Vertical Blinds – Austin, TX
Excellent Coverage for Sliding Doors & Wide Windows
Not all blinds are horizontal in nature. At Southern Shutters, Shades & Blinds, interested customers can also find vertical blinds that will help you better filter and direct sunlight throughout each day. This style of blinds typically covers the space from the top of the window to the floor, requires a track, and is especially useful for wide windows and/or sliding and patio doors. They can bring a clean, modern look to any room, as well as plenty of practical coverage!
How Do You Use Vertical Blinds?
Although horizontal and vertical blinds may be different in overall appearance and their mechanics, their overall functions are quite similar.
- They can repel light away from one’s home, which helps with energy efficiency and keeps the space cooler.
- They allow homeowners to control the amount of direct sunlight a room receives.
- They provide privacy and stop strangers from being able to see inside the house.
- Their appearance can be coordinated with the rest of the room’s designed touches for an attractive look.
Some specific types of vertical blinds or shades can actually soften natural light as well, which reduces unpleasant glares and provides a nice ambiance.
Types of Vertical Blinds
At Southern Shutters, Shades & Blinds, we’re proud to offer multiple types of vertical blinds for homeowners throughout the Austin area and Central Texas:
Each type has a special style and is available in several colors, which means you can choose the option that’s best for your needs! Our team will be happy to help you narrow down your choices and leave you with plenty of confidence about your brand-new blinds.
What Materials are Used?
The three kinds of vertical blinds we offer come in two materials: fabric and vinyl. Once the material is chosen and the blinds have been created, they are placed onto a track and then adjusted either to the right or the left, which can block light or allow more of it into the space – whatever you prefer. These blinds are often usually coated with an anti-static treatment and feature wider slats for more comprehensive protection. During your consultation, our dedicated professionals can offer more personalized advice regarding which material is best for your needs.
Benefits of Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds offer some valuable advantages over horizontal blinds, including:
- They’re very useful for sliding doors and wide windows. Horizontal blinds may not always be practical for certain services. Vertical blinds can do a great job of covering even extremely wide windows.
- It’s easier to keep them clean. Faux wood and PVC materials are very resistant against moisture and they don’t accumulate dust as quickly as horizontal blinds.
- Their thicker nature blocks more light. The slats used for vertical blinds are much bigger than horizontal blinds, which gives your family more control over how much light enters the room.
