In many situations, only vertical blinds can accommodate the functional requirement of a window covering while creating the look you desire. The main challenge is often to re-direct the heat and harmful rays from the sun without creating a dark dreary environment inside. With vertical blinds, fabrics can be selected that compliment the decor and provide varying degrees of privacy and light control. Most are suitable for commercial applications providing they conform to the specific fire codes pertaining to the space usage. PVC louvers are traditionally used for commercial applications because of their durability and easy maintenance, but today, patterned and embossed louvers are changing that view. Now these louvers are decorative as well as durable and easy to clean. If room darkening is desired, PVC is still the best bet, therefore adding a groover style louver to encase a fabric vane can provide both the decorative and necessary functional requirement.
In residential applications, vertical blinds are ideal and affordable solutions for patio doors, bay windows, “A” frame structures, or long spans of glazing. Hardware options include designer tracks with integrated valances, mono control tilt / draw systems, and motorized systems for a variety of applications.
