How to Install Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are a modern and versatile solution for large window surfaces or as stylish room dividers. They offer effective privacy and sun protection while remaining fully adjustable to your needs. Whether mounted to the wall or ceiling, you can install them in just a few simple steps to add both function and style to your home. Here's what you need to know when selecting and installing vertical blinds.

Installing and Adjusting Vertical Blinds


Vertical blinds can be mounted either on the ceiling or the wall. The system consists of a rail with clips for the vertically hanging slats and an operating wand that lets you tilt or slide the slats sideways. The entire setup is designed to be child-safe.

The slats can rotate 90 degrees and glide smoothly from side to side. They also work wonderfully as room dividers. Before choosing vertical blinds, consider how your windows open, because if they tilt or swing inward, the slats could get in the way.

The standard slat height is 2.5 meters and can easily be shortened to the desired length. For particularly tall windows, we also offer slats in 5-meter length (available in white).

Choosing the Right Rail for Your Vertical Blinds


Rails and slats are sold separately. Start by selecting the correct rail width for your window. For a 100 cm wide rail, you’ll need 13 slats. Both the rail width and slat height can be individually adjusted.

The slats simply click into place on the track. No cords are needed, making the system especially safe for households with children. With the control wand, you can tilt the slats smoothly in either direction or slide them aside, depending on how much light you’d like to let in.
