• control type (no charge)
• control side (no charge)
• draw (no charge)

Control Type (no charge option)

Vertical wood blinds can be operated by means of two different systems.  The first is the standard cord & chain system.  This consists of a cord control that draws the blinds (stacks the vanes open or closed) and a separate chain control that tilts the vanes.  The second option is a single wand control.  This is sometimes also called a baton.  The wand control is attached to the lead vane and controls both tilt and draw.  You tilt the vanes by twisting the wand.  You then draw the blinds by pushing or pulling the vanes open or closed just like you would with a drapery baton. 
 
Cord & chain controls allow you to stay in one place while drawing the blinds whereas a wand control requires you to walk them open and closed.  Consider furniture placement when selecting a control type for your vertical wood blinds.  Wand controls have a clean look and are considered safer for children since they have no cord loops.

Control Side (no charge option)

If you order your vertical wood blinds with cord & chain controls, you will need to decide on which side of the blind you want them.  Be sure to consider furniture placement and which side of the blinds are easiest to access.  A wand control is always placed on the lead vane.  Thus, control side is not applicable with wand controls for vertical wood blinds.

Draw (no charge option)

Draw simply refers to how you want your wooden vertical blinds to open or close.  This is most easily referred to as to how you would like your vanes to stack.  You have the following choices:
