Flame retardant fabrics have a flame-retardant finish applied to the fabric when manufactured. In addition, flame retardant fabrics are blackout and waterproof. Ideal for spaces in which fire safety is key.
Solar control fabrics will reflect more sunlight than regular fabrics. Some of these fabrics have a silver foil backing. A welcome addition for any rooms that get a lot of heat. A popular choice for conservatories and sunrooms.
Moisture Resistant Fabrics were created with kitchens and bathrooms in mind. The fabrics maintain colour and finish even in moist conditions. Moisture resistant vertical blinds are easy to keep clean.

Mixing different Vertical slats
Create a unique combination for your window by mixing different
vertical replacement slats.
Order two or three different fabric slats, then mix and match them as you like. We recommend sticking to the same fabric texture to give your blind a professional edge. This is also a fun way to add a pop of colour into your current Vertical blind - Just replace every other slat, and order replacement slats for that number! Easy!
