Choosing Vinyl or Fabric Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are a versatile covering and an easy maintenance, affordable substitute for curtains. They work well on narrow or large windows and French or sliding patio doors. When closed, a vertical blind does a good job of controlling and blocking harsh UV rays. Buy custom made to order sizes to fit arches, angles and bay windows.

Fabric verticals are a practical alternative to drapes, particularly sheer materials which create a contemporary soft treatment that filters light and reduces glare. Sewn-in weights allow blinds to hang well and rotate evenly. Some styles come with an optional PVC backing for increased insulation, privacy and a uniform appearance from the outside.

Smooth or embossed vinyl vertical blinds in a variety of textures and patterns can be topped with swags for a finished look. Choose sturdy plastic or aluminum vertical window blinds with standard 3 ½" vanes.

Enjoy the luxury and sophistication of vertical wood blinds that can be coordinated with horizontal styles in either casual or formal interiors. If they are to be used as a room partition, order with a double sided valance for a finished look on both sides.

Faux wood panels are low maintenance with the look of authentic hardwoods. Honeycomb cellular shades manufactured with a vertical pleat system are popular for their insulating properties. Request free samples to ensure your purchase will work with the home or office decor.

For smooth operating blinds check that there is a direct drive control unit with a sprocket wheel. There should also be a precision engineered tension pulley with left or right side controls. Tracks should be constructed from heavy duty metal or anodized aluminum with a one way, two way or split stack.

Automatic vertical vane realignment and adherence to child safety guidelines are important factors to consider. Make sure that mounting hardware is included and the manufacturers offer satisfaction guarantees, warranties. When necessary, it is possible to purchase replacement cords, brackets and vanes online for your vertical blinds.
