Aesthetics vs Function?

Standard sealed weights

With our sealed weights there are no chain joiners, this is a new modern look for vertical blinds. The weights are sewn in shut on all four sides in a flat pocket at the bottom of the slat. This is done primarily for aesthetic reasons.

Chain joiners

With chain joiners you are able to open doors and windows and have the blinds move around less, as these chains that run along the bottom to join each slat will stabilise the slats from wind, and even the movement when opening and shutting your blinds. This is the only benefit to chain joiners.

Deciding where to mount your Blind

If you’ve already decided what way to mount your blind and are ready to measure your blinds you can view our measuring instructions here.

Determining where to mount your blind is not always a matter of personal preference, there are definitely plenty of practical reasons to consider when making your choice. Is Blocking Light more Important in certain rooms? Appearance? Will it Fit? Here’s what you need to know to help you decide.

Recess Fit

Give your window a clean, simple look
Streamline a row of windows, helps windows appear slimmer and more discreet
Highlight attractive Window Moldings (Architraves)
Most popular way to Install Blinds

Face Fit

Minimise light gaps offerering better privacy
Make your window appear larger
Hide windows that are crooked or unattractive
Clear obstructions in the window recess like winders, knobs, etc that would interfere with an Inside mounting Blind (Depth requirements can be found on Measuring Page)

Choosing Recess or Face fit

A Recess Fit (Inside Mount) fits on the inside of the window casing. A Face Fit (Outside Mount) hangs on the architrave above the window, or on the wall above the window. We recommend a Recess Fit whenever possible.

Recess (Inside Mount)

Give your window a clean, simple look
Highlight attractive window architraves
Make your windows appear slimmer and your walls more spacious

Recess (Inside Mount)

Minimise light gaps and offer more privacy
Make your window appear larger
Hide windows that are crooked or unattractive
Clear obstructions in the window recess (like winders, knobs, etc) that would interfere with a Recess Fit

Blockout

A vertical blind will never achieve full blackout (due to light seepage between slats). However a blockout fabric completely stops all light from passing through the material, as well as some heat. Ideal for complete night time privacy, great for bedrooms to stop prying eyes and where the early rising sun may stop you from getting a full nights rest. Blockout is our most popular fabric type sold.

What Is the right material for your window?

Blockout

Blockout completely blocks all light from passing through the material, as well as some heat. Ideal for complete night time privacy, great for bedrooms to stop prying eyes and where the early rising sun may stop you from getting a full nights rest. Blockout is our most popular fabric type sold.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen will block the intensity of the light and heat coming through whilst still maintaining a view. Depending on the fabric chosen over 95% of harmful UV rays are blocked protecting your furniture and floors. Sunscreen offers great day time privacy, people are unable to see in from the outside unless there are lights on inside.

Light Filtering

Light Filtering offers great day time privacy and blocks the view whilst still allowing most of the light in to brighten the room. How much light is diffused will depend on the fabric and colour chosen, we advise you to order our free samples for testing. Light Filtering is not suitable for night time privacy as it’s possible to make out silhouettes if the lights are on inside.

Track Control

Wand

The great benefit of a wand operated track is that there are no cords! Without cords there is no need worry about child and pet safety. A Wand control track is hand drawn with minimal effort. With a tilt of the wand you can also open the tilt of the slats.

Corded

With a cord operated track the premise is the same, except you will use cords to draw and tilt the slats.

Vertical Slat Sizes

127mm Slats

Our most popular slat size when it comes to vertical blinds, these louvres look great in larger windows, offering more coverage, more chance to enjoy our stunning fabrics and much fewer gaps between slats. Fewer gaps always mean less light leakage. This slat size is also priced better than our 89mm option.

89mm Slats

Our 89mm slats are a stylish alternative and are great for hanging in smaller windows. They fit the space much more neatly and compactly. They’re great for larger windows too, if that’s what you prefer. Our golden rule is always to match slat sizes across multiple windows, so if you have a smaller window that suits 89mm we reckon it’s a good idea to go with them across the board.
