Fall In Love With Vertical Blinds

6 Reasons Why Vertical Blinds Are Great

Vertical blinds are great – and we’re not just saying that because we sell them. They’re incredibly diverse, capable and useful thanks to their unique way of covering a window.

In case you’ve never seen a vertical blind, firstly, welcome to Earth – where have you been?! Vertical blinds are a popular type of window blind that consists mainly of a headrail and vertical strips of fabric called louvres. The headrail stretches the length of the window and the louvres hang from it. They are drawn across the window by cords, which also allows them to be tilted too.

Now you know what a vertical blind is, here are the advantages:

6. Great for patio doors

If you’ve got a large glass patio door, the chances are shading it is a bit of a struggle. Most often you want to shade the glass whilst still having access to the door.

A vertical blind is ideal as you can draw the blind right up to the door and still have access. Any other blind would have you ducking underneath it or adjusting it every time, which leads us neatly into point 5.

5. Perfect for large windows

Whilst on the subject of patio doors and large windows, nothing comes close to looking as well suited and classy as a vertical blind in a long window. For long windows venetian blinds can become quite heavy to operate and roller blinds look like a solid block of colour that some people don’t enjoy. Vertical blinds are made from louvres, and these hanging strips of fabric helps to create a gentler effect for window shading.

4. They make your ceiling look higher

It is a well-known fact that vertical lines in interior design give the impression of height in a room. The same occurs with vertical blinds. To save you from needing to wallpaper your small room in stripy wallpaper (and risking vertigo along the way), utilise a vertical blind to gently suggest height, especially when running across floor-to-ceiling windows or patio doors.

3. Easy to control sunlight

A vertical blind provides similar levels of tilt and angle seen with venetian blinds. It is possible to actually block sunlight whilst still being able to see outside, depending on the position of the sun, of course.

                                                        2. Available in a huge choice of colours
