SelectBlinds Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are the industry standard for sliding glass doors and large floor-to-ceiling windows because they move side-to-side, mirroring the operation of the door. While they can be used on standard windows, they are most functional where a horizontal draw is required.

An inside mount sits within the window frame for a clean, built-in look, but it requires a minimum depth to clear the headrail. An outside mount is installed on the wall or trim above the window, which is the better choice if your window frame is too shallow or if you want to make the window appear larger.

Yes, most vertical blind systems allow you to replace individual vanes without removing the entire headrail. You simply unhook the damaged vane from the carrier clip and slide a new one into place.

When fully opened, the vanes gather to one side, known as the 'stack.' You should account for approximately 10% to 15% of the total blind width to ensure the stack doesn't obstruct your view or the operation of your door.

Many contemporary vertical blinds now offer wand-control options, which eliminate dangling cords for a cleaner look and improved safety. Check the specific product configuration to see if a wand control is available for your chosen size.
