Window Blinds: Top 3 Ideal Types Of Blinds For Tall Windows.

When it comes to ideal solutions for tall windows, things aren’t the same as it is for small ones. Tall windows can be a big statement of class and also can be a big mess.

Based on my observations, window blinds and curtains are the ideal ways to cover a big size elegantly. Big size windows mean big coverings which ultimately means big investments, especially when choosing curtains.   

And if we compare both Window Blinds and curtains not just from the price point of view, but overall. Surely, window blinds have an edge there. As they are much more functional than curtains.

Tall windows demand much more dynamic functionality. Which curtains are unable to provide as window blinds do. Window blinds are great for tall windows, but not every type.

So, here we list some of our top picks for the ideal types of blinds for tall windows.

Vertical Blinds

They deserve to be a top pick. They literally have two sides. One is the one that makes them blinds and there is also something for the ones who love the curtains.

They have slats just like most of the window blinds have. The design and position are changed. They have vertical slats instead of horizontal ones. Keep in mind, that the change in slats’ length and position, brings different outcomes.

Being vertically designed makes them manage light and privacy differently. Their slats do have the same functionality as other window blind slats. The tilting slats, tilt to open and close.

The vertical design slats look very sleek on tall windows and here they can even outclass major window blinds like wood blinds and Venetian blinds.

The reason is very unique here. Their vertical design aligns impressively with the tall length of the window. They cover the windows sharply and elegantly.

Another cool kind of the plus point of vertical blinds is that they are waterproof. Made out of synthetic materials like PVC and vinyl, which surely are backed with great strength.

So, not just vertical blinds’ design classily align with the tall windows but also their material align with durability to let you have a last longing window blind. Also, their price tag even aligns with your tight budget in case you have one.

Roller Blinds

Here comes the top gun of our list. Hopefully, you know about that. If not then stick with us. Indeed, roller blinds are entirely different from the rest of their window blinds family.

Window blinds are known for functionality which is the cause of their tilting slats, roller blinds didn’t have those slats. So, obviously, their functionality is not going to be that good.

But it is unique and mature enough to handle the privacy of someone with those tall windows. One thing is also well-contributed in this, that makes them stand in front of other high functional blinds.

Being a single fabric panel-based window blind is something that allows them not just to be unique but also quite effective in managing privacy, especially the light.

The single panel can roll up and down around a tube at the top, which is operated by a cord. They are just simple like that. Now, the kinds of fabric options they have, makes them well hot among people who love the versatility.

There are options from thin to a fabric that has very high opacity, which is surely enough for a superior kind of privacy and even blackout. Thick and heavy fabric options are not available in them because these kinds of fabrics can cause malfunction when they roll around the tube, quite logical.

Window Zebra Blinds

They are the spotlight of our list. Quite unknown for many people, unless you live in Canada. They are the top hottest and most popular window blinds in Canada, mainly because Canadians have tall windows mostly.

The way they look sleek on tall windows and the way they dynamically enhance the functionality of a tall window is unmatched by anyone. Their design and material are I think a kind of lone wolf in the window coverings industry.

Still, they have similarities with roller blinds. Well, you can even say that they are the hybrid or pro version of roller blinds. Roller blinds and zebra blinds do have the same operating mechanism, up and down.

The reason they are called zebra is that they have alternate stripes like zebras alternate white and black stripes. Instead of white and black they have alternate solid and sheer stripes.

Instead of having one tube-like roller blinds, they have two tubes, one is at the top and one is at the bottom. As they are also single panel based but this one panel is looped around two tubes and rolls around them, it makes the one panel have two layers, back and forth.

Due to the loop, the panel rolls and the alternate stripes start moving and the front layer stripes start overlapping the stripes of the backend layer.

So, by adjusting or aligning the stripes you can have a superior kind of functionality control. Aligning solid over solid, ultimately allows all the sheer stripes to be exposed which allows the light to pass through.

Aligning the solid ones over the sheer ones, makes the sheer ones blocked out, ultimately making it impossible for light to escape. This is why Zebra Blinds are called supreme in privacy and even blackout.

Now it’s on you and your preferences to choose the one for you. As for our recommendation, opt for window zebra blinds are way handier for tall windows, especially when you live in Canada.
