The options for covering standard windows are nearly infinite, but you may feel more limited when it comes to oversized windows and sliding glass doors. Allow us to introduce you to vertical blinds -they offer a range of benefits, and we're proud to carry leading brands, including Hunter Douglas, Lafayette Interior Fashions™, Graber®, and Alta. 

Why Choose Vertical Blinds?

When you think of vertical blinds, you may picture the bland, white vanes that adorn the windows of offices everywhere and have a knee-jerk, "No!" reaction. The vertical window blinds of yesteryear left a lot to be desired, but today's options are available in many materials, colors, and even textures to complement every style and preference. 

 

  • The vanes on vertical blinds rotate 180 degrees to provide exceptional light control and privacy. You can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air without giving your neighbors a front-row view of your home's interior. When the vanes are in the closed position, your blinds become an effective source of insulation and UV protection for your home.
  • Vertical blinds are easy to care for. Vinyl and aluminum vanes can be wiped with a damp or dry cloth, and a vacuum hose attachment on low suction is perfect for cleaning fabric vanes. Remember to clean the headrail when tackling the vanes. The smooth operation of vertical blinds can be affected if dust builds up on the track. You can also replace individual vanes on many styles, saving time and money over purchasing a whole new set of blinds.
  • You can use vertical blinds to make ceilings look higher or enhance the appearance of those that are already tall. Long, vertical lines draw the eye upward, giving the illusion of a more spacious room. Capitalize on this by mounting your vertical blinds just below the ceiling.
  • Horizontal blinds on large windows can be cumbersome to lift. Since vertical blinds open to the side, even expansive sets are a breeze to operate. This makes them an ideal solution for elderly homeowners or those with reduced mobility.
  • When used on patio doors, vertical blinds maintain easy access between indoors and outside so you can move more freely. Imagine trying to take a platter of food to the grill and getting wrapped up in drapes; you will compromise both your food and the integrity of your window treatments.
