Vertical blinds, a timeless design that has stood the test of decades, offer unparalleled versatility. Although their popularity has declined, they remain a versatile option for window treatments. With a touch of creativity and access to a wide range of materials, you can transform your windows with these versatile blinds.
We manufacture our Vertical blinds using the Louvolite Vogue Slimline track system, which is undoubtedly the best track system available in the market. With its curved fronted track system and UV-stabilised components inside, it may not be the most affordable option, but it is incredibly durable, smooth, and made entirely from British components.
The internal carriers of our vertical tracks are crafted from Nylon 6, a self-lubricating plastic that ensures smooth operation over the years. Each component is UV-stabilised to prevent it from becoming brittle over time. Unlike other vertical systems that use plastic links, our Vogue track system employs metal links for enhanced strength and longevity.
The Vogue track system operates using “Direct Drive,” which guarantees smooth tilting of the louvres without the need for planetary gearing, which can be slower. By default, we use metal chain instead of plastic chain because the metal tilt chain is significantly stronger. Wand operation is also an option, eliminating the need for cords in the track.
Aesthetically, the Vogue track system stands out with its beautifully curved front and is available in a wide range of colours.

Thermal Gain (Heat)
With the correct material, typically blackout fabrics, these can be highly effective blinds in reducing heat buildup in your home.
Thermal Loss (Heat loss from inside your house)
With the correct material, typically blackout fabrics, Verticals can offer reasonable insulation against heat loss, but they are not as effective as other solutions.

Most Standard Windows
With options to fit the top a window opening or to the frame, vertical blinds can be installed in most windows with relative ease. If your window has little depth, these blinds do stick out more than others as they offer tilt adjustment through 180 degrees. So, in a shallow depth recess you may want to explore other options that do not protrude a much.
Sliding Doors/French Doors/Bi Folding Doors
These work well with doors, with the maximum width of a vertical blind being just under 5 metres.
