Vertical Blinds

Give your home a polished look by adding vertical blinds. This window treatment has tall slats several inches wide that stretch from the top to the bottom of the window instead of running side to side. They often block even more light than horizontal blinds and give a more high-end and distinguished appearance – especially with custom vertical blinds that fit your windows and decor perfectly. We've got vertical blind repair clips, as well as traditional, wood, and modern vertical blinds to elevate the look of your windows. Some call them vertical window shades or vertical curtain blinds, but they're simply vertical blinds. There are window shades that extend or retract vertically, but those cover the whole window. These blinds let light in the entire length of the window or block it all the way down. Read on for more on different vertical blinds and where you can use them.

Vertical blinds bring a polished look to your window treatments. Think about when you move into a new home. If window treatments come pre-installed, they're usually horizontal blinds. Those are great and get the job done. However, if you want your home to look expensive, invest in vertical blinds. Find them to match whatever you've dreamed up. Wood vertical blinds can be a classic or rustic update to a farmhouse, traditional, or cottage vibe, depending on the wood type and stain color. A stately bedroom deserves blackout fabric vertical blinds to help you get your best sleep and awake refreshed. Whatever your style, we've got the vertical blinds to suit your space.

Glass doors leading out onto the patio let in beautiful sunlight, but it's also nice to have the option of privacy. Keep the flexibility of letting in the right amount of light when you want it with a new valance for vertical blinds, modern vertical blinds, or other sliding door window treatment ideas. Keep in mind the movement of the door will rattle the blinds and cause them to shift, too. Secure them well if you'd like traditional vertical blinds hung over sliding patio doors. Sliding glass door curtains may also work if you don't want vertical blinds over the doors, but using blinds gives you the advantage of choosing how much light vs privacy you'd like at any given time.

You might also consider built-in horizontal patio door blinds within the glass instead. Those are known as integrated blinds, integral blinds, or enclosed blinds. Patio doors with a glass insert can have blinds between the panes of glass, which are great for high-traffic areas. Enclosed blinds eliminate worries of dust or potential damage from kids, pets, and everyday life. Traditional patio doors may have horizontal integral blinds, but sliding patio doors might use a vertical integrated blind instead for a more elegant and elongated look.

Unless you get us to install custom blinds for you, you'll assemble and hang them up yourself. Now is the time to carefully set aside any spare slats so you'll have replacement vertical blind slats available when you need them. Be sure to store any extra slats in a clean, dry place where they can lie flat. The back of a closet is an excellent climate-controlled option. In other words, replacement blinds are available when you buy new vertical blinds. It'd be challenging to find an exact match to yours even if a manufacturer has them in stock. Any spares you set aside might still match if the hanging blinds aren't sun-bleached and visually aged. If you need several replacement blind slats, you may just want to buy a new set. That way, you'll be sure that every vertical blind slat matches.
