Vertical blinds are vertical lengths of fabric that are clipped to a sliding track at the top and operated with a plastic wand or chain. These pieces of fabric (also known as louvres or slats) are joined together by weights to ensure the louvres are evenly weighted across the length of the track, no matter if they’re fully extended across the track or nestled together to let extra light inside. The louvres are also joined together by a chain at the bottom which works to stabilise the blinds.

While the construction of these blinds seems straightforward, they’re designed to allow ultimate control over privacy and light in any environment. The vertical louvres tilt and turn depending on how much of a gap the user wants, plus they can also be drawn back completely to enable more light into a room. That makes them a great option for any space where control is paramount but where good design is also crucial.
