Upgrade Your Patio with Vertical Blinds

Patio and sliding glass doors can be some of the trickiest windows to cover. They are large and expansive, and the sliding mechanism demands an innovative window treatment designed for vertical mounting. Vertical blinds are a popular choice to meet these unique needs. However, many people feel they need more options on the market. But in reality, many exciting styles of vertical blinds put a contemporary twist on the popular classic.

Modern Style: Gliding Window Panels

Sleek, bold fashion meets the timeless functionality of vertical blinds in this window covering style. Gliding window panels protect your windows from glare, harsh sunlight, and UV rays while offering an alternative to vertical louvers. Popular options, like the Skyline® Gliding Window Panels from Hunter Douglas, boast mounting technology that results in minimal light gaps and smooth operation along a custom track. With so many colors, textures, opacities, and openness factors to choose from, it’s easy to customize the perfect solution to polish off your interior décor.

Remade Classics: Curved Vertical Blinds

Curved vanes are in! This subtle redesign of classic vertical blinds adds a sense of depth to your windows while improving privacy, light control, and in some cases, noise reduction. When paired with fabric styles, this technology has real potential for improving the quality of time spent indoors in a cool and quiet space. Ambient noise dampening works as an excellent choice for bedrooms and living rooms with sliding glass doors or balconies.

Energy Efficiency: Honeycomb Shades

While honeycomb shades are not vertical blinds, some styles offer specialized vertical mounting optimized for patio and sliding glass doors. Like Duette® Honeycomb Shades from Hunter Douglas, Shades feature Vertiglide™ technology that makes adjusting your shades a cinch. Enjoy a vast collection of fabrics in modern colors, patterns, and textures while bringing a boost of energy efficiency to your home. Duette® cellular shades boast expert technology allowing them to trap air rather than let it escape through your windows, improving your home’s insulation for warmer winters and summers.

Take Vertical Blinds to the Next Level

Regardless of which option you fall in love with, transform how you interact with your home’s natural lighting through the power of motorized window coverings. Innovative systems like PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas put your window treatments at your fingertips with the ability to control your vertical blinds with just a swipe of your finger.
