You control the amount of privacy and light you need easily with vertical blinds. SP Screens Vertical Blinds are one of the most efficient and practical window coverings and they look great in any home. Available in a range of light filtering & block-out fabrics, our vertical blinds are locally made to complement your décor.
Our wand controled vertical blind system is child safe and extremely easy to use. Our vertical blinds are available in either 89mm or 127mm blades and can either be fixed at the bottom with a traditional link chain or use the more popular chainless weights system. Our vertical blinds are custom made locally and are a classic choice for any home or office.
The practicality of vertical blinds cannot be matched. Where other blinds such as roller blinds are essentially either up or down, vertical blinds can be tilted on the vertical axis to offer privacy whilst still allowing filtered light to enter the room.
Our vertical blinds can be manufactured as either 1. bottom weights and chain OR 2. bottom weight only (Chainless). Bottom weights are slotted into the bottom of the blind & not sewn in.
IMPORTANT - Australian law requires us to protect children from strangulation hazard and any internal window covering must be installed in such a way that a loose cord or chain cannot form a loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above the floor. It is for this reason, vertical blinds are manufactured using wand/chain operation and not cord/chain operation.
The type of bracket used will be determined by the mounting method. Unless otherwise stipulated, the bracket colour will be determined by the track colour chosen by the customer.
Vertical blind tracks are available in White, Birch, Black and Anodised (silver). Vertical blind tracks will be supplied with a mini pelmet in a fabric matching the vertical blinds.
Where New Generation or Echo slats are ordered, a fabric close to the slat colour will be supplied. Where “Express Vertical Blinds” are ordered, the track supplied will be a white cut-down track only. No track insert is available for Express Vertical Blinds.
Wand colours for vertical blinds are White, Birch, Silver and Black. Unless otherwise stipulated on the order the wand will be supplied to match the track colour chosen.
In accordance with child safety legislation, SP Screens supplies vertical blinds with wand operation only which negates the need for operation cords
Pelmets are optional and can be custom made to match your vertical blinds and give an elegant finish. 100mm universal pelmets can be chosen with or without a matching fabric insert.
The application of a silicone based lubricant to the tilt rod (wand) mechanism is recommended. Regular dusting of the fabric will ensure dust and grime doesn't build up.
For deeper cleaning, professional cleaners using ultrasonic cleaning methods are recommended as any other form of washing of the blinds is not advised. It is recommended that the vertical blind slats be rotated regularly to ensure that any natural fading of the blinds fabric occurs evenly.
Please Note: SP Screens uses the latest fabric cutting tools. Our blind fabrics are not hemmed at the side so care must be taken when operating blinds to avoid unnecessary rubbing which may cause fraying. With normal operation of chain operated blinds, other than cleaning there should be NO circumstance where anything should come in contact with the fabric of the blind. Should you notice any instance where your blinds do appear to be rubbing on anything, you must report this to SP Screens immediately so preventative action can be taken. Fraying or any other damage caused by the blind rubbing against anything is not covered by warranty.
SP Screens has a range of vertical blind suitable fabrics for you to choose from. With many textures, shades, and patterns to choose from light flitering & blockout fabric ranges. Blockout fabrics are an ideal choice for bedrooms while light-filtering fabrics add a level of elegance to living areas. Please note that vertical blinds are great for reducing the light and heat that enters your home through your windows and doors. The design of vertical blinds means that in bright light situations, a glow will be visible between the slats. If you require a total light block solution, please speak to one of our experts about how we can help you achieve this.
Choose a width or 89mm or 127mm for your vertical blinds. Generally, a narrow window reveal would be better serviced by the narrower 89mm slats and a wide opening such as a sliding door will be better suited to the 127mm wider slats.
You choose either inside mount or outside mount. When choosing your mounting & draw options, talk to one of our experts about the best soloution for your needs. SP Screens are able to use extension brackets, in order to mount the vertical blind just outside the window reveal for when the window reveal is very narrow.
