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

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.

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.
