Large windows and sliding glass doors bring light, views, and a sense of openness to your home—but they also present unique challenges when it comes to window coverings. You want to preserve the natural light and the view, while maintaining privacy and controlling glare. That’s where vertical blinds shine. At Made in the Shade West Cincinnati, we offer modern, stylish, and highly functional vertical blind solutions that are perfect for wide or tall windows, sliding doors, and patio entryways.
If you’re dealing with hard-to-cover openings, vertical blinds may be the most versatile and practical solution—and they’ve come a long way from the stiff, clunky versions of decades past.
Why Vertical Blinds Are Ideal for Large Openings
Vertical blinds are designed to cover wide horizontal spans without the bulk of multiple shades or panels. The vertical orientation allows for easy side-to-side operation—perfect for sliding glass doors, French doors, or even wall-to-wall windows.
Top benefits:
- Smooth, effortless operation
- Wide light control range (open, tilt, close)
- Available in vinyl, fabric, or composite materials
- Customizable to match any décor
- Cordless and motorized lift options for safety and convenience
Material Options to Match Any Style
Forget what you think you know about vertical blinds—today’s designs are contemporary, chic, and highly customizable. Choose from:
- Vinyl vanes: Durable, easy to clean, and ideal for high-humidity areas like sunrooms or bathrooms.
- Fabric vanes: Softer and more decorative, available in patterns and textures for a high-end look.
- Faux wood/composite vanes: Give the appearance of real wood with added durability and moisture resistance.
- S-shaped vanes: Overlapping design for extra light blocking and noise reduction.
You can also select curved or embossed finishes, decorative valances, and even prints or weaves to personalize your space.
Perfect Use Cases for Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds aren’t just for sliding doors—they’re also perfect for:
- Bay and bow windows
- Floor-to-ceiling glass walls
- Oversized living room windows
- Glass-walled sunrooms
- Home offices with panoramic views
They are especially popular in mid-century modern homes, open-concept designs, and homes where wall-to-wall glass is a feature.
Light Control and Privacy at Your Fingertips
With vertical blinds, you get multiple light-control options. You can:
- Fully retract the vanes to one or both sides for an unobstructed view
- Tilt them to allow light in while maintaining privacy
- Close them completely for full shade or insulation
Their ability to rotate 180° makes them more adjustable than most horizontal blinds or shades.
Cordless and Motorized Options
We offer cordless and motorized vertical blinds for safer, smarter living. Cordless options eliminate hanging cords, making your home safer for children and pets. Motorized options allow you to tilt or draw your blinds via remote, smartphone, or voice command—ideal for large, hard-to-reach areas.
Plus, with smart home integration, you can schedule your blinds to open in the morning and close at sunset—saving energy and improving comfort.
Easy Maintenance and Durability
Vertical blinds are low-maintenance and easy to clean—especially vinyl options, which can be wiped with a damp cloth. They’re also durable enough to withstand daily use, foot traffic, and even pets brushing past.
If one vane ever gets damaged, it can be replaced individually—unlike roller shades or panels that require full replacement.
