Vertical Blinds
Our vertical blinds are less likely to collect dust because they stand vertically. Since they draw to the side rather than lifting and lowering, they are easier and faster to operate. They operate best on patio doors and sliding windows that slide from side to side.
These are usually described as 'Japanese Vertical blinds' and are available in flat plastic (PVC), fabric, embossed PVC, faux wood materials, metal, wood, and also S-curved slats. A more modern modification is to offer them with wood trim at the top and bottom- sometimes midway as well, because they are often coordinated with Japanese style Shoji blinds. Stationary vertical blinds are hung in the doorways of some homes and businesses which generally leave the door open.
These vertical blinds are made of thick plastic. In the cold rooms of food businesses, this slows the heat leakage into the cold room. In warmer climates, vertical blinds discourage flies and some other insects from entering the building.
