Do Vertical Blinds Block Out Light?

Our Vertical Blinds provide great light and privacy control; however, due to the overlapping design of the blades, a small amount of light may still filter through, so they do not achieve complete blackout coverage like traditional Blockout Blinds. If you’re looking for a solution with maximum light blockout, we recommend considering our Cellular Blinds or Roman Blinds, which are better suited for achieving a darker room environment.

Are Modern Vertical Blinds Better Than Panel Blinds?

Modern Vertical Blinds aren’t necessarily better than Panel Blinds — they simply offer different benefits depending on your space and preferences. Vertical Blinds are designed for flexibility, with adjustable slats that allow precise control over light and privacy, making them a practical choice for daily use. Panel Blinds, on the other hand, feature wide fabric panels that glide smoothly across large openings, creating a clean, contemporary look that suits modern interiors. The right option comes down to what matters most to you: detailed light control and versatility, or a sleek, streamlined aesthetic.

Can I Coordinate Vertical Drapes With Other Window Furnishings?

Of course! Pairing them with other window coverings is a popular design technique that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal. You can layer Sheer Curtains over the top to add softness and elegance. If your room has multiple windows or doors, you can hang them over large doors and match them with Roman or Roller Blinds on smaller windows, keeping a consistent colour or fabric style.

Why Choose Vertical Blinds?

Available with a centre open, centre stack, or one way opening option, fabric Vertical Blinds can be custom made to fit sliding doors and large windows of any size.

Our made to measure Vertical Blinds are manufactured with the EOS Helix Vertical Track System which enhances the efficiency and functionality of the Blinds. A key feature of this system is the market leading traversing wand.

The ultimate in child safety, the traversing wand allows you to glide the wand across the track to open and close the Blinds or twist the wand to tilt the blades. It has an exclusive clutch function in the hook to prevent damage under force, and the gear has been designed to provide a smoother operation. Its aluminium construction allows for easier handling and more versatility through split and centre stack configurations with one wand rather than two.

Choose between 89mm and 127mm wide blades which provide a minimal stack back and ensure maximum views and natural light. Vertical Shades can be recessed or face fitted, allowing the Blinds to be installed inside the window frame or on the architrave bordering the window.

Gone are the days of messy chains. Our contemporary chainless bottom weights ensure a neat and low maintenance appearance. The bottom weights are welded into the fabric to keep the blades vertical without putting pinholes in the fabric.

Our unique patented blade alignment mechanism ensures the blades are equally spaced and guaranteed to hang straight and parallel. The 25mm curved profile, head rail, and all visible components are slim and elegant in design.

Blind Pelmets complement and complete the look of affordable Vertical Blinds with the additional benefit of concealing the track and hardware underneath.
