Vertical vs. Horizontal Blinds
Vertical and
horizontal blinds can be used as stand-alone window
coverings or accented with drapes, curtains or valances. Price, aesthetics and
window size are often considered when decorators choose between vertical and
horizontal blinds. Does this Spark an idea?
Function
·
Generally, blinds
are used to adjust the amount of sunlight that comes into a room and to adjust
the visibility presented from outdoors. Horizontal blinds can be turned upward,
downward or at a 90-degree horizontal angle until the desired amount of light
and visibility is reached. Vertical blinds can be turned left, right or at a
90-degree vertical angle to control the amount of light and visibility.
Effects
·
Vertical blinds
work best on windows that face east or west, while horizontal blinds work best
on north- or south-facing windows, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Additionally, vertical blinds are more commonly used on sliding glass doors than horizontal blinds.
Warning
·
The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission recommends that cords on vertical and horizontal
blinds remain out of the reach of children and pets.
In a 2002 study, the CPSC found that 60 percent of window dressing
strangulation cases occurred with horizontal blinds and 40 percent occurred
with vertical blinds.
