A new option is available in metal blinds featuring a unique, patent-pending design, exclusive to Hunter Douglas. Tilted closed, Reveal™ blinds with MagnaView™ look like standard aluminum blinds. Tilt them open and you'll see the magic when it provides double the view-through of a standard aluminum blind. Simply tilt Reveal blinds as you normally would. The blind does all the work. This completely opens up the view at the window and gives aluminum blinds a whole new look.

Reveal is available in On-Inch and Two-Inch Blinds
One-inch Reveal with MagnaView uses the same coil gauge and is available in the same colors as Décor/Lightlines. It looks like a Décor blind when closed. Tilted open it provides a view-through comparable to a 2” slat product. The slats nest together to create this wider view. One of the advantages of this product is that it all works using the same standard headrail. No oversized or larger headrail is required. So wider views are possible in windows when there is a limited mounting depth. The one-inch model of Reveal with MagnaView uses the same contoured universal rail as Décor & Lightlines

Here is the view of a standard 1” blind compared to the view of a 1” Reveal with MagnaView blind.

The two-inch version of Reveal with MagnaView provides an even more impressive effect. It uses the same coil gauge and is available in the same colors as Macro blinds. Tilted closed it looks like a standard Macro blind, but tilt it open to reveal a spectacular view-through, comparable to a 4” slat product. Again, this dramatically open view is accomplished without needing a wider headrail or a deeper window. The standard low-profile headrail is used along with a new decorative valance that provides a more finished look.

In order to make Reveal™ cleaner looking and more streamlined, the cord stop that you are used to seeing on wood and alternative wood blinds is used. It will be color coordinated to the slat. The result is a cleaner, more streamlined looking product with just one lift cord.

A new tassel, exclusively for Reveal™ Blinds been carefully designed & engineered to be crystal clear and resemble a glass bead.  The result is an upscale & elegant finishing touch to the product. 

Reveal is available in a Wand or Cord Tilt, even on one-inch models —another new feature. Reveal with MagnaView is only available on blinds with a standard, traditional rout.
