Vertical Blinds
& Window Coverings
Sleek, flowing styles for windows
and sliding doors
Gorgeous window treatments, designed to stack to the side.
Vertical window coverings stack smoothly to the side instead of raising up. They’re perfect for sliding glass doors, patio doors, and windows where you want side-to-side operation.
From sleek sliding panel shades to flowing vertical sheers that look like drapery, you get beautiful light control and privacy. Stack them open for a clear view. Close them for privacy. Tilt the vanes to control light exactly how you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between vertical blinds and horizontal blinds?
Vertical blinds, shades, and sheers stack to the side when opened. They’re designed for sliding glass doors, patio doors, and windows where side-to-side operation works better. Horizontal blinds raise up and down and work well for standard windows.
What's the best window treatment for sliding glass doors?
It depends on your style and how you use the space. Sliding panel shades offer a modern, minimalist look with wide fabric panels. Vertical sheers look like flowing drapery with adjustable vanes for light control. Woven wood vertical drapery brings natural texture. We’ll help you choose what works best for your home.
Can vertical shades and blinds be motorized?
Yes. Sliding panel shades and vertical sheers can be upgraded with PowerView® motorization for app, remote, or voice control.
Are vertical window treatments outdated?
Not at all. Today’s vertical shades and sheers feature designer fabrics and sleek hardware — nothing like the vinyl vertical blinds from decades ago. From elegant vertical sheers to minimalist panel shades, modern options are beautiful and contemporary.
How wide can vertical shades go?
It depends on the style. Vertical sheers can span openings up to 16 feet wide as a single unit. Sliding panel shades use multiple panels that stack to one or both sides, so they can cover even wider openings. We’ll help you determine the right number of panels for your space.
What's the difference between vertical blinds and sliding panel shades?
Traditional vertical blinds have narrow slats that tilt open and closed. Sliding panel shades have wide fabric panels that glide along a track for a modern, streamlined look. Both stack to the side when open.
Are vertical window coverings easy to operate?
Yes. Modern vertical shades, sheers, and blinds glide smoothly and are easy to open and close. Motorization makes operation even easier, especially for large openings.
How much do vertical window coverings cost?
It depends on the style, size, and features. The best way to get an accurate price is during a design session, where we can understand what you need and give you an exact quote.
