Vertical Blinds Are Back in Style

Lighting control and custom solutions are well-suited to larger glass surfaces

Large glass surfaces, sliding doors, and tall windows have become increasingly prevalent in residential construction. This, in turn, is changing the demand for window treatments. In addition to light control and privacy, aesthetics, material selection, and integration into the interior are important. Vertical blinds once again meet these needs: the functional characteristics of the original product are combined with greater possibilities in design and finish.

The current generation of vertical blinds is available in a variety of materials, colors, and levels of transparency. Fabric, aluminum, and plastic slats allow you to find the right balance between light, privacy, and style for each room.

More control over the amount of light coming in

According to SUNWAY®, the renewed interest in vertical blinds is in line with the trend toward larger glass surfaces in homes. By tilting the slats, users can precisely control the balance between natural light, privacy, and the view outside.

The collection consists of various designs featuring fabric, aluminum, and plastic slats. Fabric versions, in particular, are gaining popularity because they combine the clean lines of a vertical blind with the softer look of fabric. Different levels of transparency make it possible to tailor the degree of light filtering and privacy to the space.

In addition, functional materials are available, including screen fabrics and stain-resistant fabrics. This means that, in addition to aesthetics, factors such as ease of maintenance and sun protection are also part of the product selection process.

Material and Appearance

The return of vertical blinds complements interiors that frequently feature clean lines and large window areas. The vertical lines emphasize the height of the windows and create a serene appearance for both the facade and the interior. The effect on the indoor climate also plays a role. By adjusting the angle of the slats, direct sunlight can be reduced without completely blocking out natural light.

Integration into smart home

In addition to material development, operation is also playing a greater role in window treatments. SUNWAY® vertical blinds are equipped with PowerView® automation, which allows for operation via remote control, smartphone, or voice assistant. Automatic operation offers particular advantages for tall or hard-to-reach windows. The window treatments remain easy to use and can be adjusted to suit the time of day and changing light conditions.
