Why are Fabric Vertical Blinds Becoming Increasingly Popular?

If you have sliding-glass doors or expansive windows, you're probably considering vertical window blinds. They're made from many types of vinyl, aluminum, woods and other alternative wood materials, but here's why fabric vertical blinds are becoming a favored choice.

Sleek and Soft

Fabric vertical blinds (or cloth vertical blinds) combine the functionality of vertical blinds with the classic elegance of draperies. Compared to other materials commonly used for vertical blinds, fabrics have a greater amount of give and elasticity, so fabric blinds are less likely to lose their shape over time. And if you live in a climate where the vanes may be blown by the wind, fabrics are a much quieter option.

Let in Natural Light. Block UV Rays.

Fabric vertical blinds come in many varieties and opacities that beautifully filter natural light and provide UV protection. This is especially important for large windows and patio doors that bring in a lot of sun. Even when it’s overcast, damaging UV rays can deteriorate and fade your upholstery, hardwood floors, carpet and artwork.
