The main concern that users of blinds have expressed time and again is about keeping the slat surfaces free from dust. You have to make arrangements to clean these surfaces daily and this is often found to be a disturbing aspect for many. Horizontal blinds are more susceptible to dust deposition. But using vertical ones can reduce this problem to a great extent as less amount of dust collects on the vertical vanes as compared to the horizontal slats. If this attracts you then there are even some more advantages of vertical blinds that make it a popular choice for homes and offices.

Many reasons for preference

Besides its aesthetic value that enhances the looks of the interior, vertical blinds can make windows superficially alter their sizes to the viewers. Small windows can be made to look larger and short height windows can be made to look taller than they actually are. Similarly, these kinds of window coverings can create an illusion so that the height of a room seems to be more than the actual height. These are much more adjustable than horizontal blinds as the vanes can be turned around 180 degrees thereby resulting in more opening and closing options. Privacy or transparency settings can be fine tuned in a better way with these window coverings that are great style statement also. Energy efficiency arising from better insulating properties is another advantage of these window coverings.

Decorative slats

There are many ways to make use of the decorative options that vertical blinds offer. This depends on the selection of the slat material that can be quite colorful and decorative to match with your tastes and style. If you prefer to use fabrics for the slats then you can either cover slats with the fabric of your choice or get slats made completely from fabric. Wooden of faux wood slats are also great style builders and are available in a variety of styles. The reason for using fabric or wood is its better insulation quality that helps to make homes more energy efficient and reduces energy bills.

Elegant looks

Vertical blinds are much more elegant looking than the horizontal variety. They appear to be much sleeker as the cords remain out of sight and the stringer holes are also concealed behind the head rail at the top. From the outside, these slats look very attractive and tasteful and it is easy to replace slats when they are damaged, thus making these a staple choice for stylish homes.

Virtual effects

Larger windows covered with vertical blinds give the enjoyment of complete and unobstructed viewing of the outside as the slats can be pulled away to one side of the window. Closing the slats completely has a much better impact on privacy than other types. Fixing these outside the window frame gives an enlarged effect and covering from floor to ceiling will have a much better impact in creating a superficial extension of height of the room.

It is easy to fit these blinds that hang perfectly balanced without any need of interim support that can obstruct the view and hamper the looks.
