Vertical Blind Slats

Vertical Blind Slats: replacement vertical blind slats manufactured in the UK

Vertical Blind Slats is a British company specialising in the made-to-measure manufacture of replacement vertical blind slats. It operates under the umbrella of Abbey Blinds Group and produces its items in the centre of the UK, with free delivery to mainland UK addresses and no delivery surcharges.

Slat and fabric catalogue

The firm sells replacement slats in two louvre widths: 89 mm (3.5 inch), the industry standard, and 127 mm (5 inch), available only in certain fabrics. The fabric range is extensive and includes several categories:

• Blackout slats: designed to reduce glare, for children's bedrooms and to help night workers sleep.
• Waterproof PVC slats: 100% water and mould resistant, suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and conservatories.
• Plain and textured fabrics: with a wide selection of colours, different densities and textures.
• Patterned fabrics: many customers change slats seasonally, alternating heavier fabrics for winter and lighter, brighter options for summer.

In addition to slats, the company offers parts and accessories for vertical blinds, rails or tracks separately and complete vertical blind systems delivered to your door.

Manufacturing and finishes

Unless otherwise stated, all replacement slats are finished using ultrasonic welding, a process that creates a strong and durable seal, a clean, discreet finish and avoids the use of glue, stitching or visible holes. Where a fabric cannot be welded, the finish is carefully sewn; the company states that it never uses glue. The slats incorporate ultrasonically welded top and bottom pockets and, optionally, welded-in bottom weights.

Compatibility and ordering process

The slats are compatible with standard vertical blind systems: in most cases, existing hangers, weights and chains can be transferred to the new slats, as pocket sizes are standard across the industry. Alternatively, the customer can include new accessories such as white, beige or black weights and chains, or chainless weights.

The ordering process consists of three steps: count how many slats are currently hanging, measure the length (drop) of the existing fabric and enter the measurements on the product page. The measurements are automatically converted into a per-slat price.

Samples and service

The company offers free fabric samples, a service that does not delay the order thanks to the high stock levels it maintains. Buying in volume allows it to offer competitive prices and fast turnaround times.
