Our decorative but practical Louvolite vertical blinds provide an easily-fitted and efficient method of light control. A very wide range of attractive fabrics, many of them flame retardant, make these blinds a sensible choice for projects large and small.

• Fixing brackets: wide selection of brackets with varying projections to suit every installation.
• Headrail: a slim, elegant headrail with a fluted or plain finish in white, silver or brown. Alternatively, slotted to accept louvre fabric insert.
• Mechanism: the louvre carriers have fixed or self aligning gears which turn the louvres through a full 185° to ensure a good closure.
• Colour co-ordination: all normally visible components including brackets, headrails, end cap sets and carrier trucks are available in matching white, grey or brown finishes.
  

Louvres
Specifically woven for vertical blinds, available in 89mm or 127mm as standard; other widths are available on request. In some cases vertical blind fabrics can be supplied in wider widths for the manufacture of matching roller blinds.

The slim, elegant headrail, which can be ribbed or plain, is 29.25mm wide and 27.75mm deep. Tracks are supplied up to 5m wide. When runs of greater widths are required, tracks can be made which, when butted together, allow the end louvre from one blind to overlap the louvres on the other blind. A neat connecting piece conceals the join between the tracks. Overall, the appearance is of one continuous blind. Alternatively tracks can be joined by flexible joints

They can also be made to bunch in the centre of the blind (centre bunch). Blinds can be made with the tops or the bottoms pitched at an angle to the horizontal or the bottom can be shaped to fit around obstructions such as radiators. Blinds can also be supplied with tracks at the top and bottom for vertical, angled or horizontal installations.

Fabric
All the fabrics have been designed specially for vertical louvre blinds. An important factor today is flame retardancy: certificates of compliance with most of the standards which apply to each material are available on request.

Another important factor in the choice of fabrics for modern buildings with large areas of glass is that solar gain. Some of the fabrics in the range have a reflectance of 70% or more. At the end of the scale completely opaque fabrics with zero light transmittance are also available.

Fixing
The vertical blinds are supplied with fixing brackets as standard. The wide range of brackets includes face, top and side fixing versions.
