What are the types of window blinds?

Before contacting a blind specialist, it’s handy to know what type of blind you have to get a more accurate quote.

Here are some of the most common types of window blinds:

Horizontal slat blinds

Also known as Venetian blinds, the slats are bound on both sides and draw vertically, with gathering at the top when they are open.

Vertical slat blinds

Often used for French doors or full-length windows, vertical blinds are bound at the top and bottom and drawn left to right (or vice versa).

Roller blinds

One of the simplest and most affordable blinds to install, roller blinds hang down into the window space. They can also be easily cut to size, making them popular for smaller windows.

Pleated fabric blinds

Commonly known as Roman blinds, they are made from a single piece of fabric or material crafted into strong pleats that fold back on themselves. Often bespoke-made, they can be eye-wateringly expensive, so repairing them is always worthwhile.

Velux blinds

If your blinds are still within warranty, you'll want someone who specialises in Velux products. Alternatively, you can contact Velux directly, who offer replacement blind fabric options.

Electric blinds

Often used in hard-to-reach places such as skylights, motorised (electric) blinds are used for hands-free control. Issues can still occur such as getting stuck or getting disconnected from the remote control.
