What Are Custom Vertical Blinds (And Why Use Them)

Vertical blinds are ideal for large glass openings. Whether you have wide or high windows or sliding glass doors, these window treatments work efficiently and effectively. They offer some protection from UV light and glare, while providing privacy and a view.

At Geneva’s Interiors, we can help you explore our top recommendations for custom vertical blinds from the top industry leader, Hunter Douglas, as well as their many benefits.

So, What Are Custom Vertical Blinds?

Custom vertical blinds use slats that hang from the top of your window or door. They glide across the expanse of your expansive glass, with panels or slats you can twist to see clearly between them or adjust as you see fit.

You decide whether you want the slats to go on the left or right sides, or split down the middle, which isn’t usually an option for styles from big-box stores.

What Are the Benefits of Custom Vertical Blinds in Windows?

If you have larger windows and sliding glass doors, you may experience several advantages when you invest in custom vertical blinds, such as:

Improving sound absorption: Vertical blinds in your windows help absorb sound, keeping your home quieter, which is helpful when the baby takes an afternoon nap or when you need to focus on a task.
Increasing light and privacy control: Twist the slats to block glare and reduce direct sunlight while still enjoying a natural glow.
Boosting energy efficiency: Custom vertical blinds from Hunter Douglas help reduce heat gain and heat loss, keeping your home at a comfortable temperature.
Adding drama: When your vertical blinds are open, they frame the window, making it appear taller and more dramatic in your interior design.
