Q:

Are Vertical Blinds Still In Style?


A:
When it comes to covering sliding patio doors from the kitchen or walkout basements and wide expansive windows, vertical blinds still remain as the best window treatment option until today.

Why are vertical blinds still in style?

The ultimate reason why vertical blinds remain in style, despite not selling just as much as it did in ‘80s and ‘90s, is because they are still the most affordable and functional window treatment of choice to control light and view at large doors and windows.

What is the best feature of vertical blinds?

One of the top features of vertical blinds is its price. There are so many window treatments available today but homeowners still prefer vertical blinds because they are very affordable. At Blinds Chalet, in particular, vertical blinds retail between 40$ to 90$.

Tip: However, when choosing vertical blinds, be careful of the really cheap ones. As the saying goes, you really get what you pay for. If you have the budget, choose the vertical blinds with more durable vanes and head rails so that they can last longer.

Do vertical blinds suffer cons I need to know about?

Vertical blinds can break easily at its head rail or vanes especially when you choose price over quality.

Some vertical blinds can produce a large stack at the side of the windows when stacked together which can block light and view.
