Vertical Window Covering FAQs
What are the best window coverings for sliding glass doors?
Sliding glass doors are best covered with window treatments that operate side-to-side, matching the movement of the door. Popular solutions include vertical blinds, panel track shades, vertical sheers, and vertical cellular shades. These products provide smooth operation, adjustable light control, and enhanced privacy while maintaining easy access to outdoor spaces.
Are vertical blinds still in style?
Yes. Today’s vertical blinds are available in modern materials, textures, and colors designed to coordinate with contemporary interiors. From sleek panel track shades to soft vertical sheers, modern vertical window coverings offer updated styling with improved functionality and motorized operation.
What’s the difference between panel track shades and vertical blinds?
Panel track shades feature large fabric panels that glide smoothly side-to-side, creating a modern, streamlined appearance for large windows and patio doors. Traditional vertical blinds use narrower slats that stack neatly to the side and tilt for adjustable light control and privacy.
Both options are designed for wide openings, but panel track shades typically offer a softer, more contemporary aesthetic.
Which vertical window coverings offer the best privacy?
Many vertical window coverings are available with privacy-focused fabrics and materials. Vertical blinds, panel track shades, vertical cellular shades, and vertical sheers can all be customized for varying levels of light control and privacy. Room darkening options are also available in select collections.
Are vertical shades good for large windows?
Yes. Vertical shades are one of the best solutions for large windows because they glide smoothly side-to-side and can span wide expanses of glass while maintaining easy operation and flexible light control.
Can vertical blinds be motorized?
Yes. Many vertical blinds and shades are available with PowerView® Automation, allowing you to control your window coverings using a remote, smartphone app, or voice commands through compatible smart home systems.
What are the best vertical blinds for patio doors?
Vertical shades and blinds are ideal for sliding patio doors because they move in the same direction as the door itself. Popular options include panel track shades, vertical sheers, vertical cellular shades, and traditional vertical blinds. For hinged patio or French doors, many homeowners choose shades or blinds that mount directly to the door for continuous coverage and easy operation.
