Our luxurious collection of custom-made vertical blinds for windows is the perfect way to bring colour, style and practicality to any window of your home or office. Their inherent functionality makes them the perfect choice for larger windows, or any window where precise light and privacy control is required.

Made to measure for a perfect fit, each blind is manufactured to your exact sizes using a deluxe aluminium headrail that is beautifully rounded and contoured for a more modern, clean and fashionable look. The contemporary 89mm wide louvres or slats are either fully sewn or welded, depending on the type of fabric and incorporate bottom weights and chains for stability and to ensure they hang perfectly. Child safety features are also included as standard for complete peace of mind.

With such a wide range of high-quality fabrics to choose from including plains, textures, dim out, thermally efficient blackout, water resistant and flame-retardant fabrics, finding the perfect look and solution for your space has never been easier.

What are the Benefits of Vertical Blinds?

  • They provide effortless light and privacy control. With the pull of a cord or twist of a wand, you can precisely angle the slats to let light flood in or block it out completely for total privacy and shade.
  • They’re durable and easy to clean. Made from tough polyester or extremely robust and easy-to-wipe PVC, made-to-measure vertical blinds are ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms where spills and splashes are common. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth will keep them looking as good as new.
  • As their louvres hang vertically, they don’t gather dust like horizontal blinds, so don’t require dusting as often.
  • Choose thermally efficient blackout and PVC fabric louvres to keep your home feeling comfortable all year round. During the summer, angle the louvres to create shade and deflect the sun’s rays to help keep your room cooler. During the winter, close the louvres to tarp the heat inside and reduce energy loss through the windows.
  • Vertical blinds are ideal for larger windows and patio doors. They’re particularly well suited to extra wide and extra-long windows due to their lightweight nature and ease of control. Plus, they stack neatly out of the way to the side for an unobstructed view outside, perfect for patio and bifold doors that open into the garden.
  • Made-to-measure vertical blinds are surprisingly affordable compared to other types of blinds, especially if you're covering large windows, conservatories and bay windows.
  • They’re available in a wide selection of contemporary colours, subtle patterns and timeless jacquard weaves. Whether your home's décor is modern minimalist or more traditional, there's a vertical blind to suit all styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right vertical blinds?
When choosing vertical blinds you’ll want to consider your room's specific needs, such as light control, privacy, and moisture resistance. For living rooms, dining rooms and offices, dim-out fabrics offer the flexibility of shade and light without darkening the room too much, whilst bathrooms and kitchens require waterproof PVC and vinyl fabrics. Bedrooms often require blackout fabrics for greater light and privacy control. Larger windows generally suit lighter, more neutral colours, whilst smaller windows can benefit from colourful and bolder choices.
What's the difference between vertical and horizontal blinds?
Vertical blinds have weighted slats that hang vertically and are connected by a chain. They smoothly glide open and closed to the sides. Horizontal blinds as the name suggests have slats that hang horizontally which are suspended on ladder cords or tapes. They raise and lower to open and close.
Are they outdated?
Vertical blinds have come a long way since their office-staple reputation to become a versatile and stylish way to dress the windows of your home. They offer superior light and privacy control, they’re affordable, and they come in a wide range of on-trend colours, textures, and finishes. Modern vertical blinds feature sleek headrail designs and high-quality materials, making them a popular and fashionable choice for homeowners seeking functionality, luxury and contemporary design.
How long do they last?
The lifespan of vertical blinds depends largely on the quality of the fabric and components used. High-quality, made-to-measure vertical blinds can last 15-20 years, while cheaper, mass-produced ones may only last up to 5 years. Fabric choice, exposure to moisture, and if they’re operated correctly will also play a role in how long they last. Regular cleaning and maintenance will also help extend their life.
Are they suitable for kitchen windows?
Yes, vertical blinds are a great option for kitchens, particularly high-quality PVC or vinyl blinds. Their waterproof, easy-to-clean, and fire-retardant louvres, are also resistant to stains, odours, mould, and mildew, so they’re ideally suited to the demands of a busy modern kitchen.
Are vertical blinds easy to replace?
Replacing the slats is very straightforward. Simply unclip the old slats from the headrail and rehang the new ones. This generally takes only a few minutes. Replacing the track/headrail with a new one can take a little longer depending on if it fits into the original brackets. If it does fit, this will take a few minutes, if it doesn’t you will need to take down the old brackets and fit the new ones.
What are the disadvantages of vertical blinds?
Previously considered primarily for offices, vertical blinds have been modernised in recent years. Sleek new headrail designs and contemporary fabric styles have transformed them into stylish window treatments for modern living. There is a small gap between the top of the slats and the headrail, to allow for slat rotation, so they don’t provide a complete blackout. Open windows or doors on a windy day can cause the slats to be blown about, creating some noise and letting in some extra light. Generally, the benefits of vertical blinds outweigh any minor drawbacks.
How much are vertical blinds fitted?
The average cost of professional installation for vertical blinds in the UK is between £35 and £55. Alternatively, you can save yourself some money by purchasing made-to-measure vertical blinds online and installing them yourself.
Can I fit my own vertical blinds?
Absolutely! Even with only basic DIY experience, vertical blinds are easy to install. They come with easy-to-follow instructions, and the process usually takes under 30 minutes using just a tape measure, screwdriver, drill and some common sense.
How do I clean vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds are amongst the easiest to keep clean. A quick dusting with a duster or vacuum brush attachment as part of your regular cleaning routine is usually enough. For a deeper clean the slats can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Are vertical blinds the cheapest?
Vertical blinds are considered one of the most affordable window coverings, particularly for large windows, patio doors, bay windows and conservatories. They’re generally cheaper than other types of blinds such as wooden blinds and Roman blinds and comparable in price to faux wood blinds and Venetian blinds, but slightly more expensive than roller blinds. This will vary depending on factors like the quality of the fabric, components and headrail.
Do people still buy vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds have undergone a stylish transformation in recent years. The use of modern materials and contemporary headrail designs means they’re still very much on-trend. Their effectiveness at controlling light and privacy ensures they remain ever popular, whilst a wide choice of stylish and functional fabrics makes them ideal for modern living.
