Verticals glow up

Silent Gliss by Peter Meyer

Simon Meyer – Managing Director of Silent Gliss by Peter Meyer, says the company is transforming vertical blinds with the 3D Vertical Waves collection, described as a striking example of the brand’s “design-meets-function approach”. 

“This distinctive solution turns a familiar format into a dynamic visual feature, suited equally to window shading or spatial division in contemporary residential and commercial interiors.”

“Developed in collaboration with Swedish textile designer Eva Marmbrandt, Vertical Waves harnesses laser-cutting precision and digital textile printing to produce a flowing wave pattern with sculptural appeal,” says Meyer. “The 3D version builds on this concept, using spherical forms in subtle colour gradients to create an optical transformation, from undulating wave to honeycomb structure. The effect is bold, architectural, and guaranteed to be a talking point.”

“Designed to elevate interiors where aesthetics and performance go hand in hand, the system offers flexible operation including motorised, crank or chain, and can accommodate sloped installations up to 53°. It’s also fully compatible with smart home systems for seamless integration. Profiles can be recessed or bent to tight radii, offering installation flexibility for both standard and custom applications.”

“As with all Silent Gliss Vertical systems, performance is a priority. The exclusive Multi Visio fabric is specially suited for the 3D print process and is available in the full RAL colour spectrum. Other fabric options include Colorama Bioactive with antibacterial silver ions for healthcare settings, and Multi Shadow, ideal for glare control.”

“What sets the 3D Vertical Waves apart is their ability to merge light control, acoustic benefits, and privacy with artistic impact. In a market saturated with functional yet visually neutral options, this system offers something truly different—a sculptural solution for modern spaces where design leads the conversation.

Rollease Acmeda

As demand continues to grow for functional, versatile, and low-maintenance window coverings, Rollease Acmeda has invested in streamlining its vertical system to better serve both the installer and end user. 

“Our latest updates focus on improving system assembly, increasing inventory efficiency, and enhancing the overall user experience, ensuring our verticals’ offering continues to meet the evolving needs of the market.

“One of the most valuable recent refinements to our Vertical System is the repositioning of the magnetic connection, moving the magnet from the Tiltrod Support to the Wand Control Unit. This subtle yet impactful adjustment has significantly improved the reliability of collection and disengagement of up to three Tiltrod Supports in a single system.”  

Complementing this is the new Offset Wand Control Unit, which features an off-centre hinge that directs the wand away from the leading slat. 

“This small yet effective adjustment eliminates interference with slat alignment, resulting in smoother operation and a more refined finish.”

“To further reduce installer pain points and simplify the supply chain, we’re offering linked carriers and preassembled Face-Fix Brackets with ceiling clips. The brackets are available in both 75mm and 95mm projection options across our full colour range, supporting faster installation while reducing customer inventory holding.”

“Our refreshed Vertical System also introduced a one-piece Universal End Cap, replacing the previous two-piece version. This update simplifies the assembly process and improves compatibility across the system. Alongside this, the addition of a Vertical Carrier Anchor and Drill Template for Tiltrod Supports, which reduces installation time by improving accuracy and making system assembly more efficient.

“With the ability to support up to three Tiltrod Supports within a single system, these updates make our offering one of the most efficient and user-friendly vertical blind systems on the market.”

“Verticals are experiencing a steady resurgence across both residential and commercial sectors, driven by their low-maintenance functionality. Our Vertical System continues to evolve, driven by thoughtful innovation that enhances reliability, simplifies assembly, and adds value for our partners.”

Hunter Douglas

The Deco Plus Verticals offering from Hunter Douglas is described as “a premium window treatment solution that redefines style, durability, and ease of use” in which European-inspired design meets cutting-edge performance.

“Engineered for smooth, silent operation, the innovative traversing wand gear eliminates the clunky, noisy movement often found in traditional systems. Each vertical blind features ultra-durable traveller hooks crafted from strong, transparent thermoplastic, complete with a springless clutch and stabilising arm for secure, reliable performance.”

“Built to last, every component – from end caps to drive chain, travellers and end retainers – is forged from high-precision Polycetal, a premium thermoplastic renowned for its strength and dimensional stability. All parts are rigorously cycle-tested to ensure up to 10 years of dependable use.”

“Designed with versatility in mind, Deco Plus Verticals feature universal tracks for easy installation and on-site control side reversal. Clip-in brackets allow for effortless mounting, making them functional and aesthetically pleasant.”
