“
Working with Custom Shades of London was a very easy experience. Vanessa Vitta
was professional and knowledgeable as to what I required, and answered all my questions.
She was great. Ben, the installer, also very professional, and did the installation on time
and also did a great job. I would highly recommend them both, as well as Custom Shades
of London.

We are super happy with our experience at Custom Shades. Vanessa, particularly, was excellent to work with. We really appreciated their willingness to bring product samples to our house, so we could be confident about our purchase. It's a big investment to redo blinds on an entire floor.

I have Hunter Douglas power honey comb blinds that I bought10 years ago. The store went out of business. When the clip and battery holder broke Custom Shades were so helpful. They gave me the clip and the batery holder to replace the old ones. Ben was super helpful as was Patty. Customer service was absolutely amazing. Strongly recommend the for shades and shutters

The best customer service in London!

The store is beautifully laid out, clean and organized. Patty and Sydney went completely out of their way to help me with a couple of used blinds I had.

The merchandise is first class! If you want to be tested with kindness, respect and interest, this is your store!

What Are Vertical Shades?

Vertical shades provide a crisp, streamlined aesthetic for wide openings, including patio doors and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Available in an array of fabrics, vinyl, or woven textures, they offer superb light management and privacy while gliding effortlessly along a precision track. These shades are highly practical, durable, and fully customizable with a vast selection of colors and finishes to align with your personal interior style. You can select cordless manual systems or motorized options for enhanced convenience and child safety. They are an excellent solution for modern homes and any space featuring wide glass expanses that require functional yet stylish coverage.

Discover Stylish Vertical Shades for Your Home

Vertical shades are an excellent choice for large windows, patio doors, and sliding glass doors, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Their design allows for smooth operation, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and expansive glass expanses.

Explore a variety of styles and materials to perfectly complement your home’s decor. From light-filtering options to room-darkening solutions, vertical shades provide versatile control over natural light and privacy.

Exploring Options for Your Vertical Shades

When selecting vertical shades, consider the material’s impact on light diffusion and privacy. Fabrics range from sheer to opaque, allowing you to achieve the desired ambiance and light control for any room. For spaces requiring enhanced insulation, explore options designed for energy efficiency, which can help reduce heating and cooling costs. Many vertical shades also offer features like UV protection to safeguard your furnishings from sun damage. For more on energy-saving window treatments, see what makes a blind energy efficient.

Beyond standard functionality, modern vertical shades can incorporate smart home technology. This allows for convenient operation via remote control or voice commands, integrating seamlessly with your existing smart home setup. For those with unique window shapes or architectural features, specialty vertical shades can provide custom solutions. Discover how different types of window treatments compare, such as the differences between Roman shades and other styles, to make an informed decision.

Maintaining the appearance of your vertical shades is straightforward. Regular dusting and occasional spot cleaning will keep them looking their best. For a deeper clean or any repairs, our service team can help. When considering new window coverings, think about the benefits of energy efficient window coverings and how they can contribute to your home’s comfort and cost savings. If you’re looking for specific brands, comparing options like roller blind brands can be helpful, though our focus here remains on the versatility of vertical shades for large openings and patio doors.
