In this blog entry, the professional Los Angeles blinds installation service team here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will detail the top reasons that vertical blinds are the ideal window treatment for large windows.
What exactly are vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds are window treatments that are made up of vertical slats of fabric, vinyl, or aluminium, and can be rotated to control light as well as drawn horizontally so you can fully view out your window. They are ideal for large windows and sliding glass doors. Vertical blinds today are available in a wide range of textures, materials, and patterns. Vertical blinds provide privacy and glare reduction, while enhancing the decor of your home.
Vertical blinds are less prone to accumulating dust than horizontal blinds, and are easier to operate across wide windows. We recommend installing motorized vertical blinds that can be controlled with remotes or smartphones.

Should I choose fabric vertical blinds or vinyl vertical blinds?
Choose vinyl vertical blinds when:
- You’re looking for durable and water resistant blinds
- If you’re installing blinds in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or other humid rooms
- If you want to prioritize easy maintenance and cleaning
- If you’re working with a very high traffic area
Choose fabric vertical blinds when:

- You prefer a softer and more relaxed ambience
What’s the main differences between horizontal and vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds are ideal for large windows and sliding glass doors. They have tall slats that stack to the side and rotate, providing a fully unobstructed view when open. They are very easy to maintain, especially when they are made of vinyl, which can be wiped clean in seconds and is highly dust resistant.Horizontal blinds come in sizes more ideal for traditionally sized windows. They have more customization options for tilt control, allowing you to precisely adjust how much light enters your area. However, they have horizontal slats that can collect more dust than vertical slats, and will require more regular upkeep.
