5 Reasons why Vertical Blinds are a great choice for your Gold Coast home

The Gold Coast is blessed with relatively warm weather all year round. The summers are hot and the winters are mild compared to many other areas in Australia. Vertical blinds are great for not only keeping the heat out of your home or office, but they are also effective when it comes to light control and privacy.

Window blinds themselves are very important, both for function and aesthetics. Vertical blinds not only look good, they also conserve energy by transforming light control to heat control which is great for the Gold Coast climate. Many verticals can be rotated to around 180 degrees, providing the right amount of light and sound into your home or office spaces.

Vertical blinds come in a great range of colours, styles and sizes and will easily cover both large windows and sliding doors, as well as smaller windows in your home.

You can choose from PVC or fabric, and now even in faux wood, for people who love both the look of wood and the style of vertical blinds.

Advantages of installing vertical blinds in your home or office

Vertical blinds provide a classic, neat and stylish look to any room in your home because of their straight, sleek lines. Other advantages include:

1. Effective light control

Too much light from the sun affects your living while you are at home. For instance, if you are watching a TV show, it will go against the screen or if you are reading a book, too much brightness makes you squint your eyes.

With perfectly designed vertical blinds, you can take away the glare, tone it down, and protect the eyes against strain. The sun’s glare may also cause headaches, so you feel more relaxed.

2. They are great for protect your home furnishings

You spend a lot of money on furnishing your home, so you want to protect them from the harsh rays of the Gold Coast sun. Vertical blinds are a very effective window covering that provides protection for your sofas, tables, wallpaper, and other furniture throughout your home. Some furnishings, if exposed to too much sunlight, will fade or even warp.

Investing in vertical blinds for your home can protect the furniture from damage, allowing them to be with you for a longer period of time, even for several years.

3. Cooldown your interiors in summer and add warmth in winter

We all love our summers on the Gold Coast, as we hit the beaches, get outdoors in the fresh air and enjoy the vitamin D from the sun. But, this season also has its disadvantages. First and foremost, our electricity bills tend to get higher during summer as we crank up the air-con. In fact, they increase by as much as 20 percent.

By decreasing the light coming into your room, vertical blinds can effectively reduce both the heat and the glare going through the slats, making your interiors look darker and enabling your surroundings to feel cooler and a whole lot more refreshing.

During the cooler winter months, vertical blinds also work to keep the heat from moving out of your home. They can help insulate your windows and keep your home warm. A considerable amount of heat from your home can be lost through your windows. In actual fact, according to the Australian Window Association, about 40 percent heat loss.

The right type of blind, professionally installed, can trap heat in your home during the Gold Coast winters. During the day, open up your blinds and let the sunshine in and at dusk, close your vertical blinds and help keep this heat inside, enabling you to use less electricity heating up your rooms in the evening. Your rooms will also feel cozier.

4. Affordable

One of the biggest advantages of installing vertical blinds in your home is the cost. Other window treatments, such as roller blinds, venetian blinds, roller shades and curtains can be considerably more expensive, especially when you are wanting to cover wider windows or sliding doors. Vertical blinds on the other hand are actually quite affordable, as well as being a stylish choice for your home or office.

5. Easy to maintain

Vertical blinds are one of the easiest blinds to maintain, because the direction of the vanes and easy movement of the panels and within the fitted tracks allows the blinds to be cleaned quite easily. Slats can be quickly removed from the tracks to be washed and dried, especially if your vertical blinds are made from fabric. Other materials, such as PVC, metal or faux wood can simply be wiped down with a damp cloth or dusted.
