Optional Upgrades
Vertical blinds are also available with a range of upgrade options to further customize and get the perfect window treatment for your room.
- Slats: Slat options on vertical blinds are available in smooth, textured, or S-shaped. Smooth slats offer more simple style, while textures can add a level of visual interest. S-shaped slats are a great choice to provide more light blockage.
- Stack Placement: You can choose which side your vertical blinds stack on when opened: left, right, or both. Considering which side to stack is important for how they may partially obstruct your view.
Other Considerations
While vertical blinds are a great option for window coverings, they may not be the perfect option for everyone or for every room. A few things to consider:
- Vertical blinds have a track system with wide slats, which require more mounting depth; be sure to check depth requirements if you are planning an inside mount.
- Vertical blinds offer some light blocking functionality and privacy but not as complete as other options.
- Vertical blinds are proportioned for large windows or doors and can look strange on smaller ones. If covering smaller windows in the same room, consider an alternative that still compliments the larger window blinds.
