Vertical blinds are a simple, effective, and affordable window covering for sliding doors and side-opening windows. They are controlled by an easy-to-use wand or chain mechanism and can be opened or closed to varying degrees. Whether vertical blinds are covering a sliding door or a window, these blinds in modern colours and designs are a cost-effective and user-friendly window treatment for your home. 

Vertical blinds are one of the most affordable window treatment solutions for the family home, providing privacy, light and temperature control along with modern aesthetic appeal. These easy-to-operate blinds offer flexibility and a wide range of modern colours to provide a contrast within your home décor, or to blend in for a subtle, minimalistic impression. 

Roller blinds are also a great option, but vertical blinds are ideally suited for providing easy access to sliding doors and windows. Vertical blinds are a budget-friendly, practical solution suitable for all windows and doors. 

High-quality block-out fabric offers privacy and light control, as it blocks out all external light. It is a great fabric choice for bedrooms and home theatres as it allows the room to be placed in complete darkness, regardless of the amounts of light outside. Block out fabric is also a good insulator, keeping your home heating indoors during winter and preventing solar heat from penetrating the home in summer. However, the structure of vertical blinds means that while they can block out most of the external light, they are not the absolute best blind option if 100% light block out is required. Solid blinds, such as roman or roller blinds will offer more amount of light control. 

Vertical blinds are a versatile, cost-effective option to suit any window or sliding door. We offer a wide range of fabrics in an assortment of colours to suit any style of décor or personal taste. 

Before choosing your blinds, you should first decide what their application would be. Will they be used purely as a decorative accessory to your windows or sliding doors? Do you need 100% privacy or are you looking for a window covering that gives you the option to control the amount of light filtering in? 

Next, think about your current interior décor and what sort of effect you want the blinds to have. Are you looking for a design that blends into your existing space? If so, consider choosing more neutral shades in cream, white, grey and beiges.  Are you looking for your blinds to make a designer statement and create an immediate impact? If so, add in think about textured designs palette of black or grey. For expert advice and inspiration, contact the team at Cooroora Screens and Blinds.

You should always clean your vertical blinds in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Marks can be spot cleaned, with a damp cloth (no chemicals or cleaning agents added) but as the fabrics vary you should follow the cleaning guidelines. 

The cost depends on the size of your doors and windows, the fabric you choose and how many blinds you require. Contact us for a free measure and quote.
