Why are vertical blinds so popular?

Still the most-fitted blind in Stoke-on-Trent. We look at why — control over light, patio-door friendly, easy to clean — and when a vertical is the wrong choice.

Cameo vertical blinds beside a window

Vertical blinds have been around since the 1960s and we still fit more of them than anything else. Fashion has moved on; the reasons have not.

They solve the patio-door problem

Verticals draw fully to one side so the door is clear, and the louvres tilt for privacy while the room stays bright. No other blind handles a wide sliding door as neatly.

Control over light without blocking the view

Tilting the louvres a few degrees cuts glare from a low sun while you can still see the garden. Rollers and romans are all-or-nothing by comparison.

They are easy to live with

  • Individual louvres wipe clean or can be replaced — we supply replacement slats for any blind we have fitted.
  • Fabrics now include blackout, dim-out, thermal and rigid PVC.
  • Weighted bottom chains have given way to sewn-in weights, so there is nothing for children to catch.

“Fast, efficient and would definitely recommend.”

When a vertical is the wrong choice

Small windows, where a louvre stack takes too much glass; bathrooms with a lot of steam, where a PVC roller is simpler; and any room where you want a soft, upholstered look — go roman.
