Cost to Install Vertical Blinds in Melbourne
A staple in the world of window furnishings, Vertical Blinds for windows are an option that most people simply cannot pass up for their home. This is particularly evident in the recent high demand for Vertical Blinds in Melbourne. They are extremely practical, easy to operate, and attractive. Also known as Vertical Drapes, Vertical Blinds offer a cost-effective solution for covering sliding doors and windows. They provide a good amount of control over the privacy and light balance that all blinds have the responsibility of maintaining, and they are designed to minimise the amount of dust they collect — especially in contrast to venetian blinds, which collect a fair amount of dust on the slats. If you have been looking to get your hands on vertical blinds, there are a few elements that will determine their item cost, and install cost.

The first element is the fabric type. Vertical blinds are available in translucent, transparent, and blockout material. Translucent fabric offers a good middle ground between transparent and blockout material, as it offers a some light during the day, while preventing view-through from the outside. Transparent fabric, on the other hand, offers a high level of heat reduction, without compromising on daytime privacy. While it offers less privacy than translucent and blockout fabrics, it provides great unobstructed daytime views. Blockout blinds are designed to offer more darkness and full privacy in your space.
The next element is slat width. Common slat width sizes are 127mm, 100mm, 89mm, and 63mm. After deciding on this, you would be selecting from a finish type. The usual finish types are chainless weights on the bottom of the slats, a plastic or metal chain on the bottom of the slats, and a plastic or metal tilt chain. You could then decide whether you would want to operate the vertical blinds with a wand, or a cord and chain.
When it comes to the install, you can quite easily do it yourself if you are handy and know your way around some basic tools. This would be the most cost effective option. If you’re not comfortable with doing it yourself, however, it is worth contacting the experts and getting a precise quote.
