Vertical blinds are available in a wide array of fabrics and styles. The tiltable slats and variety of opacities provide a high level of light and privacy control. Vertical blinds can be easily installed inside or outside the window or door frame and are a great fit for modern and contemporary spaces. You can use them to add visual height to a room with lower ceilings and sliding door blinds are an ideal option for rooms that seem too dark. Replacing traditional draperies with blinds lets in additional light without completely sacrificing your privacy. Your vertical blinds will also be very easy to clean. Because they hand vertically, they tend to collect less dust than horizontal blinds. Quickly clean them by fully closing and using a damp cloth to wipe each slat. Reverse the direction and repeat the process for sparkling clean window treatments. You can also use your vacuum’s brush attachment to clean them. Be sure to clean the track, too, as accumulated dust can cause your blinds to operate less smoothly.
