What are Vertical blinds?

Vertical blinds consist of a series of vertical fabric louvres or slats, which can be twisted to close and obscure the window or opened wide to let in lots of light.  The louvres are linked together by a chain and are operated using a cord, positioned at the far right or left of the blind.  The blind can be fully opened to expose the window, by positioning all the louvres in an open position and then pulling the cord to move all the louvres to one side or other.  You can choose to have your Vertical blinds split in the middle, like a pair of curtains, so half the louvres move to the left and half go to the right.

Vertical blinds are useful and a good solution if you have large full-length glazing, like sliding or bi-fold doors.

They are useful for controlling the light as well as providing privacy. If you need to manage strong sunlight, the louvres can be re-positioned throughout the day to manipulate the light. And when it’s dark outside, you can semi or fully close them to obscure the view into your room.

When you want to open the door and go outside, the blind can be pulled right out of the way.

Vertical Blinds are good for conservatories because they are so good at controlling strong sunlight.

Naturally there will be a lot of sunlight to contend with, so you can adjust the louvres as the sun moves across your space. 

This will help to keep the intense heat and bright light at bay, and make your conservatory more comfortable for relaxing in.

Our range of Verticals blinds can be chainless.

Each louvre is weighted at the bottom to eliminate the need for stabilising chains along the bottom of the blind.

As well as creating a much neater look, this makes them ideal for doorways where children and pets might be moving through.
