sloping vertical blind - open position

This Home Extension was a bit of a challenge to fit blinds to because of the design of the window. In the end we fitted three blinds to get the best coverage over the glass. The main rectangular part of the window has a standard rectangle vertical blind. The sloping section is made as a separate blind. You can see that each louvre is a different length. We cut these by hand as our vertical cutting jig can’t cope with all the different lengths.

The small end right hand section of the window was done separately due to the way the door was positioned in the glass frames. The fabric was an 89mm (3.5″) jacquard fabric called Chenille Cream and gives good shade from the sun but doesn’t make the room too dark.

All the blinds draw back and tilt although in daily use I am sure only the main blind is operated. The angle of this sloping vertical blind is quite small. For really steep angles we can supply special hangers that have a universal joint to accomodate the angle.
