Vertical Solutions


There was a time when our only choices for a sliding glass door was a traversing drapery or dated vertical blinds. Not any more!


Vertical blinds are now available in soft fabric vanes and the vinyl blinds are available in beautiful patterns and colors. Also an option is one simple wand control that tilts the vanes, and open and closes the blinds. No more cord and chain controls.


Duette with Vertiglide, (pictured here ) made from the same cellular fabric you are familiar with for the window is now made to fit the sliding door. It can open left or right and takes only 6" of stack space.


Luminette from Hunter Douglas combines the beauty of a sheer with the versatility of a vertical blind. Get it all in one product.


Newest on the market is a product called panel track. Panels slide left or right stacking on top of each other. Panels can be made from natural materials like woven woods or bamboo type materials. Or can be flat panels of drapery fabric. Panels can range in size. I will be trying to find a picture to post so you can see this wonderful new option for large windows or sliding doors.
