Vertical blinds are fabric slats hung from a track that tilt for light and draw aside to clear a window or door. Factory Fit measures, supplies and installs vertical blinds in 89mm and 127mm slats, in blockout and light-filtering fabrics, for homes, rentals and offices across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan. They are the durable, easy-to-repair choice for long windows and sliding doors.
Why choose vertical blinds
Tilt without drawing
Angle the slats and you cut glare or gain privacy while the blind stays closed across the door. Rollers cannot do that.
Fix one slat, not the blind
A torn or stained slat is replaced on its own. In a rental or an office, that is the difference between a small job and a new blind.
Long runs, no drama
A single track can cover a wide sliding door or a bank of windows, drawing left, right or from the centre.
Two slat widths
We supply verticals in 89mm and 127mm slats. The 127mm slat is the classic size: fewer slats, fewer carriers, and a bolder stripe of light across the floor, so it suits big doors and commercial glass. The 89mm slat is finer and sits more quietly on smaller windows and in living rooms where you do not want the blind to be the feature. Both come in light-filtering and blockout fabrics, and both are made locally in Queensland.

Available upgrades for vertical blinds
Verticals are simple by design. These are the few choices that change how they behave.
Split draw
OptionalSlats part in the middle and stack both ways, matching a bi-parting door or a centre-opening window.
Wand control
OptionalA single wand that both tilts and draws, so there are no cords at the window. Tidier, and easier around children.
Chainless bottom
OptionalSlats without the linking bottom chain, so nothing catches on furniture or feet.
Child-safe cord fittings
IncludedEvery cord and chain anchored so it cannot form a loop within reach. Standard on every install.

Vertical blinds questions
Are vertical blinds dated?
They have a reputation, mostly earned by faded, tangled examples in old rentals. A new vertical in a neutral fabric with matching slat widths through the house looks tidy, and nothing else gives you tilt-while-closed on a wide door at this price point. If looks are the priority for a living room, look at panel glides. If the job is a rental, an office or a long run of glass, verticals earn their place.
Can I replace a single damaged slat?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons landlords choose verticals. A torn, stained or chewed slat comes off its carrier and a new one clips on, provided the fabric is still available. If you manage several properties, keeping the same fabric across them makes replacements straightforward later.
Are vertical blinds safe around young children?
Yes, when fitted correctly. Corded internal window coverings in Australia must be installed to a mandatory safety standard, and every cord and chain we fit is anchored so it cannot form a loop within a child's reach. A wand-operated vertical removes the tilt cord altogether.
Can I have vertical blinds and a sliding security door on the same opening?
Yes. The security screen sits on the outside of the opening and the vertical blind on the inside, so the two never touch. Have both measured on the same visit and you get one quote and one install schedule. Draw the verticals the same way the screen slides so the door is clear when you want it clear.
Should I choose 89mm or 127mm slats?
127mm for big sliding doors, offices and long runs, where fewer slats look cleaner and cost less. 89mm for smaller windows and living rooms, where a finer slat sits more quietly. We bring both to the measure so you can see them against the window.
Do vertical blinds click and tangle in the breeze?
Slats will swing and tap in a strong breeze through an open door, the same as any hanging blind. The bottom chain keeps them in line and stops most tangling; a chainless option removes the chain but lets them swing more freely. Tilting the slats open a little lets the air through with less movement.
Do you do vertical blinds for offices and shops?
Yes. Verticals are common in commercial fit-outs because they are hard-wearing, easy to clean and simple to repair. The live site notes they are used in both residential and commercial settings, and we quote offices, shops and childcare centres the same way we quote homes: a free measure, then a written quote.
Where are your vertical blinds made?
The current range is made locally in Queensland, as stated on our existing site. Our blind supply is being reviewed, so if where they are made matters to you, ask us at the measure and we will tell you what applies to your order.
