Why choose custom-made vertical blinds
Expert advice
To get the look and function you want, our consultants guide you through which type of blind, materials, and hanging styles you need, and take accurate measurements.
Crafted with care in New Zealand
Locally made in our factory, our blind makers pay attention to small details and combine the best of precise hand skills with technology to create quality custom-made blinds.
Professional installation
Once your blinds are made, we have a professional team trained to install them to ensure they fit, hang and operate just right. They will also show you best practice for using them.
Features & benefits
Unusual window shapes
Vertical blinds are good for angled/slanted windows. Because the slats/vanes hang from the top without a solid attachment at the bottom, they self-adjust to hang straight up and down no matter if they’re open, closed or drawn or pulled back.
Doors and side-hinged windows
Vertical blinds offer easier access to the handle of side-hinged windows. If you have a sliding door or French or bi-fold doors, verticals are a very good option for the least obstructed access because they stack neatly lengthways to the side/s.
Veri Shades®
A blend of a vertical blind and a curtain, our Premium Veri Shades® hang vertically with no weights or connecting chains and simply sway out of the way when you walk through them before settling back perfectly; whether they’re open or closed.
