    I wrote about some very specific requirements I had here:

    Best curtains / blinds for really tall windows in CBD?

    Basically, they need to be horizontally oriented like venetian blinds due to the direction of the sunlight, but also very light because of how tall the windows are. Presently it takes a lot of strength to pull up a set of very wide wooden venetian blinds nearly 4 metres up.

    I went to Apollo blinds and found what seemed like the perfect solution, called "countor" shades:

    They are basically identical to venetian blinds except made 100% out of very thin fabric, so they are very lightweight.

    However my concern is they are too thin - how long do they last? Is durability a concern? Has anyone ever used these before?
