Versatility Over 200 fabric colours and patterns Slats available in 89mm (3 1/2") and 127mm (5") slat sizes Ideal for patio/french doors & conservatories Available with 'no cord' wand operation Many fabrics are matched to roller blind fabrics so you can co-ordinate the design of your room Vertical blinds are probably the most versatile solution to sun shading problems, with many installation options and fabric types available. Vertical louvres can be rotated through 180 degrees, and drawn out of the way in either direction or with a centre split option. This allows full control over the amount of light that can enter the room, the rotating louvres allow you to effectively follow the sun as it moves in the sky allowing ambient light to enter the room without direct sun light entering. Our spectacular array of fabrics come in plain, textured or jacquard weave types. Dimout, blackout, PVC (rigid and flexible), washable and fire retardant fabrics are all available. Mono control operation The vertical blind mono control allows the blind to be operated without the use of cords. A wand is used to draw and twist the slats from a single operation. This allows for increased safety where children are present. Extra safety can also be achieved from the use of solid PVC slats as these require no chain along the bottom of the blind. Standard Operation The blind is drawn with a looped cord and the slats are twisted with a chain. Louvres are weighted at the bottom and connected to each other by chains that are fitted near the bottom of the louvres. Another option features 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 as the base to which specialist coatings are applied to endow the fabric with additional performance features. Such features include finishes such as solar protective coatings for improved solar and optical performance and flame retardant coatings. Totally opaque fabrics are available in a variety of substrates for blackout purposes. They are also available in washable fabrics. Although such fabrics can be completely opaque it should be noted that vertical blinds only offer a dim out option.
