Why choose Vertical Blinds?
Some of the primary benefits of installing vertical blinds in your home include the great sense of style they can bring to any room. Along with the possibility of adapting them to almost any size and shape of window, they are also a very affordable option.
When it comes to privacy, vertical blinds also outperform other window blinds, such as Roman or Venetian blinds.
Easy maintenance, combined with a variety of waterproof fabric options, means vertical blinds are a perfect fit for both kitchens and bathrooms. There is also a variety of dim-out fabrics to choose from, helping you to limit how much sunlight streams through your blinds. These will also help to reduce sun glare for home offices or living rooms.
You can also pair vertical blinds with roller blinds to create a great coordinated style that also offers boosted practicality from your window furnishings. There are also cordless options for vertical blind configurations for those with small children, with remotely operated systems allowing for safer use.
Our friendly team of window treatment experts will be happy to answer any questions you have and offer any expert advice you might need. Naturally, if you are unsure which blinds, rollers or shutters would suit your home and budget best, it is always helpful to ask for professional assistance.
Things to bear in mind
There are a few technicalities regarding vertical blinds that you should bear in mind when choosing window treatments.
When vertical blinds are pulled back, they will stack together at the side of your window. However, our expert fitters will be able to advise you on ways to mitigate this loss of space.
If the slats of the vertical blinds you have in mind are particularly wide, they will usually take up the entirety of your windowsill. If this loss of space is a problem for you, wooden, Venetian or Roman blinds may be the answer.
Additionally, due to their design, vertical blinds cannot entirely block out sunlight. If this is the effect you want, then pairing your vertical blinds with curtains may be the best option.
When to Use Vertical Blinds?
There is a vast array of choices when it comes to modern window treatments, and choosing which ones will suit your home best can be a daunting task. From the wide range of blinds, fabrics and colours to patterns and textures, there is a myriad of things to choose from when deciding which blinds, rollers, or shutters will suit your home best.
One choice that often stumps our customers is the decision between vertical and horizontal blinds. Given that either choice will suit different environments and uses differently, it can be tricky to know which will be best for you. However, since they differ so specifically, there is a way to make your decision easier.
As a snapshot summary, here are some environments where vertical blinds would suit you better than the horizontal alternative:
If you have large French doors
If your windows are particularly wide
If you have sliding glass doors
If you have bay windows
If you have patio doors
If you have a sunroom with large doors or windows
Why are vertical blinds so popular?
The main reason vertical blinds remain popular, though not quite as popular as they were in the 80s and 90s, is that they are an affordable and practical type of quality blinds for wider windows or those with sliding patio doors. Compared to other blinds, rollers or shutters, vertical blinds cannot be bested in these environments.
Their affordability is another great benefit of vertical blinds that should not be overlooked. While there is still a wide range of decorative alternatives and types of blinds out there, people are still going with the traditional vertical blind because they are so wallet-friendly. Naturally, however, you always get what you pay for, so it is advised that you stay away from the really cheap options.
Naturally, with our many years of experience, Scorpio Blinds can offer you any advice you might need when choosing between vertical blinds. We can source the perfect vertical blinds to match if we know what sort of budget you have for your window coverings. Finding durable blinds that will last you a long time is the best way to get more for your money.
Some things to consider
While there are many upsides to vertical blinds, nothing is ever perfect. The main issue customers encounter with their vertical blinds is that they are quite easily broken, given how they operate. The headrail and slats are particularly prone to damage, but our experts can point you in the right direction when designing the perfect vertical blinds for your home.
Another thing to remember is that vertical blinds will need to stack at the side of your window when they are pulled back. This can be unsightly and even spoil the view for many people, but our professional fitters can help mitigate this issue. Their stacking is part of the reason why vertical blinds are more often than not suggested for larger windows and sliding doors.
