INTERIOR BLINDS 101

DISCOVER ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

VERTICAL BLINDS

Understand that Vertical Blinds offer flexibility for large windows or patio doors as the slats can be moved precisely to enjoy natural light, reduce glare or preserve your privacy.

Here’s a comprehensive overview of what makes Vertical Blinds unique:

What are Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are a type of window treatment made up of long, vertical slats, or “vanes,” that hang from a top rail. So the slats can rotate to control light and privacy and are typically pulled to one side to open fully, making them especially useful for large windows and sliding glass doors.

Creating a practical and efficient solution for large windows and sliding doors, Vertical blinds offer excellent light control, privacy, and ease of use.

While they may not provide the luxurious look of other treatments, their functionality and affordability make them a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

01 Structure:

Blinds consist of individual slats that hang vertically and can be rotated or drawn to the side using a wand or cord.
You can choose between 89mm or 127mm slats. Or 250mm slats ideal for large windows to create a statement.

02 Light and Privacy Control

Vanes can be rotated up to 180 degrees and angled to block direct sunlight while still allowing some light to enter the room.
The stack can be fully closed for privacy or fully open for unobstructed views.

03 Ideal for Large Windows

Their vertical orientation and flexible operation make them a great choice for wide windows or sliding glass doors.
This vertical orientation allows the blinds to stack compactly, maximizing the usable space in front of the window or door.

04 UV Protection and Energy Efficiency

Lotus vertical blinds are available in sun screen fabrics and blackout fabrics to reduce UV exposure and help regulate temperature, which can improve energy efficiency in homes with large windows.

DESIGN AND CUSTOMISATION OPTIONS

Design

Colour and Textures: Slats are available in a wide range of neutral shades, bold colours, and textured finishes, so they can either blend with the decor or serve as an accent.
Especially popular are black vertical blinds which make a real statement in modern homes.

Design

Fabric vanes offer a soft, elegant look and can be light-filtering or room-darkening.
PVC vanes offer a durable and moisture-resistant option, are easy to clean and suitable for high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Customisation

Choose how the slats stack when the blinds are fully open:

One-Sided Stack: All slats gather on one side (left or right).
Split Stack: Creating a split in the middle and stack evenly on both sides.
Center Stack: Slats gather in the center (less common but visually striking).

Customisation

So Vertical blinds can be customised with different operating systems:

Cord and Chain: Traditional method using a cord to draw the blinds and a chain to tilt the slats.
Wand Control: A safer option for homes with children or pets, using a single wand to both draw and tilt the slats.
