The popularity of PVC vertical blinds began when the need to cover wide and large expanses came about. For decades, these vertical blinds dominated the window treatment market and were installed within every window opening in most houses, apartments, condos and townhomes. It was not until the past decade that the popularity of vertical blinds had started to make its digression. Today’s market offers plenty of modern, exciting, and convenient window treatment solutions that often play a role in the replacement of vertical blinds within homes throughout the country.
According to our recent sales report, the two most common window treatment products selected as vertical blind replacements are roller/solar shades and zebra shades. These two products offer a much more sleek, light, and easy-to-operate solution, which experiences substantially less issues down the road. Vertical blinds are outdated and tend to be frail, heavy, and messy.
