Vertical Blinds Explored Uncategorized 06.02.2023 Vertical blinds are amongst the most chic types of decor, no longer mundane office fixtures, a vertical blind can augment a space and modernise it while performing with great functionality. What Are Vertical Blinds? Vertical blinds, as their name suggests are blinds that are fashioned to hang from up to down (vertically), rather than side to side (horizontally). In the past vertical blinds were staple office furniture, drab and made from cheap materials, whereas our modern vertical blinds are available in a huge variety of eye-catching aesthetic designs and are made out of quality, technically advanced materials. Advantages of Vertical Blinds Light Control Vertical blinds often provide better light control than some traditional horizontal blinds due to the superior levels of ‘tilt’ they can occupy. This increased range of angular position means you can have a greater control of the amount of outside light that enters the room. Light control is an important aspect of choosing the right blinds for you, especially if you have larger windows that let in a lot of natural light. The ability to regulate this efficiently means when you require so, you can quickly illuminate your space or dim it if need be. This type of blind is well suited to being deployed in areas that let in a lot of light, such as kitchens or bathrooms. A more efficient control and regulation of light means you will naturally switch on your room lights less, subsequently saving you money on energy bills! Privacy Another benefit of an increased range of angular motion is they can maximise privacy for your space. The fully rotating louvres (slats) of a vertical blind ensure all aspects of the glazing they are attached to are sufficiently covered, while never sacrificing on the aforementioned light control. These features make vertical blinds ideal for spaces such as bedrooms as well as living rooms. Insulation When fully closed, vertical blinds offer an additional barrier of thermal insulation to help prevent the escape of heat in the colder months. This is only enhanced when selecting some of our technical fabrics, purpose built to aid in a specific function i.e. noticeably thicker for heat retention. In the warmer months vertical blinds can help deflect the sun’s glare and provide cooling shade within a space, meaning you never have to compromise on comfort no matter the weather. Low Maintenance Available in water resistant materials, vertical blinds are very easy to clean and can cope well in areas with higher humidity or moisture laden air, such as bathrooms.
