Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds remain a popular choice for their practicality, versatility, and affordability. Although we don’t get much call for them very often, and they might not be everyone’s cup of tea, they can serve a purpose and look nice in certain applications – especially if you’re using some high quality fabrics. They’re mainly chosen for patio doors or widespan windows where fabric gathering from a curtain or sheer is not desired.
At Aurora, we use high-quality fabrics from Shaw, Four Families, and Textiles, as well as having the ability to source fabrics from well-known European workrooms like Louvolite, Coulisse and others. Aurora choose premium componentry for our locally made Vertical Blinds from the likes of SIlent Gliss, JAI, Pacific Wholesale or Coulisse – depending on the technical requirements for your project.
While vertical window blinds are evolving in style, they are a cost-effective solution for landlords and an ideal choice for matching existing installations in homes.

Features of our Vertical Blinds
Discover the standout features of our products, including premium materials, innovative designs, and advanced functionality. Each feature is carefully selected to ensure exceptional quality, style, and performance in every detail.
Customisable Weights
Chained weighted slats: The traditional style, with small beaded chains in between each slat at the bottom of the blind.
Chainless weighted vertical slats: The most popular and our recommended finish, which allow for a heavy duty slat weight, but no sewing lines.
Chainless sewn-in weights: Similar to chainless weighted, but with the individual weight sewn into the base.
Flexible Control Options
Wand Control: This is Aurora Designs recommended option. A twist of the wand can turn the slats from opening/closed position.
Cord Control: Traditional corded look. There are a few downsides to having cords, however, it would be our recommendation to include cords should you have reach/access issues.
Motorisation: Seamless integration into smart home systems for effortless operation.
