What they are

Vertical blinds for Howell door walls

With vertical blinds, a row of vanes hangs from a headrail. Turn the vanes to adjust light and privacy, and draw the blind to the side or part it in the middle to open the door. Hanging vertically, the vanes cover wide openings better than most horizontal blinds.

Plenty of Howell homes have a door wall off the kitchen to the deck and another in the walkout lower level to the patio or yard. Those doors see constant traffic from spring through fall, with kids, dogs and trips to the grill. Vertical blinds are made for that kind of use. They are simple to operate, the vinyl vanes wipe clean, and a single damaged vane can usually be replaced on its own.

Custom verticals come in vinyl, fabric and textured vanes in many colors, usually with a matching valance. If you want something softer for the main floor, we’ll bring sheer vertical shades to compare side by side at the same door.

  • Vinyl, fabric and textured vanes
  • Stack to one side or split center
  • Matching valances

Durable coverage for casual, high-use rooms.

Light control, privacy and value

Why vertical blinds are still a favorite for patio doors.

Adjustable light

Rotate the vanes to angle sunlight away from your eyes and screens.

Privacy

Close the vanes for privacy at night.

Easy care

Vinyl vanes wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Good value

A budget-friendly way to cover a wide opening.

Operating options & care

Simple operation and easy maintenance

Vertical blinds are usually operated with a wand that draws and rotates the vanes, or with a cord and chain. Wand control keeps cords away from a busy door and from children and pets. We’ll help you choose the stack direction that works with how you use the door.

To clean vertical blinds, dust the vanes with a duster or vacuum brush. Vinyl vanes can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap; fabric vanes should be dusted and spot cleaned. If a vane ever breaks, individual vanes can usually be replaced rather than the whole blind.

  • Wipe vinyl vanes clean

Vertical blind questions

Common questions from Howell homeowners about vertical blinds.

Are vertical blinds still a good choice for the door wall in my Howell home?
Yes. Vertical blinds remain one of the most practical ways to cover a door wall you use all day. They draw aside easily, adjust for light and privacy, and are easy to clean.
Should the vertical blinds on my Howell walkout door wall stack left or right?
It depends on which panel slides and where your furniture sits. Most homeowners stack the blind away from the opening side so the door is clear. We look at it with you and recommend the best setup.
What are vertical blind vanes made of?
Vanes are commonly made of vinyl, fabric or textured materials. Vinyl is the easiest to clean; fabric gives a softer look.
Can one broken vane be replaced?
In most cases a single vane can be replaced without replacing the whole blind. Call us if a vane breaks.
How do I clean vertical blinds?
Dust the vanes regularly. Wipe vinyl vanes with a damp cloth and mild soap; dust and spot clean fabric vanes.
