Vertical Blinds Derby

Vertical blinds don’t really go out of fashion per se, they actually are quite resilient in that they rapidly evolve to stay current with the current fashion. Currently we employ a variety of new materials and technology that keeps them current and relevant with the times. Furthermore, we have eco-friendly materials that are also sustainable and these also help to keep them desirable.

They can be noisy when the wind blows through them and with the louvres moving about, it can impede privacy and light control.

Made to measure vertical blinds should easily last around 7-8 years if they are well maintained and not subject to damp conditions.

Yes! If the original style and material is still available then you can replace just the slats you need to, but if not, we can simply replace all the slats, which would be cheaper than replacing the whole blind and the control mechanisms and weights and chains, etc. Assuming they are still in good condition.

Only if you use cheap materials! Good quality components and materials for vertical blinds can really transform a room from looking tired to looking modern, stylish and productive.

Both have their places and both have pros and cons in different places. Venetian blinds are a bit more maintenance than Vertical blinds, but then they don’t blow about quite as much when the window is open. You wouldn’t use Venetians for very large windows either, the strain that is applied to the control mechanisms could be too much for very large installations, whereas vertical blinds are perfect for large windows and are much more controllable in those places too.

Typically vertical blinds are fitted with around a 3cm clearance at the bottom, though this can be lower. A clearance is always made though to prevent wear damaged when opening and closing the blinds.

A single vertical blind should take around 10-15 minutes to install.

They are great for covering large windows or sliding glass doors, easy to control and are very easy to maintain and clean.
