Final Decision Maker: home owners, rental property manager, apartment tenant, office tenant

We have designed a product that will protect venetian blinds from wind damage thus increasing the life of the consumer's investment.  The system is easy to install and can added to existing blinds in a matter of minutes.  This revolutionary invention will save our customers money by reducing the need to replace damaged venetian blinds in homes and businesses.  An added sustainability benefit of our product is the reduction of waste which is produced when damaged blinds are disposed.  Additionally, our product will reduce noise caused by the movement of blinds.  This innovation is the result of a problem that the inventor faced regularly in his own home over the past 20 years.
