Are Fabric Vertical Blinds Good?

Fabric vertical blinds are more than a good way to enhance your home. With the right design, these blinds can give you the flexibility you need to enjoy your home how you want to. Fabric vertical blinds are one of the UK’s most popular designs, with a sleek and stylish look. Operating on a top rail with several vertical slats, you can move the whole design or adjust each slat to control the light in your home precisely.

Fabric vertical blinds are one of the best ways to add these designs to your home. With a durable, hard-wearing fabric, your blinds won’t fade or wear down in sunlight. Not only that, the fabric won’t tear or fray for years to come, and vertical blinds shouldn’t fold or crease for decades either. As a result, you can design fabric vertical blinds in confidence, knowing their colours will last.

At Easyfit Blinds, you can order our fabric vertical blinds anywhere in the UK. Manufactured by expert craftspeople at our high-quality base in the North East, our blinds are market-leading designs. Our fabric vertical blinds will last for years to come, and they’ll improve insulation, reduce glare and provide privacy for your home. And, with free UK delivery, you can get them with ease anywhere in the country.

Benefits of Fabric Vertical Blinds

Versatile Fabric Vertical Blinds

One of the benefits of fabric vertical blinds is that they are versatile for your home. Because they can come in large sizes, you can install them for large glazed areas, including sliding and bifold doors. Your new blinds will be made-to-measure for your home, meaning they’ll cover the whole aperture of your window or door. As a result, you could achieve a blackout effect in any room of your home.

Fabric vertical blinds can also work well throughout the year. When the weather turns cold, fabric vertical blinds provide an extra layer of insulation for your home, making it harder for cold air to make your living space uncomfortable. However, during hot weather, your blinds will be able to reflect heat and reduce glare. Because of this, fabric vertical blinds work well for almost any purpose.

Customisable Fabric Vertical Blinds

Fabric vertical blinds are durable and hard-wearing. Because of this, the colour of the fabric won’t fade, lose its glow or shine for decades to come. So, when you pick out your new blinds, you won’t have to make a decision based on how your blinds will look in a few years. Instead, you can invest in vertical blinds in a bold colour or pattern that’ll keep looking its best as long as you have them.

At Easyfit, we allow you to fully customise your new fabric vertical blinds around your living space. You can pick the perfect colours to complement your home and the perfect patterns to stand out on the street. And, because our fabric vertical blinds won’t fold or crease for decades, you can be sure your new blinds will stand the test of time as well.

Fabric Vertical Blinds Lighting Control

When you use your home, fabric vertical blinds will help you do it in comfort. It’s because the design of these blinds allows you to control the light that enters your living space precisely. While you can pull the blinds across to reveal the full aperture of your window or door, you can adjust each slat as well. Because of this, you only allow the light you want into your home.

You’ll be able to achieve almost any effect with fabric vertical blinds. If you want privacy, you can shut them fully to achieve a blackout effect. However, if you only want to reduce the light slightly or even increase it, you’ll have the ability to do it. And, at Easyfit, you can get motorised fabric blinds that do this at the touch of a button, making it easier than ever to make your living space comfortable.

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
