The
concept and operation of vertical
blinds is quire easy to understand. A series of vertical
slats hang in a line from and the operating mechanism and
draws means that they can be angled around 180 degrees.
In this way the slats can exactly control the amount of
light coming in from the outside, and maintain the level
of privacy inside the home. Vertical
blinds can be fitted inside or outside the window recess.
If you’re considering buying vertical blinds online,
what expectations should you have of a good manufacturer
/ supplier?
A good
vertical blind supplier
will be able to offer a range of standard sizes as well
as completely custom made options. The kinds of standard
sizes you could hope to find from a good supplier include
blinds ranging from a width of 12 inches to a width of 200
inches. A good range of drop measurements could range from
as little as 8 inches to as much as 96 inches.
A choice
of different coloured head rails is a good sign. This will
give you more scope in terms of buying blinds that fit in
more effectively with your chosen design themes. A choice
of white or dark brown head rails seem to provide a good
match to the different fabric colour options available.
High quality blinds
companies offer a very wide range of fabrics for the
blind slats
to be made from. For example 300 to 400 types would be a
range that offered you a high degree of choice.
On high
quality vertical
blinds the slats hang tidily down because they have
a fabric covered weight in the bottom of each one which
is designed to be just right to maintain the correct shape
and drop. The shape, form and operation of the good vertical
blinds can be enhanced by having dual rather than single
chain linked slats.
You
could also expect high quality vertical blind slats to be
made even more durable by the fact they have been sewn rather
than glued. Another sign of a high quality blind
company is the fact that they can offer you several
choices of draw.
