Vertical Blinds Forest Hall

 At A1 Blinds, we use our decades of experience in the industry to help Forest Hall customers improve the look and performance of their space. Vertical blinds are one of the most popular installations for commercial and residential projects in your local area, and for good reason.

 Vertical blinds operate from a top rail and feature several vertical slats. You can either push the entire system to one side to flood a space with light, or you can tilt the system completely shut to enhance the privacy of a home. They are different from most other blind styles as they open from side to side rather than top to bottom.

Benefits of Vertical Blinds

Sleek Design

Vertical blinds are as visually pleasing as they are high-performing. They have a sleek and timeless design that never goes out of fashion. Their neat design makes them understated, and unlike curtains, they won’t billow and add weight to a window or door. These blinds look equally attractive in an office setting as they do at home.

While vertical blinds enhance the performance of windows and doors, they can also be standout features. You can design your blinds to be bespoke to your home, meaning they could blend in seamlessly with your existing interior design or create a striking focal point. 

Long Lasting Design

We hand over design control to Forest Hall customers to ensure their new vertical blind installation is totally bespoke. We offer a range of hard-wearing and attractive fabrics for you to choose from. These materials are premium quality, which means they won’t fade or discolour. Because these designs won’t fold or crease, they require less upkeep than other blind designs on the market.

Flexible Control

One of the key benefits of vertical blinds is how they allow Forest Hall customers to control how bright their space is. You can precisely control how bright a space is, minimising glare from the sun and minimising stuffiness.

Vertical blinds can also be used as blackout blinds in a bedroom. If you are struggling to enjoy a good night’s sleep because of light pollution, roll these blinds down and enjoy a pitch-black bedroom.

You can also control how private your home or workspace is. Move the slats to improve privacy in a bedroom, bathroom, or lounge. These vertical blinds are popular with homeowners whose homes are overlooked by neighbours or who live near a public pathway.

Versatile Sizes

Vertical blinds are a versatile installation that can be adapted to a range of rooms, profile sizes, and personal preferences. We craft our blinds in house, so we can make them in a range of sizes. These vertical blinds are available for larger areas of glazing, including patio doors and bifold doors. Control how bright a room is, no matter how big or small the window or door.

These blinds are often found in conservatories and orangeries because they can help minimise glare and stuffiness, plus they can cover expansive panes of glazing.

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.
