Vertical blinds range from textured styles to bamboo panel alternatives

For large windows or glass sliding doors, vertical blinds are an affordable and attractive window treatment that manages light well and creates privacy when needed.

Blinds Chalet, which currently has vertical blinds on sale for 30 percent off, includes dust cover valances with vertical blinds that come in a large seleection of colors and sizes. Customers can choose from flat, smooth verticals or a decorative models - textured, top-of-the-line premier blinds or the distinctive S-curve style.

"S-curve vertical blinds offer a curved vane for tighter closure and added privacy," states the company's website. "Instead of a traditional flat or C-shape curved vertical vane, the S-curve has a contour or curved vane in the shape of an S."

There is also a range of vertical blinds "alternatives" offered by Blinds Chalet to fit a diversity of contemporary and traditional home styles. Bamboo sliding panels and screen panel track blinds in both light-filtering and black-out fabrics are among these choices.

For instance, the bamboo sliding panels are made from eco-friendly natural bamboo with a matching valance to hide the headrail and edge binding to protect the edges. Liners can be added for additional privacy and light control and an optional wand control is available as a child safety measure.
