Each style can be made-to-measure, allowing you to furnish your home without compromise.
Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
These are an extremely popular choice for patio doors, owing to their practicality and ability to control light. The material used works perfectly to softly diffuse daylight across the room, while the linear design makes it easy to adjust how much block light can get through. They also require less cleaning than horizontal styles such as Venetian and wooden blinds, as any dust falls straight to the floor rather than collecting on the slats. Just give them a quick wipe occasionally for sleek-looking blinds all year round.
