What they are

Practical coverage for wide openings

Vertical blinds are made of individual vanes that hang from a headrail. The vanes rotate to adjust light and privacy, and the whole blind draws to one side or splits in the middle to open the door or window. Because the vanes hang vertically, they handle wide spans, like sliding patio doors and door walls, better than most horizontal treatments.

Today’s custom vertical blinds are a long way from the ones many of us remember. Vanes come in vinyl, fabric and textured materials in a wide range of colors, and many styles include a matching valance to hide the headrail.

Vertical blinds are durable, affordable and easy to keep clean, which makes them a sensible choice for busy family rooms and doors that open to the deck all summer.

Easy care

Good value

Operating options & care

Simple operation and easy maintenance

Vertical blinds are usually operated with a wand that draws and rotates the vanes, or with a cord and chain. Wand control keeps cords away from a busy door and from children and pets. We’ll help you choose the stack direction that works with how you use the door.

To clean vertical blinds, dust the vanes with a duster or vacuum brush. Vinyl vanes can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap; fabric vanes should be dusted and spot cleaned. If a vane ever breaks, individual vanes can usually be replaced rather than the whole blind.

Vertical blind questions

Common questions from Metro Detroit homeowners about vertical blinds.

Are vertical blinds still a good choice for sliding doors?
Yes. They are practical, affordable and draw completely aside so you can use the door. For a softer look, compare them with sheer vertical shades.
What are vertical blind vanes made of?
Vanes are commonly made of vinyl, fabric or textured materials. Vinyl is the easiest to clean; fabric gives a softer look.
Can one broken vane be replaced?
In most cases a single vane can be replaced without replacing the whole blind. Call us if a vane breaks.
Which way should my vertical blinds stack?
Usually toward the side of the door that doesn’t open, so the blind isn’t in the way. We’ll look at your door and recommend the best setup.
How do I clean vertical blinds?
Dust the vanes regularly. Wipe vinyl vanes with a damp cloth and mild soap; dust and spot clean fabric vanes.
