Blind slats for angled windows or conservatories

vertical blind slats for angled or sloping windows

Sometimes a sun lounge conservatory will have an angled or raked head frame, sloping windows, slanted windows, triangle windows, call them what you will. Lean to type conservatories are typical of this. So how do you order replacement blind slats for these sloping or angled windows given that each one is a different length?

The solution is quite simple really. Most reputable blinds companies have automatic vertical blind slat or louvre cutting machinery that can be programmed to cut vertical blind slats for angled window frames. The only information that you need to provide when ordering vertical blind slats for angled window frames is:

  1. The number of blind slats required
  2. The measurement of the longest blind slat
  3. The measurement of the shortest blind slat

Simply provide this information to the blind slat supplier and they will be able to manufacture your new blind slats each to the correct measurement.

Often blind slat suppliers charge different prices depending on the length of the slat you are buying. For instance it may be one price for slats up to 48″ and another for slats longer than that. Normally you will pay for your slats based on the longest one.
