The History of Vertical Blinds

We specialize in selling and installing the best vertical blinds.

Vertical blinds are a popular type of window covering that feature a series of vertical slats that can be adjusted to control the amount of light that enters a room. The history of vertical blinds dates back to the 1960s, when they were first introduced as an innovative alternative to traditional horizontal blinds. The earliest version of vertical blinds was invented by Edward and Frederick Bopp, two brothers from Kansas City, Missouri. They designed a series of vertical plastic slats that could be rotated to allow light in or block it out. The slats were attached to a track that could be opened or closed, allowing for easy operation.

Vertical blinds gained popularity in the 1970s as a sleek and modern window covering option. The design was particularly well-suited for large windows and sliding glass doors, as the vertical orientation of the slats allowed for easy operation and a streamlined appearance. Over the years, the materials used to make vertical blinds have evolved. Early versions were typically made from plastic or vinyl, but today they can be found in a range of materials including fabric, wood, and aluminum. They are also available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, making them a versatile option for any home decor style.

Today, vertical blinds continue to be a popular choice for window coverings, particularly in commercial settings. They offer excellent light control, are easy to clean and maintain, and provide a stylish and modern look that can enhance any room. You can see from our pictures and videos we have sold and installed some fantastic vertical blinds.
