These types of blinds are commonly used in homes, offices, and other buildings as they are easy to operate and can be used to control the amount of light and privacy in a room. Direct Fabrics offers a range of chain operated blinds in different colors, materials, and styles to suit different preferences and needs.

Yes, chain operated blinds can be motorized to make them more convenient and easier to operate. Motorized chain operated blinds can be controlled by a remote control or a wall switch, eliminating the need to manually pull the chain. Direct Fabrics offers motorized chain operated blinds that can be customized to suit different requirements and preferences.
