic and can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering a room. The term 'SLAT' is used to describe the individual pieces of the blind component. Slats are typically connected to a headrail and can be opened and closed with a cord or wand. Blind components are a popular choice for window treatments as they provide privacy and light control.
