Raking Vertical Blinds

This page is for triangular windows – you will receive a vertical track that will fit into the space you give. While we try our best to get the slats to be straight at the bottom, they can be slightly up and down between drops. But not by much. We do require good exact measurements. Windows that are raking and not on a large angle will still be able to draw the fabric across. If the top track is on a large angle, you won’t be able to pull the fabric across.

Fabric - Vibe/Edge

We currently use the same fabric as our roller blinds for the verticals, this is so you can get a uniform look through out the house.
Our standard range is VIBE – Nice solid color that is a full blackout material.

The other range is “Edge” This is a thermally backed fabric to help with keeping heat in. This fabric does have a different color backing (Similar to the front)

Componentry

Our vertical blinds are all made from our local supplier.
The vertical headrail is a strong 30mm x 40mm aluminum extrusion.
The “Carriers” which are the parts inside the headrail that move the fabric are made from durable plastic and there are spacer links between.

The louver hangers which are inside the fabric that attach the fabric to the headrail are made from a strong PVC but these are designed to be weaker than the componentry in the head rails, so if some one falls on the vertical blind and it breaks, 99% of the time its the louver in the fabric that will snap which is a simple slide it out, and slide in a new one – nice simple fix.

We have heavy durable weights in the bottom of the fabric so all the slats sit nice and straight. We recommend getting the chains and weights if you have any airflow through that area as it will help them sit better. Chainless do move around more in a breeze.
