Vertical vs. Horizontal Blinds
I need to buy blinds for my living room. I have never done it so I am
looking for an advice. I live in an apartment building in New York. The window frame is made of metal so the blinds will have to be mounted to the ceiling. Horizontally, the window stretches across the whole width of the room (except for a few inches on both sides to account for the metal frame). - Left half has a window sill, there's room heater/air continioner under the sill - Right half has a sliding glass balcony door and the ajacent tall window, so that half stretches from floor to ceiling vertically I have an option of installing 2 vertical blinds where the left blind will be shorter (where the still/heater is) and the right blind that would be larger and would cover the sliding balcony door and the adjacent window. Or, I can install 2 horizontal blinds. What would be the best choice for my situation? Many thanks in advance. |

wrote in message oups.com... - Left half has a window sill, there's room heater/air continioner under the sill I think it is a matter of which look you like better. Having said that, the one problem I see with vertical blinds in your situation is the heater/ac unit under the window. I have vertical blinds and the floor vents for my heating system are under the windows, and every time the heat or a/c runs, the vertical blinds move back and forth and make sounds from the air currents. Its just something to think about that you might not have considered. |

I think you'll want vertical blinds, otherwise every time you want to
use the sliding door, you'd have to hoist the horizontal blinds all the way up. I have horizontals on all the windows, but verticals on the sliding door. |
