Vertical Blinds

Ideal for large windows and sliding doors with smooth vertical operation.

Vertical Blinds — The Ideal Solution for Large Windows and Sliding Doors

Vertical blinds are purpose-built for wide windows and sliding doors — areas where horizontal blinds become impractical and curtains can obstruct access. The vertical louvres stack neatly to one or both sides when open, leaving the full width of the door or window clear.

Our vertical blind range uses polyester fabric louvres in a wide range of colours and textures. All blinds are custom made to your exact width and drop, with smooth chain-and-weight operation as standard. They're one of the most low-maintenance window coverings available — durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting.

Frequently asked questions

Are vertical blinds suitable for sliding doors?

Yes — vertical blinds are one of the best choices for sliding doors and bi-fold doors. The louvres stack neatly to one or both sides of the track when open, leaving the full doorway clear for access. Unlike curtains, they don't bunch or require space beside the door to stack.

What materials are available for vertical blind louvres?

Our vertical blinds use polyester fabric louvres, available in a wide range of colours and textures. Polyester is durable, easy to wipe clean, and holds its shape well — making it a practical and long-lasting choice for sliding doors and large windows.

Can individual vertical louvres be replaced if one is damaged?

Yes — one of the practical advantages of vertical blinds is that individual louvres can be unclipped and replaced without replacing the entire blind. Keep a spare louvre or two from your original order if you can, so you always have an exact colour match on hand.

How do vertical blinds compare to curtains for large windows?

Vertical blinds and curtains each have strengths for large windows. Vertical blinds stack more compactly when open (important for sliding door access), are easier to clean, and give precise angle control over light and privacy. Curtains add more softness, insulation, and a warmer aesthetic, but require wall space to stack when pulled back. Many NZ homes use both — verticals on sliding doors, curtains on large picture windows.

Are vertical blinds easy to clean?

Yes — fabric louvres can be dusted with a soft cloth or microfibre duster, and most can be unclipped and hand-washed if heavily soiled. PVC louvres wipe clean in seconds with a damp cloth. The chain-and-weight mechanism is robust and generally maintenance-free for years of everyday use.
