Vertical blinds not only traverse horizontally, making them easier to operate on large doors or windows, but they're also stylish, versatile and practical. Vertical blinds offer a whole host of great features with strong contemporary looks and easy operation.

Simplistic Operating Solution

This sleek window blind is designed with vanes (sometimes called louvres or slats), that can be precisely rotated or traversed to subtly adjust the light or add extra privacy. You can also pull the vanes back in a neat stack to reveal your view and let in natural light when you want it. This versatile design lets you move your blinds from the left, right or centre to any position you want.
