Custom Vertical Blinds Downtown Hamilton – Free Installation

The track needs screws, so there will be holes. What you can do is mount the track on the wall above the window instead of inside the frame, which puts four or five small holes into drywall that fill in an afternoon rather than into the frame itself. The vanes and the track come off the brackets when you move, and the same track can be rehung elsewhere if the next opening is close in width.

Into the concrete, with the right anchor. A vertical track is light and the load spreads across several fixings, so a sleeve anchor into the slab holds it once the holes are in. Strength is not the hard part. Dust is, so we drill with a vacuum running on the bit. Where drilling the slab is out of the question entirely, the track can go onto the window frame if the frame is deep enough.

In a loft it usually suits fine, and plenty of owners leave the track bare on purpose next to exposed brick and ductwork. If you want it hidden, a fabric wrapped or colour matched valance clips over the front of the track and squares the top off. Ceiling mounting helps too, since the track then reads as part of the ceiling line rather than hardware stuck to a wall.

On glass that gets handled every day, usually, because the wear is spread out. A vertical has one carrier per vane and any single carrier can be changed, while a roller runs everything through one clutch and one tube. The roller has fewer parts to fail in the first place, which is the honest other side of it. On a wide blind that moves constantly, we would sooner swap the odd carrier than watch a three metre roller drag out of level.
