Custom Vertical Blinds Georgetown – Free Installation

They are the standard answer up there. Those windows run tall, the top is out of reach, and a vertical track hangs from the ceiling or a bracket above the opening rather than needing depth in the jamb. Vanes turn to cut low sun off the street without taking the room dark, which suits a space with screens in it. Fabric vanes also take some of the hardness out of a bare office.

Honestly, not well. A vertical track carries real weight and every no-damage bracket on the market is rated for a light curtain, so tension fittings between two jambs let go within months and take paint with them when they do. Four small screws into the casing above a door do less harm than a failed adhesive bracket. Ask the landlord, offer to fill them on the way out, and get the answer in writing.

A clatter, and there is no getting away from it with PVC. The vanes knock against each other as they traverse and the sound carries in a room with hard floors. Fabric vanes are noticeably quieter because the material has some give. If a set is louder than it should be, the usual cause is the vanes being dragged across while they are still turned rather than closed flat first.

Yes, and the lintel is usually the best fixing in the building. We drill it and use a self tapping screw rated for steel rather than trying to find a stud that does not exist. Into brick we go for the mortar joint instead of the face, which holds well and is repairable later. What we need to know first is whether there is anything running behind that wall, because a lintel gives no warning.
