Altea is a vertical blind fabric sold under the same name by two UK retailers: Blinds By Post and So Easy Blinds. Both list five colours with near-identical names - Element, Fraction, Fusion, Glow, and Mineral - which strongly suggests these retailers are sourcing likely the same fabric from the same wholesale origin, though neither retailer publishes that detail and the match cannot be confirmed with certainty.
Vertical blinds suit wide window openings, patio doors, and conservatory glazing particularly well. The vanes hang from a track and rotate to control light, then slide aside to open the view entirely. Altea's colour palette - those cool, tonal names point towards a neutral, contemporary range - fits living rooms, dining areas, and any glazed door where you want a clean look without fuss.
Because the fabric is very likely fixed, the real variables are: which colours each retailer actually has in stock for your order, whether one retailer offers additional fitting options you need, and which works out cheaper at the precise width and drop your window requires. The headline "from" price reflects the smallest standard size, and costs climb as the blind grows. A retailer that looks expensive at the minimum size sometimes closes the gap or crosses over at larger dimensions.
Both retailers here offer standard fitting. Check each retailer's colour selector before committing - some colour names carry a suffix like "Made To Measure" at Blinds By Post, which may reflect a product-line detail worth querying before you order. Measure carefully, compare at your exact size, and let the price grid below do the rest.

We match these on the shared name and a price that scales the same way across window sizes, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed. Construction, exact colourway and fitting can vary between retailers - check the specification at each before buying.
