Are Vertical Blinds Right for You?

Curtains and drapes are great for covering sliding glass doors and expansive windows, but have you ever wondered if vertical blinds are right for you? Easy to use, maintain, and style, vertical blinds are a versatile and stylish alternative to drapes and shades. At Amazing Blinds & Shutters, we’re familiar with the many benefits of vertical blinds, and we’re excited to share them with you.

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers as window coverings and side panels in a living room

Vertical Blinds are Versatile

Drapery has two modes - open and closed. This is great if you want to go all in for sunlight or room-darkening, but it leaves something to be desired if you’re searching for a middle ground. You can tilt the louvers of vertical blinds for sliding glass doors to allow as much light as possible while maintaining a significant amount of privacy.

Panel-track blinds are a fantastic solution for tall or wide windows. Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds can also be mounted on the ceiling to double as a chic room divider. Enhance the “wow” factor of your windows by adding Alustra® Woven Textures® Panel-Track Blinds. The Alustra® suite of fabrics includes globally sourced options and exclusive styles from designer Lori Weitzner.

Easy Use & Maintenance

Vertical blinds stack to the side, which makes them a much easier-to-operate option for large windows, patio doors, and sliding glass doors. Horizontal window blinds must be raised and lowered, which can be cumbersome on particularly wide or tall windows. Because the vanes tilt 180 degrees, it’s effortless to access every surface for cleaning. Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds are available in three materials, including vinyl, one of the most durable window treatment materials. Vinyl can be wiped using a damp or dry cloth, depending on how stubborn the surface debris is. You can remove individual louvers, making cleaning fabric vertical blinds easy. The ability to detach individual vanes also allows you to replace a single damaged component, which is impossible with any other type of window covering.

Vertical Blinds Make Your Room Appear Larger

Vertical lines, including the vanes of vertical blinds, make rooms appear more spacious, especially in rooms with higher ceilings. Abundant natural light also creates a more prominent feeling of open space - Luminette® Privacy Sheers filter incoming sunlight to illuminate rooms with a radiant glow. The sheer materials, including premium options from the Alustra® Collection, also provide excellent protection from damaging UV rays. Your furniture, and your skin, will thank you.

Looks Like Drapery - Functions Like Blinds

Drapes are luxurious and sophisticated but not nearly as versatile as blinds. Cadence® Vertical Blinds are crafted using vanes that closely mimic the elegant folds of traditional drapery. Sumptuous fabric and vinyl options are available, and the curved construction reduces sound to give you a more serene interior experience. The patented headrail delivers consistently smooth operation, and stacking options include left, right, split, or center.
