Materials

• Vertical blinds are available in a variety of colors.VERTICAL image by SKYDIVECOP from Fotolia.com
  
  Wood window blinds are great for privacy and blend well with the natural tones of the outdoors. Natural, walnut, oak and cedar are a few of the choices that can provide you with an element of the outdoors when closed and blend in with trees and shrubs in the yard when open. Metallic vertical blinds are made from high-quality aluminum and create a modern atmosphere in bright colors ranging from greys and creams to greens, yellows and reds. Sheer vertical blinds complement your open space while giving you a semi-opaque level of privacy with light control that never takes away from your view of the outdoors.

  Woven bamboo vertical panels are trendy and right in step with rattan and bamboo furnishings in your Champion room. Always light and airy, they create a warm feeling that only woven woods can. Use a natural, box-cut valance made out of natural woven materials to match your woven woods and give a clean line along the top of your vertical blinds.
  
  

Traditional

• Traditional vinyl blinds are inexpensive.vertical strip image by Mykola Velychko from Fotolia.com
  
  Traditional types of vertical blinds are available and less expensive than designer blinds that are made to order. Traditional blinds have different degrees of light diffusion and offer altered vanes, such as pocket cells. A pocket cell looks somewhat like a honeycomb and helps insulate when closed and filter light when open. Vinyl vertical blinds can be purchased at almost any department store in a host of colors and sizes. Many can be cut to fit Champion windows and come with a sliding valance to cover hardware.
