Vertical Blinds - Vertical Shades
How we measure
A characteristic of vertical blinds is that they are ideal for applications with great height.
When the window has a recess:
- We measure the entire width inside the recess and subtract a small gap from each side of 0.5-1cm, or more if necessary (e.g., hole for cables).
- We measure the entire height inside the recess and subtract from the bottom side (practically as much gap as desired), but usually this ranges from 2-3cm, so the blinds or the chain that connects them don’t touch the bottom.
These are the final dimensions required for the construction of the vertical blinds.
For a simple window:
- For the width of the window, we add 5-10cm on each side to always have sufficient overlap.
- For the height of the window, we add 5-10cm at the top to screw in the blind supports. WARNING: Make sure that at the desired height there are no embedded cables.
- At the bottom of the window – practically – we add as much as we want. Usually, this ranges from 5-10cm. Of course, if there is an obstacle (e.g., radiator), it must be taken into consideration.
If you have a window that opens inward and you don’t want the blinds to obstruct the window opening when gathered to one side, calculate more additional width on that side for the blinds to gather on the outside edge of the window.
For balcony doors, the same applies as for simple windows, with one difference:
From the total height, meaning the height of the balcony door plus 10-15cm at the top for the supports, subtract 2-3cm from the bottom so that the blinds do not touch the floor.
Direction of blinds:
- As a rule, the blinds gather on the opposite side to the window handle.
- The control is placed on the same side.
Notes:
- The shade you see on your screen may have some deviation from the fabric color due to different color rendering (and settings) of each screen.
- Free blind sample available to be sure about your choice.
- They offer controlled flow of light into the space.
- Made from synthetic polyester material with partial shading.
- The mechanism and accessories are available in white color.
Vertical blinds are an essential element of interior decoration that not only control natural light but also contribute to the overall aesthetics of a space.
