Vertical blinds are a type of window covering made from vertical slats (also called vanes) that hang from a top rail and can be rotated or moved sideways. Typically made from fabric, vinyl, or aluminium, these blinds are versatile, functional, and ideal for large windows, sliding glass doors, or spaces requiring effective light and privacy control.

How Do Vertical Blinds Work?

​

1. Vertical Slats:

   • The blinds consist of individual vertical slats that are connected to a headrail at the top.

   • The slats can rotate to control the amount of light entering the room.

2. Operation Mechanisms:

   • Tilt Control: A wand or chain mechanism allows you to rotate the slats to adjust light and privacy.

   • Draw Control: A cord or wand is used to move the slats sideways, either stacking them to one side or splitting them in the center.

3. Light and Privacy Control:

   • Rotating the slats lets you angle them to filter light while maintaining partial privacy.

   • Fully closing the slats blocks light and ensures complete privacy.

4. Ideal Applications:

   • Perfect for wide or tall windows and sliding doors, as they cover large areas without sacrificing ease of operation.

   • Often used in offices, living rooms, and patio doors due to their modern, streamlined appearance.

5. Customizable Options:

   • Available in a range of materials, colors, and textures to suit any interior style.

   • Some vertical blinds are designed with blackout or thermal fabrics for added functionality.
