There are plenty of good reasons why you should choose vertical blinds however, sadly, vertical blinds get a bad rap because they’ve always been associated with office blinds and doctor’s surgeries and let’s face it, we’ve seen plenty of those in our time.
Good investment, great window coverage.
However, we’re here to argue the case for vertical blinds because they’re definitely worthy of your time and investment. Because of their tired and uniform reputation as the blinds for those with no imagination or taste, let us take this reputation and throw it in the bin, and then replace it with all of the good reasons why you should choose vertical blinds for your home.
Firstly what are vertical blinds?
If you’ve never come across them, although we’re sure you’ve walked past them at least once in your lifetime, vertical blinds consist of a series of slats which are also known as louvres. They’re all linked together on a chain and operated using a cord. The blinds can be fully open, fully closed or partially open. This gives you control over the amount of light you allow into a room.
What are vertical blinds made of?
Vertical blinds can be made of a variety of different materials. They can also contain special properties which will help keep a room warm in winter and cool in summer, with UVB protection and glare reduction. If you want to use them in a bathroom or in the kitchen you can choose moisture-resistant blinds which are particularly useful in rooms where there’s always a lot of moisture.
Affordable, diverse and plenty of choice.
One of the many advantages of vertical blinds is that they’re so affordable and you can use them practically anywhere. They come in a wide variety of colours and materials such as metal, uPVC, wood and fabric. This gives you so much choice, so regardless of the style of any particular room there’ll be a vertical blind that works for you.
Versatility, shape, size and louvres width.
Vertical blinds are also extremely versatile, they’re a great choice because they can be made to fit windows of all shapes and sizes. This includes small windows and floor-to-ceiling ones as well. They provide a practical and easy way to control and adjust the light, as well as the amount of privacy you need. You’ll also be pleased to know that the louvres come in different widths so they can be customised very easily.
Much easier to clean and maintain.
Unlike curtains and fabric roller blinds (which have to be taken down to clean), vertical blinds are easy to clean and a doddle to maintain. uPVC, wood and bamboo vertical blinds for example can be wiped down using a damp cloth.
