Vertical blinds: shading of angled windows, niches and horizontal surfaces
Vertical blinds don’t have to look like stereotypical stripes of light fabric on office windows. They are also perfectly suited to living rooms, which can both elegantly shade and divide them.

Thanks to the possibilities of atypical shapes of the guide bar, they can be used to cover not only angled windows in the attic, but also entire arched niches or even horizontal skylights. You can choose from dozens of colours or patterned decors, so your interior is definitely not at risk of boredom.

Coloured and patterned vertical blinds

Do you like colours? With vertical blinds, you can effectively and elegantly shade a room, but you can also fully adapt their colour and pattern to the surrounding equipment and your own taste. In this way, your interior will be complemented by cheerful spring shades, darkening dark colours or discreet patterns of abstract curves. You can also choose the type of panel pull-off direction: either to one side (from the control or to the control), to the centre or to the edges like a curtain.

Advantages of vertical blinds

  • you can smoothly regulate the amount of light
  • almost no dust settles on the vertical panels, they only need minimal maintenance
  • a large number of shades allows ideal coordination with the rest of the interior
  • suitable for shading large window areas or dividing a room
  • offer of non-flammable, anti-allergic or blackout versions of the panel material
  • they can also be used to shade angled windows, arches, round niches or vertical glazed surfaces
  • you can manipulate them either simply with a cord and chain, or with an electric control

Shading of atypical spaces

Similar to Japanese walls, vertical blinds are suitable for dividing large rooms, for example they are used for visual screening of sleeping or dressing areas. However, the possibility of an atypical shape of the guide bar also brings many other variants of use: they can be installed on windows with a bevel upper edge or in arched window openings. But that's not all: do you have a glass niche with a semicircular base in your house? Thanks to the guide bar in the horizontal arch, it is possible to install blinds around its perimeter and thus elegantly shade or illuminate the entire space at once.

In modern houses, skylights ending in a horizontal glass surface are no exception. Even these light tunnels can be shaded using vertical blinds in the plafond variant with two guide rails. The same technology can also be used for sloping roof windows.

Blackout vertical blinds

A rich selection of fabrics with special properties is available for vertical blinds - you can choose blackout fabrics for maximum shading of the room, but also panels made of non-flammable material, especially suitable for offices. Even allergy sufferers don't have to give up vertical blinds: the combination of glass fibre and PVC in the Iceland fabrics prevents the accumulation of dust and the multiplication of mites.

Awnings: Which type to choose for a balcony and which one for a terrace?
We see awnings every day above the shop windows, in the gardens of cafes or on the facades of houses. They are a natural part of the urban environment, where they provide shade and visual protection.
