The Hannah Moisture Resistant range from Unbeatable Blinds is a made-to-measure vertical blind offered in 23 colours, starting from £9.43. It is a blackout fabric built to cope with damp, hung as hanging louvres that tilt to set the light and draw to one side to clear the window, across a spread that runs from soft neutrals to a handful of stronger accent shades.
Who it suits
Vertical blinds are the natural choice for wide windows, patio doors and conservatories, where the louvres draw neatly to the side rather than stacking up at the top. The louvres tilt as a set to angle daylight and set privacy, and slide right back when you want the glass clear or the door open. Because each louvre is a separate strip of fabric, a single damaged one can be replaced on its own rather than the whole blind, which is useful in a busy household or a doorway that sees a lot of traffic.
The moisture-resistant fabric makes this range a sensible pick for a kitchen, bathroom or conservatory where humidity would trouble a more delicate cloth. The fabric is blackout, so it blocks light well when the louvres are tilted closed - though it is worth remembering that a vertical blind leaks a little light at the overlaps and edges between louvres, so it reduces light very heavily rather than achieving a perfectly sealed room.
The colours
23 colours available
The range is built mostly around neutrals. Greys form the largest group - dove, smoke, light, dark and slate greys, plus steel - followed by warm creams and stones in biscuit, mushroom, nude, stone and taupe, and crisp whites in pure, snow and super white. On top of these neutrals sit the accents: blues from a soft duck egg through mineral blue, navy and indigo, a couple of greens in khaki and vine, two pinks in dusk and lipstick, and a heather and nude in the softer tones. That gives you a quiet neutral for most rooms and a stronger colour where you want the window to make a statement, all in the same moisture-resistant blackout cloth. Colour on a screen and colour filling a window can differ considerably, so request a sample before committing to a full-sized blind, particularly for the deeper blues and pinks.

Pricing scales with the width and drop, as you would expect for a vertical blind sized to a wide window or door. The accent colours do not carry a premium over the neutrals, so the choice is about the look you want rather than the budget.
How it compares
Against a roller blind, a vertical suits a much wider opening: the louvres draw to the side rather than rolling onto a single tube, which keeps the stack tidy across a big patio door or conservatory wall. Against a venetian, the vertical's louvres run top to bottom rather than across, which sheds dust less readily but tilts just as precisely. For true sealed blackout in a bedroom, a blackout roller or roman gives a tighter result, since a vertical always leaks a little at the louvre overlaps; but for light control and privacy across a wide damp-prone window, this moisture-resistant blackout range is well matched to the job.
A note on care
Vertical louvres are easy to keep clean. Wipe each louvre with a damp cloth; the moisture-resistant fabric handles a kitchen or bathroom setting and the occasional splash without trouble. Avoid soaking the headrail and chain mechanism, and let the louvres hang free to dry. If a single louvre is damaged or marked beyond cleaning, it can be unclipped and replaced individually rather than renewing the whole blind, which keeps the range practical for high-traffic doorways.
