Horizontal
blind slats are often made of more solid materials such
as aluminium or even wood and so are able to withstand many
of the daily stresses and strains. In daily operation they’re
usually only subject to tilting of the slats to open or
close the blinds. Since the slats lie horizontally however
it does mean that they can be subject to a build up of dust
on the surface of the slats if they aren’t wiped /
cleaned regularly.
Vertical
blinds are particularly easy to cope with when it comes
to maintenance. Slats in vertical
blinds tend to be much wider so only slight movements
of the slats are needed in daily operation. This ultimately
means less wear and tear over time. Vertical
blind slats can easily be cleaned, and each individual
slat can easily be detached and re-attached making the cleaning
process even more straightforward. Vertical
blind slats also cost very little to replace should
any of the slats get damaged. Since the slats hang vertically
anyway, they are less likely to allow dust and dirt to settle
on them than horizontal blinds. When in normal operation
the slats on vertical
blinds don’t generally come into contact with
each other or get folded or creased in any way, thus allowing
them to look great for a long time.
