Easy to use and versatile, vertical blinds can be drawn neatly back to the side to offer you unlimited views, or the louvres can be rotated through 180 degrees to allow just the right amount of light into the room and maintain an element of privacy.

The vertical blind range is an eclectic mix of beautiful jacquard weaves and designs in contemporary colourways, seductive suedes, exotic grass effects and organic natural hues, all of which

will create window blinds of pure distinction.

Available in 89 or 127mm. with width louvres, all blinds are tailor-made to meet your exact requirements.
Many fabrics are also machine washable to keep your blinds clean, fresh and looking good for many years to come.

Vertical louvre blinds consist of two basic elements, a rigid headrail along which travel louvre carriers incorporating rotatable hooks and a set of louvres each of which hangs from one of the hooks. The carriers are connected to each other in such a way that they can be bunched together at one or both ends of the headrail, and drawn out along the full width of the headrail. When drawn out, the distance between adjacent hooks is less than the width of the louvres. Therefore when the hooks rotate the blind to the closed position each louvre overlaps the louvre or louvres next to itself.
	Vertical blind headrails are made in extruded aluminium which is either anodised or painted. They normally have a plain or ribbed face however some are available with a recessed front which accepts a piece of louvre fabric. This gives the whole blind a co-ordinated appearance. Components within the headrail are of injection moulded plastic with the exception of the links which control the spacing of the carrier trucks. These can be made of stainless steel or plastic. Operation can be dual control with separate louvres for tilt and traverse or mono controlled through a gearbox. Electrical operation is available. For bay windows tracks can be curved
Louvres are normally weighted at the bottom and connected to each other by chains which are fitted near the bottom of the louvres. Alternatively blinds can be fitted with a bottom rail with controls operating both headrail and bottom rail. Blinds made in this way can be fitted at an angle and are suitable for skylights.Louvres can be made in a variety of materials. Woven, knitted or non-woven fabrics are used to cut out the glare of sunlight whilst allowing a soft diffused light into the room. Where more light control is needed, for instance in computer rooms, flexible, laminated PVC fabrics are normally specified.
	Although these can be completely opaque it should be noted that vertical blinds cannot be used when 100% blackout is required. Aluminium or rigid, extruded PVC louvres are also available. Louvres are generally supplied 127mm (5") or 89mm (3½") wide although other widths, such as 100mm, 63mm and 50mm, can be supplied. Louvres can be flame-proofed to UK and other standards. They are also available in washable fabrics.
