VB (Venetian Blind Cord) and Leech Cord - Braided Polyester Cord
Venetian Blind Cord Offers Several Perks that Contribute to its functionality and Durability. Commonly used for lacing, outriggers, flag poles and general lashing. To prevent fraying, the cut ends are able to be melted together. Leech cord generally has a higher breaking load than VB cord.
- Strength and Durability: The Braided Construction of the cord enhances this strength and durability making it more resistant to wear and tear. This ensures that the cord can withstand the frequent raising and lowering of blinds and other applications without breaking or fraying. Braided cords have minimal stretching compared to other cord types. This means that the cord retains its original length over time and prevents sagging.
- Maintenance: Braided cords are generally easy to clean and maintain. They are less prone to accumulating dust or debris. If cleaning is required, a simple wipe-down is usually sufficient. The ease of maintenance ensures that the cord remains in good condition for longer.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Venetian cords can add a touch of elegance and style to the overall appearance of the blinds or any other applications. The braided design creates a visually appealing look and adds a decorative element to whatever application it is used for.
