Inexpensive vertical blind repair
Vertical blinds are beautiful. They block out light and are far easier to maintain and clean than curtains. Unfortunately, the vanes take a lot of abuse. People in a hurry sometimes do not open the blinds before they walk outside. This places a lot of stress on the tiny amount of plastic in the clip holder. When these pieces break, the owner is left wondering what to do.
A vane saver is a metal device that clips onto the top of the broken vane. It has a hole in it that becomes the hole for the clip. One need not purchase replacement vanes. Vane savers are available in DIY stores, the window treatment area of big box stores and online. They are made in zinc (silver), white, off-white, ivory in both flat and curved configurations. The cost is nominal, depending on where you make the purchase, but generally they cost less than a couple of dollars each.
Repairing a vane properly not only saves money, it keeps the vane from breaking loose over and over, causing frustration or injury from someone tripping, a face being scratched by a falling vane corner, or jumping out of the way. Replacing the entire set of vertical blinds is no longer necessary. This is an expense worth avoiding.
If you know someone with vertical blinds, give them a package of vane savers as a gift. Buy a box for yourself, as the savers work on different manufacturer's blinds.
