Why Choose Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are designed to manage light and privacy on wide windows and sliding doors. They’re practical yet stylish, giving you control over glare and heat without blocking your view. At Custom Blinds®, we make vertical blinds using the same quality fabrics we use for our roller blinds. This means you can match finishes across your home or office – for example, roller blinds in smaller windows and verticals for larger openings  for a seamless look.

• Made with roller blind fabrics: durable, colourfast and available in light-filtering or blockout options.
• Perfect for large spaces: easily cover sliding doors, patio doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and office partitions.
• Flexible control: tilt the slats to filter or block light, draw them aside to enjoy an open view.
• Simple to operate: neat cord system to tilt and stack the slats left, right or split in the middle.
• Practical and low-maintenance: fabrics resist moisture and dust, and individual slats can be replaced if damaged.

Materials and Style Options

Our vertical blinds are made from the same strong, UV-stable fabrics as our roller blinds. Choose from sheer, light-filtering or blockout fabrics, plain neutrals or textured finishes, and even bold colours for a design statement. Because they hang vertically, they stay cleaner for longer and collect less dust than horizontal blinds. You can choose between slat widths (commonly 90mm or 127mm) to suit the scale of your window or door. Weights at the base keep the slats steady without the need for bottom chains, making them safer and tidier.

For a coordinated look, consider pairing your vertical blinds with indoor blinds or shutters in other rooms, so your finishes flow throughout the property.

Homes and Workplaces

At home: Vertical blinds are a smart solution for patios, living rooms and bedrooms. They give you privacy without closing off the light, and when you want a clear view, they stack neatly to one side. They also protect furniture and flooring from UV damage and help manage heat on bright days.

In business: Offices, clinics and retail spaces choose vertical blinds for their tidy appearance and reliability. They reduce glare on screens, improve privacy and can be made to match a professional colour palette. Because single slats can be replaced, they’re cost-effective to maintain in busy settings.

Made for the Garden Route Climate

Coastal weather can be tough on window coverings. Our vertical blinds are built for humidity and sun, with fabrics that resist moisture and fading. The hardware is strong and corrosion-resistant, so you can confidently install them in seaside properties, offices and holiday homes. When you’re ready to enjoy the view, the blinds draw fully to the side, making the most of the Garden Route’s scenery. In winter, closing them adds a layer of insulation to keep rooms warmer.

Easy Care

Maintenance is simple. Regular dusting keeps the fabrics looking fresh, and a quick wipe with a damp cloth removes marks or salt. If a vane is damaged, it can be swapped out without replacing the whole blind. The headrail track is smooth and easy to keep clear, ensuring years of smooth operation.
