Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are wide panels of durable material hung on a sliding track. They're a favorite choice for sliding glass doors, picture windows, and other broad, tall openings. The perk of vertical blinds is that you can slide them out of your way. This makes it easy to step out a door or admire a view. You also have the option of angling your vertical blinds to the side. Doing this lets you enjoy filtered light while still retaining privacy and blocking glare.

These blinds are a lovely accent to any room. They have a sleek, modern look that complements a variety of decor. You can pick neutral colors that fade into the background or bright colors that draw attention to your view. You can also customize the feel of the blinds. In addition to traditional smooth blinds, there are also soft fabric-coated ones and textured ones that look like faux wood.

Reasons to Choose Vertical Blinds

There are many benefits associated with adding vertical blinds to your home.

• Low-Maintenance: Since manufacturers typically make these blinds out of PVC, they are very sturdy and moisture-resistant.
• Vertical Coverage: The blinds open from side to side instead of top to bottom. This makes them useful for situations where you just want to expose one side of a window or door.
• Easy-to-Clean: You can easily wipe these blinds clean with a damp cloth, so they're ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Movable: The sliding track makes it easy to move these blinds out of the way. In addition to sliding, the individual panels can be quickly brushed aside. This movability is very helpful for blinds in front of doors.

Upgrades and Options for Vertical Blinds

If you want to enjoy even more benefits of vertical blinds, give these upgrades a try.

• S-shaped Slats: These slats fit together more tightly, so they block more light. They're ideal for spaces that need to be darker.
• Valance: An optional valance can make outside-mount blinds look a little more seamless. On all styles of blinds, valances add some extra style and elegance.
• Metallic finish: This high-impact finish makes your blinds a glossy silver and adds a touch of glam to any room.
• Cordless controls: Upgrade from a traditional cord to a wand. Many people find wand controls easier to use, and they're safer for children.

Additional Vertical Blinds Information

There are a few things you should keep in mind while browsing vertical blinds.

• The broad shape of vertical blinds means they look best on larger windows. Most people only use them on a small window if the window is unusually tall or wide.
• Since the blinds aren't attached at the bottom, they tend to move around a little more. Only select them for rooms that need less privacy and light-blocking.
• The guided track system of vertical blinds requires more mounting depth compared to horizontal blinds.
• Carefully consider how you'll choose the blinds before selecting their stack side. This affects which side the blinds open to, so it impacts your view and ability to walk through the blinds.

Why Choose Faux Wood Blinds?

At JustBlinds, our goal is to make window treatment shopping as easy as possible. Our Buying Guide for Faux Wood Blinds is a great place to start! Here are some advantages when choosing faux wood blinds for your home:

• Moisture Resistant: The PVC materials used in faux wood blinds are resistant to humidity and moisture, which prevent warping or fading.
• Durable: Faux wood blinds are more durable than real wood blinds, which can mean fewer scratches and minor damage over time.
• Cost Effective: Genuine wood blinds can get expensive. Faux wood blinds provide a similar appearance to real wood blinds at a significantly reduced cost.

Upgrades and Options

Faux wood blinds have some options and upgrades available to enhance their look or function.

• Cordless Lift: This popular feature is included! It allows you to operate your faux wood blinds with a hidden control system. You can easily raise or lower your blinds with just a finger, and eliminate unsightly cords.

• Rounded Corners: A subtle upgrade, choosing to round the corners of your faux wood blind slats make the edges look more finished for a cleaner look.

• Valances: Standard colors come with Contoured Headrail only. Deluxe colors come with a 3 1/4" Royal Valance.

Considerations

Here are a few things to consider before purchasing faux wood blinds.

• Faux wood blinds are actually heavier than their wood blind counterpart, and may not be the best choice for larger windows. Installation and operation can be difficult for large windows.
• While they have a similar appearance to wood blinds, faux wood blinds are not an exact replica. There are many options available to get a similar appearance, along with embossed slats to get a more realistic wood grain appearance. If style and material are a top priority, consider ordering free samples to see and feel for yourself.
