Vertical blinds were a popular choice for many years, and people still use them today on sliding doors and big windows. But, if you’ve had your blinds for a long time, they might be needing repairs or replacing. In this article, we’ll talk about the components of vertical blinds, pieces you can fix, and also when it’s time to replace it.
Vertical blinds come with a chain and a cord or a wand mechanism. These days, wands are more popular. When you have a chain and cord, the vertical blinds must be open before you pull it to the side to allow more natural light to enter the room. If you don’t open them first, you may break the mechanisms and will have to replace the blind.
The leading cause for a vertical blind not working is when someone separates the slats or panels when closed. Ultimately, the slats will then overlap wrong. If you keep pulling the cord to try and fix the alignment, you will break the carrier inside the headrail. At that point, you will need to replace the vertical blind as it’s not worth repairing.
All you need to do when you notice the slats aren’t aligned is to manually fix the individual slat at the headrail and your blind will be aligned. Whatever you do, don’t pull on the wand or chain.
The most common breakage on a vertical is the slat. The slat is held in place by a clip in the headrail. Oftentimes, the slat will break or tear and fall on the ground. This is an easy fix. Curtain Master can repair or replace your slat, and you won’t have to replace the entire blind.
If some of your slats are faded or ripped, you can replace only the damaged slats. If your headrail is broken but your slats are in great condition, Curtain Master can replace the headrail.
