Vertical blinds

Ours are from Hillary's and I have been very pleased with them.

I had a dig and we used a company called blinds superstore and they were really good with an even better price. www.blinds-superstore.co.uk If you look for a cloth that has a SPC backing, this is solar protective coating and they use it for conservatories.

Hiya, whoever told you that the cloth isn't as good as it used to be is talking rubbish. If you have got the vertical rail up which you should have, just swap the slats around it's really easy and will save you lots of pennies.

Marieeliz. Have you though about plantation shutters? They are more expensive thatn verticals but much more solid as they're made of coated mdf. We've just had them fitted in our living room, thet're so versatile as they can be split top/bottom and open right out if you want that. We certainly wouldn't go back to verticals now!

Thank you for your replies. Do Hillary's do home fitting. Mine will angle but still do not keep the glare out even when fully closed.

I have some of vertical blinds that really need replacing as they have been in place for years.
I also recommend Hillarys.
My living room is a through room and facing the entrance of the close of houses we live in. Ours is a "goldfish bowl" so I do enjoy the privacy they give.

You can turn the blinds side ways to angle out the sun.

We live in a second floor flat, our lounge has windows, floor to ceiling along the whole of one wall. The sun shines in all morning, from sunrise to about midday. We have vertical blinds, bought online from Blinds2Go. We are 100% happy with them. Have a look at their website, lots to choose from.

I have bought Hilary's blinds for years and have always be satisfied with the quality and fitting - they last too long in a way!!

In our last house we had verticals blinds. They were particularly useful in the conservatory as it faced south. We bought them from Hillary's. I don't know what they are like now, but I believe you can buy slats on line from their sister company. My only advice would be to do research and look at reviews for the blinds you like.
