For larger windows and patio doors, vertical blinds are a great option. Maxxmar offers a few types with the DecoraSafe operating controls. These products are a spin on the typical vertical blinds and are called vertical shades. The neat thing about these shades is that while they look like blinds, you can actually raise them like a roller shade so that you get a completely open view to the outdoors.
Consider the following types:
- Opera Verticals
- Vertical Shadings
- Opera Eleganza
Opera Verticals
These shades come in a variety of colours, textures and opacities. The transparent and opaque fabric sections of the shade repeat by passing behind each other to provide the following settings: light filtering, translucent, room darkening or semi-room darkening.
Vertical Shadings
Like the Opera Vertical Shadings above, these vertical shadings come in a variety of colours, textures and opacities. The 100 % polyester fabric offers maximum control of the sun’s glare and helps protect from UV rays while still providing the following settings: light filtering, semi-room darkening, room darkening and open position.
Or – get something that looks like a blend between sheers and blinds!
Opera Eleganza
These blinds are more like sheers and are great if you want soft, neutral colours. These vertical sheers are not exactly blinds, but they can be controlled with a wand – another alternative to those potentially hazardous cords.
