While both use vertical panels, the similarities mostly end there. Vertical blinds are made from rigid PVC or fabric slats that rotate to adjust light, which can look quite utilitarian and are prone to warping or damage over time. Veri Shades use soft, flowing fabric panels that slide rather than rotate, giving a much softer, more contemporary look while still offering similar light and privacy control. They’re also generally quieter and less prone to the wear and tear that vertical blind slats experience.

For regular upkeep, a light vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a gentle dust-off is usually enough to keep the panels looking fresh, since the fabric is soil resistant. This is generally enough to manage dust and everyday grime between the occasional deeper cleans mentioned in the panel-removal process.

The number of panels depends on the width of your opening and how much stacking space you have at either side. Wider openings and larger doors generally need more panels to cover the space properly and allow smooth movement when walking through. Because this varies so much from home to home, it’s really something we work out during a measure and quote, taking into account your specific window or door dimensions.

Yes, they’re a popular choice for bedrooms, particularly in blockout fabric, since you can angle the panels to manage exactly how much morning light comes through without fully opening or closing the whole shade. It gives you a bit more nuance than a curtain, where it’s often more of an all-or-nothing choice.

Veri Shades are primarily designed as an indoor window furnishing rather than an outdoor or alfresco solution. For covered outdoor living areas, there are dedicated outdoor blind products better suited to handling weather exposure. If you’ve got an indoor-outdoor space with sliding doors, though, Veri Shades work well on the indoor side to manage light and privacy while you’ve still got that open, connected feel.
