What it is Vertical blinds are individual fabric, PVC or aluminium louvres hung from a top track. They rotate to control light and slide to one or both sides to open the window fully. They remain the most practical solution for very large windows, patio doors and conservatories. Who it suits Vertical blinds suit homeowners with sliding patio doors, conservatories, bay-window runs over 2m, and any opening where a single roller or Roman blind would be impractical. They're also the workhorse of commercial offices and meeting rooms. When to choose it Fit vertical blinds when you need adjustable light and privacy across a wide opening, when you want to keep the option of fully clearing the window for a view, or when you're replacing tired old verticals with new fabrics and modern mechanisms. Why the survey matters Cheap verticals warp, chains break and louvres detach inside two years of normal use. Quality fabric, weighted bases, properly tensioned chains and metal-reinforced top tracks are the difference between a blind that works for one summer and one that lasts a decade. Recent vertical blind installs ## Vertical blinds Recent vertical blind installations across kitchens, bedrooms and bay windows. White vertical blinds across a kitchen bay — tilted to soften the sunlight while keeping the garden view. Crisp white verticals in a bedroom — clean lines that suit the modern décor and feature wall. Bedroom verticals fitted neatly to the recess — full light control next to the alcove shelving. Previous slideNext slide What happens when it's done badly ## The cost of cutting corners. Vertical blinds get a bad reputation because most installed versions are the cheapest possible kit. Done properly, they remain the right answer for the largest windows in the home. ### Risks & consequences - Plastic top tracks bow under their own weight on runs over 2m, louvres jam within a year. - Unweighted louvres swing in any breeze and tangle constantly. - Untensioned chains are illegal under BS EN 13120 in homes with children under 15. - UV-unstable fabrics fade and become brittle within 24 months on south-facing patio doors. ### Common mistakes - Ordering louvre width by guess, a 127mm louvre and an 89mm louvre look completely different in the same window. - Skipping the weighted base, the cost saving is invisible until the first open window. - Specifying chain operation without considering child-safety compliance. - Using interior-fabric verticals in a humid conservatory. Our process ## Five steps,no surprises. - 01 ### Survey & specification Width, drop, stack direction, opening clearance and louvre size all chosen in your room, not guessed from a brochure. - 02 ### Fabric selection 100+ fabrics including UV-stable, flame-retardant and PVC options for kitchens, conservatories and commercial spaces. - 03 ### UK manufacture Tracks cut to length, louvres hemmed and weighted, chains tensioned, typically within 2–3 weeks. - 04 ### Precision install Tracks levelled across the full width, louvres balanced, chains tensioned and anchored, operation checked. - 05 ### Aftercare Cleaning advice, warranty card, and itemised quote for additional runs or replacement louvres. - Benefits ## What you actually get. ### The right answer for large openings Single track runs up to 5m, no other blind covers patio doors and bay-runs this cleanly. ### Granular light control Louvres rotate through 180°, open, closed, slightly tilted, exactly as you need. ### Full window clearance Stack to one or both sides for an unobstructed view, important on patio doors and bay windows. ### UV-stable fabrics We specify fabrics with stable UV ratings, essential for south-facing patio doors that fade cheaper alternatives. ### Child-safe by design Weighted bases and tensioned chains compliant with BS EN 13120 as standard. ### Cost-effective on large areas Pound-for-pound the most economical way to dress very large windows. Specification detail ## The detailmost installers skip. Vertical blinds are a deceptively simple product, but the difference between a basic kit and a properly specified install is dramatic over the long term. ### Materials Standard polyester louvresThe classic vertical louvre, wide range of plain and patterned fabrics. PVC louvresWipe-clean, moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchens, conservatories and bathrooms. Flame-retardant fabricsBS 5867 Part 2 Type B fabrics for commercial offices, schools and hospitality. Blackout louvresCoated fabrics for bedrooms and home cinemas, when overlapped, give near-total blackout. Aluminium louvresSlim metal louvres for industrial and commercial installations. ### Methods & engineering Metal-reinforced tracksSteel or aluminium tracks rated for the run length, essential above 2m. Weighted bottom hemsEach louvre carries a discreet weighted bar that keeps the panel hanging straight and quiet. Tensioned chain anchorsBottom chain anchored to wall or sill to comply with BS EN 13120 child-safety. Stack-back planningWe calculate stack-back width during survey so cleared louvres don't block the opening. ### Variations we offer - Standard 89mm louvre verticals. - Wider 127mm louvre verticals for a more contemporary appearance. - Curved-track verticals for bay windows and angled walls. - Wave verticals (with optional cassette). - Conservatory-grade UV-stable verticals. - Commercial-grade flame-retardant verticals. ### Where it applies - Patio doors up to 4m wide. - Conservatories with floor-to-ceiling glazing. - Bay-window runs requiring single curved track. - Open-plan kitchen/diners with wide rear windows. - Commercial offices and meeting rooms. - Schools, healthcare and hospitality requiring flame-retardant compliance.
