It’s good when the sun is shining outside the window, but sometimes you want to hide from the bright rays of the sun, and from prying prying eyes too. Previously, curtains and curtains helped with this. However, recently one of the types of window systems – vertical fabric blinds – has become increasingly popular.
Such protection can be hung on the windows of an office or living room, and blinds are suitable for any window openings. In addition, they are used as a blocking element in racks and niches. Sometimes such systems are used to zone a room. Some owners successfully use vertical fabric blinds on balconies and loggias.
Vertical fabric blinds – technical characteristics
The basis of vertical blinds is an aluminum profile. Fabric strips-lamellas are attached to it. The width of the slats in American-type blinds is 89 mm, European ones are slightly wider – 127 mm.
Sometimes the profile of blinds is curved in the form of an arch or bay window. A decorative cornice can be attached to the top of the profile using special brackets, which will close the gaps between the slats and the upper base of the blinds.
The blinds can be controlled either on the left or right side. To move the lamellas, use a rope, and to rotate them around their axis, use a control chain. In order for the blinds to serve for a long time and flawlessly, make sure that the slats move only when open.
A more expensive version of vertical blinds has remote electrical control.
Caring for vertical fabric blinds
For minor stains, fabric blinds can be vacuumed. They should be wiped regularly with a damp cloth or sponge. However, if they are heavily soiled, they will still have to be washed. To do this, you must first remove the fabric slats. This can be done by removing the bottom chain and taking out all the weights. After this, the slats are removed from the runners. Then each fabric tape must be rolled into a roll and dipped in a soap solution for a while. After all the dirt has been removed from the fabric, the solution should be changed to clean water and the slats should be carefully rinsed. The lamellas should be hung in a damp state. Under the weight of the weights, the fabric tapes will gradually straighten out and dry.
However, lamellas made from low-quality fabric may lose their shape after such washing. Therefore, when choosing fabric blinds, it is better to give preference to denser fabric.

Photoblinds with creative design solutions, made in various color options, look great.

With the help of vertical blinds, the flow of light needed at certain times of the day can be easily adjusted. Therefore, this alternative to curtains is quite suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and even children’s rooms.
An important feature of vertical blinds is the ability to rotate the slats in any direction, which is very convenient for distributing natural light in the room.
