VERTICAL BLINDS

Vertical Blinds

Sliding glass doors and wide custom windows are excellent for filling your home with natural light and provide a seamless transition from indoors to outside. A drawback to these windows, doors, and other large expanses of glass is that it can be difficult to find window treatments to cover them and provide privacy and light diffusion for your home. Vertical blinds are one excellent window treatment for covering expansive windows and sliding glass doors. We carry top brands, including Alta, Graber, and Norman®, and the specialists at Blinds by Design are here to help you select the ideal vertical blinds for any application in your home.

Graber Vertical Blinds

The functional design of vertical blinds from Graber allows you to enjoy lots of natural light without sacrificing your privacy. The vanes of vertical blinds for windows rotate 180 degrees, so you can enjoy as much or as little light as you prefer. Two vane options - fabric and vinyl - give you exceptional flexibility when it comes to light control. Fabric vanes range from sheer to opaque and are available in many colors to match your existing decor. Sheer fabrics are machine washable for extra-easy maintenance and give the elegant appearance of drapery while offering the functionality of blinds.

Graber Vertical Blinds feature the G71 headrail system that maintains an even width between vanes for a more polished appearance while the blinds are being opened or closed. Steel and anodized aluminum headrails are also available. Control options include a standard cord and chain system or single wand operation.

A refined, modern vertical blinds solution, Synchrony™ from Norman® features the award-winning Aileron™ Headrail. The innovative design blocks the light that usually sneaks in between headrails and slats and eliminates the need for a valance. Unique S-curved vanes close more tightly than straight vanes to block unwanted light.

Choose from an array of slat colors, textures, and styles to create custom vertical blinds for your home. Synchrony™ vertical blinds offer cordless operation that is certified Best for Kids™, making them a safer option for homes with children and pets. The vanes of these vertical blinds for sliding glass doors are also NFPA 701 certified for flame resistance, giving you more peace of mind when it comes to your family’s safety.

Alta Vertical Blinds

Alta’s vertical blinds include textured or smooth vinyl S-curved vanes and fabric panels. Your blinds for sliding glass doors can be made of sheer material to gently filter light or from opaque material with groovers for a near-blackout experience. S-curved vanes also offer the appearance of drapery and enhanced temperature control.

Your vertical blinds can stack to the left or right or split in the center to accommodate door handles and furniture. Over 100 color and texture options allow you to add the perfect touch to any room’s interior design. The Alta safety wand control system is certified Best for Kids™, and a standard chain and cord system is also available with this design.

Additional Benefits

  • Aside from their good looks and great functionality, vertical blinds deliver other benefits. While drapery is an excellent solution for windows, it offers an all-or-nothing solution when it comes to light control and privacy. Pair your vertical blinds with stationary side panels to hide blind stack back and add a layered look to your window-scape.
  • Blinds that open to the side are also more practical for large windows and glass doors. Standard horizontal blinds would be cumbersome to lift at those sizes. Vertical lines draw the eye upward, making your ceiling appear higher for a more spacious-looking room. If the room already has tall ceilings, vertical blinds will accentuate that, and having a room feel more open and airy is never bad. 
  • The 180-degree rotation makes these blinds easy to clean. Wipe each side of vinyl vanes with a soft cloth, and use a vacuum hose on low suction to clean dust from fabric blinds. Many fabric vanes can also be machine-washed. Just make sure you clean the headrail track, too, to prevent dust buildup from impacting the smooth headrail motion. 
  • Another perk is that if a vane, slat, or panel on vertical blinds becomes damaged, you can swap out individual pieces instead of replacing the entire set of blinds. Have you ever had to tolerate unsightly damaged blinds while waiting for a new set to be made? Never again.
