As we leave July and head into the start of this new financial year, we are so, so excited about all the news we have to tell you in this month’s newsletter.
We start by introducing you to our NEW 2015 Vertilux Blinds Fabric Range. We welcome you to view all the new blind fabrics such as Jewel, Madison Two, Lexington, Hamilton and Code to name just a few of the 15 (I know 15, amazing!) new fabrics that we are so pleased to bring to you.
Not only the new fabrics but also our new revamped website is now open for business.
So please read on to find all our July news…
Your innovative Vertilux team
NEW 2015 FABRIC RANGES – NOW RELEASED
Where do we start?
There is so much exciting news on the fabric front, such as Yang Room Darkening which now has a total of 20 colours in the range and at Price Group 1 Special. Perfect! The long awaited new Madison Two Room Darkening with 9 colours – 3 of these colours come in both the standard white back as well as grey back at Price Group 2. Or our new screen quality Status 10% + 5% Transparent at Price Group 2! Then there are the new textures of Hamilton Room Darkening, Journey in Translucent and Room Darkening, and Lexington Room Darkening just to name a few of the new fabrics.
Your account manager will be in touch very soon to tell you all about them as the sampling has just arrived and rolling out the door on its way to all parts of Australia. To see them online please click here.
CHANGES AHEAD
With the release of our new Exclusive Vertilux Blind Fabric Ranges, mentioned above, there will be changes to the fabrics that we will no longer sample. These fabrics will move to the section of ‘Non-Exclusive – External Suppliers (Not Sampled by Vertilux)’ in the attached PDF.
There are some major changes that we need to bring to your attention, such as Pilbarra Plus (Hunter Douglas’s Plaza Plus) which has now moved from Price Group 1 to Price Group 3 and Wicker (Mermet’s Seychelles) which has gone from Price Group 7 to Price Group 8.
Many of the prices have skyrocketed over the past 6+ months and we have been holding the price firm until we could offer you our great new fabric ranges (as mentioned above). Other fabrics affected are Ocean, Ying Plus, Kool-View Eco, Bellarine, Kool-Text and Silverview 5%. These fabrics will still be available, from the relevant supplier, to use on our blind systems, so please don’t despair, just take into account the new price groups going forward. Please check the list for the new price groups.
To assist in this transition however, the new price groups will not come into affect until 1 October 2015.
NEW TECHWOOD HAS LANDED!
As per our previous advice the Fibrewood stocks are now depleted and at last the Techwood stock has arrived. The sampling swatches will be with you soon to replace the Fibrewood in your Timber Venetian Samplers. There are 5 colours in each of the 50mm and 63mm.
It is a very economical alternative to timber in our Venetian Blind range. Techwood is made from PVC co-extrusion. It is completely washable and will not absorb moisture and is suitable for wet and humid areas including bathrooms and kitchens.
The new data sheet is available on the website to download or click here.
NEW WEBSITE NOW LAUNCHED
 |
As we herald the launch of the new 2015 Blind Fabric Range, we invite you to view them on the newly upgraded Vertilux website. The new website is fresher and brighter, and with so much more product and detail. Our newly released Healthcare Fabric Ranges have their own web page under the Materials tab and the Mottura by Vertilux curtain tracks, now sit proudly for your viewing under the Systems tab. |
 |
As we have said, all the new blind fabrics are there, and we now have installed a filtering tab to help you do a quick search of just the right fabric. Perhaps you need to know which of our fabrics meet our environmental Greenvision Fabric Range credentials or you just want to look at the Translucent fabrics on offer, no problem, just hit the tab and they will all be there for you to choose from. |
 |
|
 |
In the Members area we have separated your ‘Current Orders’ and ‘Recent Despatches’ to two separate pages, just a click away, for easier reading and printing. Also to condense the page we now only show you the actual ‘Factory Process’ that your order was last scanned at rather than all the production steps (be honest, you only want to know where it is, not where it has been).
As always, we really do welcome your feedback and our Marketing Manager, Paula Dawes, would be happy to hear from you with your ideas and thoughts on the web site or listen to your suggestions. Please email her at paula@vertilux.com.au |

SOLAR MOTORISED ROLLER BLINDS – and the winter months…
 |
We are about half way through the winter months and with this comes a need to alert you to taking into account the selection of the correct Solar Panel relevant to the amount of light that the blinds you are installing have available to keep them charged.With much lower light available at this time of year compared to the sunny summer months we recommend you invest in a Solar Meter to assess how much light the area is getting to be sure the blinds stay charged. |
 |
The Solar Meter at $60.00 is a small cost for insurance against the blinds not charging due to lack of light. Click Here for the data sheet. |
