The Unilux is a moisture-resistant vertical blind sold by So Easy Blinds, designed specifically for use in bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms where condensation and splashing are routine. It comes in 16 colours from £44.45. The moisture-resistant designation distinguishes it from a standard fabric vertical, which can warp, stain, or grow mould if persistently exposed to steam and damp.

Who it suits

Bathrooms are the obvious home for this range. Most fabric blinds - rollers, Romans, standard fabric verticals - are not suited to the sustained humidity of a bathroom with a shower or bath, and standard polyester vanes can degrade in those conditions. A moisture-resistant vertical blind is the practical alternative: the vanes wipe clean and resist the effects of regular steam exposure. The vertical format also works well on wide bathroom windows or frosted-glass sliding panels in shower rooms.

Kitchens are the other natural fit, particularly near hobs and sinks where grease and condensation are common. The wipe-clean surface of moisture-resistant vanes makes maintenance more straightforward than with fabric alternatives.

The range is less suited to living rooms and bedrooms where visual softness matters - moisture-resistant verticals tend to have a more functional, practical appearance than fabric ranges, and the vertical format already reads as more utilitarian than, say, a Roman blind. If you have a bathroom window that is also a focal point of a designed scheme, confirm what the texture and sheen of the Unilux vane looks like in person before committing.

The colours

16 colours available

The 16 colours cover a wide range for a moisture-resistant vertical. Neutrals dominate: White, Cream, Linen, Stone, Grey, and Granite give you the full light-to-dark greyscale-and-warm-neutral span. Black adds a bold option at the dark end. The more expressive shades - Jade (green), Lime (a brighter green), Marine and Surf (blue tones), Imperial (possibly a deeper blue or navy), Solar and Butter (yellows), Lava (a red-brown or terracotta tone), and Anthracite (a dark grey-black) - give the range more versatility than a purely neutral bathroom blind tends to offer.

All colours appear to sit at the same from-price, with no premium tier visible within the range.

Price by your dimensions

Made to measure from £44.45. Check So Easy Blinds for the price at your exact window size.

At £44.45, the Unilux sits in the mid-range for moisture-resistant verticals. The from-price reflects a made-to-measure blind at the smallest available size; pricing will rise with width and drop. Moisture-resistant fabric typically carries a small premium over standard fabric verticals, so the from-price is reasonable for the specification.

How it compares

Within the moisture-resistant blind category, the main alternatives are aluminium or faux-wood venetian blinds and PVC roller blinds. Both are well established in bathrooms: aluminium venetians are easy to wipe down slat by slat, and PVC rollers give a flat, clean look. The Unilux vertical is the better choice when the window is wide - a venetian on a large bathroom window can feel heavy and cumbersome, and a PVC roller across a patio-style opening is awkward. Verticals handle wide spans cleanly.

The trade-off against a venetian is light control: a venetian allows precise slat-angle adjustment, letting in angled daylight without raising the whole blind. A vertical achieves similar effect by rotating the vanes, though the aesthetic is different. For a bathroom where privacy is the primary concern rather than nuanced light control, the difference is minimal in practice.

If you need blackout performance in a moisture-resistant vertical - an unlikely requirement in most bathrooms, but possible in a ground-floor bathroom with close neighbours - confirm with So Easy Blinds whether a blackout moisture-resistant vane is available, as the Unilux range as listed does not advertise a blackout option.

A note on care

Moisture-resistant vanes clean well with a damp cloth, making them more maintenance-friendly than fabric vanes in a wet room. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the vane surface or affect the moisture-resistant finish over time.
