Benefits of technology

The present invention is about window coverings with customizable panels. The panels have rows of openings that can be adjusted to fit different window sizes. The panels can be trimmed or cut to fit the width of the window, and the control member is positioned within the panel through the openings. The panels can be narrowed or widened by adding or removing material from the edges. The invention allows for easy replacement of rows of the window covering without requiring a special order. The technical effects of the invention include improved customization options for window coverings and easier replacement of damaged or worn panels.

Problems solved by technology

With any of the aforementioned window coverings, a problem that exists is a result of the fact that window spaces come in many different widths.
This custom process requires a substantial amount of time to custom build blinds for each particular window because an order must be placed with a retailer, which then sends the customer order to the manufacturer for assembly of the blind.
