Vertical blinds are the practical answer for the openings horizontal blinds handle badly — sliding glass doors, patio doors, and windows wider than they are tall. The vanes hang from a top track and rotate to aim light where you want it, then draw to one side to clear the doorway completely.

These use 3½" vinyl vanes. The wider vane means fewer of them across the opening, which reads calmer on a large window, and vinyl wipes clean rather than absorbing what a kitchen or a sunroom puts in the air.

The track

The headrail is a Decomatic heavy-duty track. Carriers are self-aligning and spaced equally across the full width, so the vanes hang evenly instead of bunching toward one end. Components are UV stabilized, and the track is designed to keep light gaps at the top and sides to a minimum. A slack releaser lets you swing the vanes clear when you need to wash the glass.

Options

  • Control: cord or wand.
  • Valance: a standard valance, or an Executive Valance available in two trim styles and sixteen trim colors.
  • Vane color: chosen from current swatches — we will walk you through what is available when we quote your windows.

Measuring

Every set is cut for one specific opening, and a vertical blind is less forgiving than most: too wide and it binds against the jamb, too narrow and you get a light gap down the side. Send us the measurements and we check them before anything is cut. See the size guide for how to measure, then request a quote.

Measuring your window

Measure the width first, then the height, in inches. Take the width at three points across the opening and use the smallest — window openings are rarely perfectly square. Rough numbers are fine for a quote; we confirm exact sizes with you before anything is cut.

Inside mount (IM) sits inside the window opening for a clean, recessed look. Measure the opening itself and send those numbers as they are — don’t subtract anything for clearance, we apply the factory deduction.

Outside mount (OM) fixes to the wall or trim outside the opening and covers more than the glass. It is the better choice where an opening is out of square, or too shallow to hold a blind. Tell us the area you want covered and we confirm the overlap with you.

Need more detail? Follow our step-by-step measuring guide.

Send the raw opening size. The factory takes the deduction for an inside mount — if you subtract it as well, the finished blind comes out narrow and you get a light gap down the side.
Inside mount: measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening and send us the smallest of the three. Openings are rarely square.
Measure the height at the left, centre and right and send us the shortest. Vanes that touch the floor or the sill drag and wear at the tips.
Measure the depth of the opening. The track needs a flat run of depth to sit in — send us the number and we will confirm it clears the handle and frame of a sliding door before anything is cut.
On a sliding glass door an outside mount is usually the better answer. Mounting above and wide of the opening lets the vanes stack clear of the doorway so the whole opening is usable.
Tell us which way you want the vanes to draw and which side you want them to stack. We will confirm what is available for your opening when we quote it.
Measure every opening separately, even ones that look identical.
Rough numbers are fine for the quote. The final order wants the nearest 1/8 inch.
