Elegant Fabric Vertical Blinds,
Practical Vinyl, Or The Modern Look Of Aluminum Verticals — Which Type Of
Blinds Do You Prefer?
Fabric vertical blinds have remained popular for many years. You can choose from a wide
selection of colors and textures. They give you a feeling of soft drapery and
provide good privacy and light control for the room.
Fabric verticals have weights at their bottoms, which keep vanes in order when they move.
These weights might be sewed into the bottom of a vane, or there may be chains between the vanes.
The sewed-in weights are better, because chains can break easily.
When it’s windy, they are not as noisy as other types of verticals, but their
cleaning is not as easy as it is for vinyl blinds. If you are concerned about
maintenance, choose fabric vertical blinds with soil and dust resistance. Some
manufacturers, such as Hunter Douglas, add this feature to their fabric and
vinyl verticals. Or, there is another practical alternative: laminate vertical
blinds—fabric vanes with vinyl backing.

Vinyl vertical blinds
are more practical than fabric verticals, because of their easy
cleaning. They are produced with various levels of light control, from good to
perfect. The color range is mostly pastel and neutral, but some bright and dark
colors are also available. You can choose from solid colors to pattern and
embossed vanes. If you live in an area with high humidity, vinyl blinds will be
the most practical choice for your windows, because they are moist resistant
and are easy to clean. You may also consider S-shaped verticals that
provide complete light control and give a stylish drapery feeling.

Aluminum vertical blinds
If you are looking for a modern style window treatment,
aluminum vertical blinds can be your choice. They give a
modern, yet slightly cold look to the room, and you can find very impressive
metallic or non-metallic bright colors: silver, gold, bronze, red, blue, green
and others. Their vanes don’t have textures like fabric or vinyl blinds, but
you can choose brushed aluminum, which gives a brushed painting effect.
Aluminum vertical blinds are durable and easy to clean. They provide perfect
light control, UV protection, and sound absorption.
You can find aluminum verticals at Hunter Douglas.
