Product Description
Curti-Voile blinds are a 2 in 1 blockout and sheer stylish window covering that combines the soft, flowing look of curtains with the practical control of vertical blinds.
Designed with elegant fabric vanes, these voile vertical blinds are perfect for large windows, sliding doors, patio doors, bi-fold doors, bedrooms, lounges, and open-plan living areas.
The clever dual-effect fabric gives you flexible light and privacy control throughout the day. Rotate the vanes one way for a soft sheer effect that gently filters sunlight, reduces glare, and keeps your space bright and airy. Turn them the other way for a more private blockout-style finish, helping to reduce outside visibility and create a cosier feel when needed.
Unlike traditional vertical blinds, Curti-Voile blinds have no bottom weights or chains. This means you can walk through the blind at almost any point, making them especially practical for doorways and high-traffic areas. The soft fabric vanes simply move aside as you pass through and fall naturally back into place.
Available in a beautiful range of translucent and dim-out colours, Curti-Voile blinds are ideal for creating a modern, elegant, curtain-like finish while still enjoying the neat operation of a blind. They are a premium choice for anyone looking for sheer vertical blinds, voile blinds, privacy blinds, or made-to-measure blinds for wide openings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Curti-Voile blinds?
Curti-Voile blinds are vertical blinds that combine the soft, flowing look of curtains with the practical control of a blind. They feature elegant fabric vanes that can be adjusted for light, privacy, and visibility, making them ideal for large windows, sliding doors, patio doors, and open-plan living spaces.
Are Curti-Voile blinds sheer or blockout?
Curti-Voile blinds offer a clever dual-effect finish. When the vanes are turned one way, they create a soft sheer effect that gently filters daylight and allows outward visibility. When turned the other way, they provide a more private blockout-style finish, helping to reduce light and visibility into the room.
Do Curti-Voile blinds give daytime privacy?
Yes, Curti-Voile blinds are designed to offer excellent daytime privacy while still allowing natural light into the room. The sheer side helps obscure the view from outside during the day, while the dim-out or blockout-style side provides additional privacy when needed.
Can you see through Curti-Voile blinds?
When adjusted to the sheer side, Curti-Voile blinds allow a softer level of visibility, helping you enjoy natural light and an outside view. When the vanes are rotated to the more private side, visibility is reduced for a more closed and private finish.
Are Curti-Voile blinds suitable for sliding doors?
Yes, Curti-Voile blinds are an excellent choice for sliding doors, patio doors, and bi-fold doors. Because they have no bottom weights or chains, you can walk through the blind at almost any point. The soft fabric vanes move aside as you pass through and then fall naturally back into place.
Do Curti-Voile blinds have chains at the bottom?

Where are Curti-Voile blinds best used?

What colours are available for Curti-Voile blinds?
Curti-Voile blinds are available in a stylish range of translucent and dim-out colours, including soft neutrals, greys, whites, creams, and darker tones. This allows you to choose a finish that complements your décor while giving you the level of light control and privacy you need.
Are Curti-Voile blinds better than standard vertical blinds?
