LET THE LIGHT IN OR BLOCK IT OUT - HERE’S HOW BLOCKOUT VERTICAL BLINDS LET YOU TAKE CONTROL

The only window covering you’ll ever need. A vertical blind in blockout fabric can provide you with light control, privacy, and the ability to completely darken a room, all in one practical, easy-to-use package. Add to this the fact that vertical blinds are one of the most affordable window furnishings on the market, it’s easy to see why they continue to be popular in Australian homes.

If you want a classic look for your home, choose blockout vertical blinds

Interior design trends come and go, but classic looks and practicality endure. Vertical blinds are suitable for small or large windows and come in a wide variety of fabric colours. This makes them easy to match with any style of home décor giving you a classic look you’ll love for years to come.

Vertical blinds vs roller blinds - which is better for your home?

Vertical blinds and roller blinds are both practical and cost-effective window covering options. Sharing several similarities, they are both:

  • easy to open and close;
  • able to be drawn out of the way to sit with a low profile;
  • a cost-effective window treatment solution;
  • able to be made with blockout fabrics for total light control;
  • durable, timeless, and available in a large variety of fabrics and colour options.

So, with all these similarities, how do you choose whether blockout vertical blinds are a better option for your home than blockout roller blinds? Consider the type of windows and doors you are dressing. While vertical blinds are suitable for any style of opening, they are particularly practical for side-opening windows and sliding doors. What’s more, when used on doors, you can choose where you’d like the stack of slats to open from - left, right or centre. This means that you don’t need to open them fully to gain access through the doorway.

Vertical blinds fitted with blockout fabric

Today, more than ever, our lives are busy with commitments and distractions. So, when it’s time to switch off, we want to create a calm, private space to rest and recover. Vertical blinds fitted with our Greenguard Gold accredited lead and PVC-free Modern blockout fabrics provide privacy and will darken your room so you can get a quality night’s sleep. And, during the day, you can open the slats to flood your interior space with daylight, or fully retract them for an unobstructed view.

Match your classic, modern décor with vertical blinds

The sleek lines of vertical blinds create a clean, minimalistic look in your home.

And, you can opt for the classic style of operation with bottom weights and chains or choose a chainless system with sewn-in bottom-weight options for improved child safety and a minimal look.

FAQs:
