Scope note
Flexible or removable devices used to obstruct or regulate vision or light consisting of flexible panels or of horizontal or vertical slats that can be opened or closed, often with the angle of the slats adjustable to admit varying amounts of light. For heavier coverings, often of wood, permanently affixed to buildings, use "shutters." Prefer "shades (coverings)" for flexible screens, usually of paper, cloth, bamboo, or similar materials and sometimes mounted on a roller, used to obstruct or regulate vision or light.
