Vertical Blinds


The epitome of versatility with multiple applications, including over doors and windows.

Vertical blinds are often used as sliding glass door blinds, which is by no means the limit of their versatile design. Modern vertical blinds are made from a variety of mediums to streamline looks as well as styles with a softer construction for a more intimate or welcoming feel. They also have multiple applications including over doors and windows with customizable slat sizes and shapes, and vertical blinds maintain their easy level of maneuverability even with the weight of large or overside treatments.


Vertical blinds are the epitome of versatility because of the combination of their many functional applications and the diversity of their aesthetic style. And the versatility of vertical blinds also brings a variety of benefits for the owners whether they’re used as sliding door blinds in a home living room or splashed across the entryway of a high-end spa.

Benefits of Vertical Blinds

  • Highly Customizable

    Vertical blinds are one of the most customizable options for window treatments on the market. Modern vertical blinds come in a rainbow of colors; can be shaped to specialty sizes and dimensions; are compatible with several operating systems; and have both hard and soft vane styles made from a variety of natural textiles, fabrics, and enhanced man-made materials. The abundance of options for customizations for vertical blinds opens up a world of uses for this style of shade in both residential homes and business settings because they can so easily be incorporated into existing décor.

  • Cost-Effective Choice

    The sheer number of custom options that come with vertical blinds makes them a good deal. Add to that the extensive range for their use on both large windows and doors and their desirability in both residential or commercial properties, and their cost-friendly price point makes vertical blinds an even more economically attractive choice. And with the chic style of modern designs and the durability of modern construction materials, the cost-savvy elegance of vertical blinds is hard to beat.

  • Elongate Interior Space

    Vertical blinds are one of the few kinds of window treatments that can introduce vertical lines into the design of a room. Vertical lines can help spaces seem larger by adding the illusion of height which feels more spacious. Additionally, because the vanes of vertical blinds can tilt to allow in natural light, the spacious feeling is amplified by the openness that view-through designs impart on window fashions.

  • Protect Valuables

    Vertical blinds help to protect your home and the valuables within including the money in your wallet. They do this by blocking the view into your home to enhance privacy, and they also block harmful elements of natural sunlight including UV rays that can damage furniture, artwork, décor, flooring, and other costly items. On top of that, they also contribute to the energy efficiency of a home by helping to control sunlight (which affects indoor temperatures and lighting) and decrease energy loss to help reduce both energy use and monthly energy bills.

  • Easy to Maintain

    Thanks to their vertical orientation, routine cleaning for vertical blinds is minimal as dust and dirt do not easily collect on vertical surfaces. For deep cleaning many styles of vertical blinds allow for the easy removal of single vanes for independent cleaning, while the blind as a whole remains functional and usable. Furthermore, modern, state-of-the-art operating systems assure the easy maneuverability of vertical blinds for hassle-free, long-term use.

  • Optimal for Large Windows

    While vertical blinds have long had their place as sliding door blinds, they are also ideal for wide or especially large windows like those often found in office buildings. Vertical blinds are easy to maneuver, even on XL windows, and their streamlined, uncluttered profile is suitable for a variety of work environments with customizable options for treatments in character with your company’s style and line with your business’s professional needs.
