Blinds like these come in several colours and fabrics, too, meaning they’ll always suit your needs. At A1, we put you in full control of the design of your vertical blinds.

Blinds like these stand out because of their design. Vertical blinds operate on a top rail and have several vertical slats. Because of this, you can either pull the blinds across fully or adjust the slats individually, giving you total control of your home’s lighting. You can even achieve a blackout effect with vertical blinds, as you’ll get made-to-measure designs that can cover the full aperture of windows and doors.

By choosing A1 Blinds, you can pick the ideal vertical blinds for your Durham City home. We make all of our blinds bespoke, meaning you can personalise them around your home’s style or your commercial needs. And, with our team, you’ll get precise measurements and the option of free virtual consultations to create your design. Contact us today to learn more about installing vertical blinds in Durham City with us!

Benefits of Vertical Blinds

Beloved Style

Vertical blinds are loved all over Durham City and the UK with good reason. Blinds like these are timeless, with sleek and stylish slats that suit a range of window and door applications seamlessly. Whether you’d like blinds that are understated or ones that pop out, these blinds are fully customisable. As a result, these versatile vertical blinds are sure to be capable of meeting your requirements.

Customisable Design

One of the benefits of vertical blinds is that they can be personalised in Durham City in hundreds of ways. At A1, we put all of those options at your fingertips, helping you craft unique blinds for your home or commercial project. We can help by offering durable, hard-wearing fabric options and a wide variety of stylish colours and finishes. Our blinds don’t fold or crease for decades either.

Flexible Control

Vertical blinds are particularly useful for controlling the light in your Durham City living space. You can adjust your blinds accurately by tilting each slat in the design, meaning you can decide how much light enters your home and at what point. Our vertical blinds can also achieve a blackout effect when you pull them across or tilt them fully! You can take control of your home’s lighting today!

Uses for Vertical Blinds

One of the benefits of vertical blinds is actually several benefits rolled into one. It’s the number of ways that you can use vertical blinds in Durham City that makes this design so well-loved. For example, our blinds work well for sliding and bifold doors in Durham City, as they can cover large apertures. New blinds reduce glare, improve insulation and control the light throughout your home.

Another benefit of vertical blinds is that they could stop people seeing too much of your Durham City home. With some windows and doors, you can sometimes feel exposed, particularly if they’re in sensitive areas like home offices or bathrooms. Vertical blinds, though, provide privacy when you need it. You can fully close our blinds and tilt each slat to make sure nobody can see you in private.

With A1, you can also make sure your new vertical blinds suit any uses you plan for them perfectly. We offer a wide range of customisable options to put you in control of how your new vertical blinds will look in Durham City. With our wide range of fabrics and colours, you’ll have more choice for your home or commercial project. Our vertical blinds work well for conservatories and extensions in Durham City, too!

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.

Perfect Fit® Shutter Lite – The Smarter Way to Add Style to Your Windows

Perfect Fit® Shutter Lite – The Smarter Way to Add Style to Your Windows

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

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.
