Fabric Vertical Blinds

     The most common style of vertical blind is manufactured from a vinyl fabric.  This style has graced many a sliding glass door over the years.  However, homeowners and landlords are opting for softer and more fashionable window treatments these days.  Fabric vertical blinds are the answer if you have a large glass area or sliding door to cover.

    You will find vertical blinds to be very versatile and come in many styles, colors and textures.  They add a decorative element to the room while softening the hard lines of a door or picture window.  Bay windows, French doors, and patio doors are also great places to use vertical blinds manufactured from or covered with fabric materials.

     Most all vertical blinds can be installed over the glass or within the frame.  Many styles come standard with a headrail or matching valence to give you an additional decorative accent and a polished appearance.  Consider matching or coordinating the fabric color or texture with the other window coverings within the same space or surrounding spaces.

     A natural folding shade is one version of a fabric vertical blind that acts and looks like a drapery but works like a regular vertical blind.  There are no draw cords required for this style, so it’s an attractive option for households with pets or young children.  A folding shade can be installed from the ceiling and act as a room divider as well.  The natural fibers from which this style is created instantly bring warmth and charm into your space.

     Blinds.com, an online window fashion company, offers a fabric vertical blind that is truly unique.  It is called a Vertiglide Shade.  You can choose between a soft sheer shading style or from a honeycomb shade style.  Both offer excellent light control and can easily be matched with honeycomb or soft shades for your windows.  These styles are installed using a track system and are operated by hand.

     Fabric vertical blinds provide protection for you and your furnishings from the hot sun during the warmest hours of the day.  They also provide excellent insulation for a large window expanse or sliding door throughout the year.  Small weights are hidden within the fabric so the blinds will hang correctly and will stay in place once they’ve been opened or closed.

     Materials such as bamboo and wood are also being incorporated into fabric vertical window blind options.  Verticals manufactured from these natural materials are a nice option for those homeowners who are interested in going green in their homes.  The natural texture of bamboo and wood are an interesting addition to any style of décor.

     Bali®, Hunter Douglas®, and Blindsgalore® also offer fantastic fabric vertical blind choices for your home, office, rental property, or retail establishment.  Colors and textures vary from brand to brand, but with all the choices available, you’ll find one that works well for you and your space.
