The voile vertical blind
is a revolution in vertical blind design. Essentially, it’s a vertical blind made
with rigid PVC louvres, however, the special design of these louvres allows a voile
cover to be clipped on, creating the most visually stunning effects seen on a blind.
Allowing both privacy and light reflection, the soft look of this blind deceives
the eye into thinking that it’s not actually a blind at all!
·
Angle the louvres for daytime privacy and light transmission
·
Close the louvres completely for night time privacy.
·
Draw the blinds back to one (or both sides), to open the window
space.
·
Voile Vertical blinds provide excellent privacy to sensitive
rooms such as bedrooms and lounge areas.

Different interchangeable voiles are available which allow
the look to be changed without buying a complete new blind.

Excellent for larger windows
·
Voiles are available in cream, white, blue and green with
either a plain or texture finish.

White tracking only
·
89mm wide louvres

A straight pelmet to cover the top tracking is available.
It has an insert into which a piece of vertical blind fabric can be slid in to match
the colour of the voile. Any other colour can be inserted however, and customers
often choose a colour to compliment walls or other décor.

·
Top fix spring clips (supplied as standard)
o
This bracket takes one screw, and must be top fixed into the
ceiling or window recess. It is virtually invisible, and has a quick release mechanism
for simple removal of the tracking. It can be mounted with either a no.6 or no.8
screw.
·
Plastic face fixing bracket
o
100mm – This is the standard face fixing bracket. It can be
wall mounted, and will project the blind forward enough to allow the louvres rotate
freely.
o
115mm – This bracket is the same as the standard, but projects
15mm more, and is used mainly in situations where it is necessary to clear window
handles (i.e.- in conservatories) to allow the louvres to rotate.
·
Shallow fix face fix bracket – Available in two sizes, this
bracket will allow a fixing to a thin framework or area where there is limited space.
It is not used very often, other than for special applications.

o
The minimum size for a vertical blinds is 300mm, however,
it must be noted that at such a small size, there would only be three or four louvre
strips.
o
The maximum recommended size for a voile vertical blind is
3000mm wide.
·
Doors
o
Where vertical blinds are fitted to single doors which
open outwards, it must be noted that when stacked, the blind will take up approx
200mm(8”) of width in the opening. Often in these situations, we can supply an extra
piece of fabric for the customer to make a small tie-back to keep the louvres close
to the wall when stacked.
§
Where vertical blinds are fitted to single doors that open
inwards, the same applies; however, the door is likely to open onto the blind causing
damage to the fabric. It is therefore recommended that the blind is made to fit
outside the recess, so the fabric can stack back past the edge of the recess.
·
Unequal spacing of louvres
o
Depending on the width of the blind, it may be that the first
louvre overlaps the second louvre slightly more than the rest of the louvres on
the blind. This is not a fault, it is normal and should not cause concern.
·
Split
draw blinds
o
If a split drawing blind is required, it must be noted that
there will be a small gap at the centre point of the blind, where the two sets of
louvres meet. This is normal, and unavoidable. Therefore, where possible, a single
stack blind is recommended.
