Vertical blinds can provide a highly practical solution for sloping, irregular shaped and large span windows.

Product Details

The range of vertical blind systems we manufacture have been selected for their combined ability to withstand the rigorous demands and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance suitable for both the contract market and the home.

A standard system consists of a straight head rail, usually with white aluminium but can be powder coated to any RAL colour.

The track is fitted with a re-alignment mechanism to redirect wrongly tilted slats.  They come with a variety of different styles of operation that can be altered to the customer’s requirement.

Sloping vertical blinds can offer a practical solution to an uneven window or opening,  it is possible to produce stepped vanes, whereby the vanes are varying sizes along the head rail to fit into awkward openings.

We are able to provide vertical blinds for arched & curved window openings.

In addition to the vertical blinds we manufacture we can supply the full ranges from Luxaflex, Silent Gliss, Sunway and many more.

All vertical blinds come with a differing variety of operation and added design features depending on the environment that they are best suited.

All vertical blinds come with the benefits that they offer excellent heat, light and glare control providing the best in door environment. 

Cord and chain can come in various colours and styles, to co-ordinate with any environment.  The system also has the peace of mind that it can be made child safe by the correct installation of a cord/chain tensioning pulley.

The Wand style operation is a ‘safe by design’ product, which can also provide additional styling to a vertical blind, providing a sleek alternative to the standard cord and chain operation.

The Crank style operation is a ‘safe by design’ product that can be permanently fixed to the blind or made detachable to prevent unauthorised use of the blind. 

 

The motorisation system is a ‘Safe by design’ product.  It consists of the motor controls housed (within/behind) the head rail, the motor is used to control the tilting, spreading and stacking of the slats.

The Cord and chain are the most common methods of operation of a Vertical blind.  The cord controls the draw across the width of the windows whilst the chain operates the tilt function of the vanes. 

The wand is commonly used in a healthcare environment or where there is potential risk of self-harm.  The wand controls both the draw and tilt functions.  

 

The crank rod is attached to the gearbox and controls both the draw and tilt functions.  Similar in nature and design to the wand but offering a more stylist alternative that can be removed.  

The motorised system is available with a wide variety of control methods and configurations, that can be hardwired, radio remote controlled or linked to a building management or AV system.  There are sensors available to tilt the blinds based on the time, temperature or light levels within a building.  These systems are simple to operate but provide the user with total control over light, heat and privacy.

There are different styles of opening and stacking with vertical blinds.

 

There are vast array of fabrics available to suit any environment, which come in all colours, patterns and styles.
