Vertical blinds are a popular window covering in modern homes due to their stylish appearance and functionality. They offer complete privacy when closed and when open they can allow you to retain some privacy while letting a good amount of light into the room. Vertical blinds can be made to fit any size of window and can even be installed on patio doors, so what type of vertical blinds should you get? Here's an overview of three types of vertical blinds for you to consider:

Fabric

Fabric vertical blinds are affordable and come in a range of colours to suit the décor of any room. The fabric can be plain or have delicate patterns woven into it, such as waves or stripes. There are blackout fabrics available, which can be particularly good for bedrooms, and you can also opt for a newer type of fabric that has a special coating on it to reduce the impact of pollen entering your home during the summer months.

Wooden

If you're a fan of natural décor or want an elegant window covering, wooden vertical blinds may be the right choice for you. They are available in different types and tones of wood, which allows you to match them to your wooden floors or panelling. Wooden vertical blinds are durable and great at keeping the room cool, but they may not be the best choice for rooms with high humidity, such as the kitchen, as exposure to moisture can cause damage over time and reduce their lifespan.

PVC

PVC vertical blinds are a sturdy option and come in a range of colours, including bright colours that may be particularly suited to children's bedrooms. They are water-resistant, so they are suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, and they are also flame-resistant. These blinds come in a range of thicknesses, so you can opt for thicker panelled blinds if you want to completely block out light. One of the main benefits of PCC vertical blinds is that they can be wiped clean, so if you have young kids who like to touch everything with mucky hands, or if your kitchen blinds are at risk of being splashed with food or soapy dishwater, PVC blinds could be the right option for you.
