ABSTRACT:
A first version of a multilayer slat for horizontal or vertical blind assemblies includes a translucent inside layer, a first transparent base layer, and a translucent outside layer. This slat may also include a second base layer, which is either transparent or translucent depending on the percentage of light to be transmitted through the slat. The base layer may be of a different color than the inside layer, so that light transmitted through the slat is viewed as being differently colored than light reflected from the surface of the slat. The inside layer of the slat may include a foaming agent producing a matte surface texture. Another version of the multilayer slat includes a laminated inside layer, with a foaming agent in a base layer causing a matte surface texture of the laminated layer.
