Custom vertical blinds — Toronto

Made for wide openings

What are vertical blinds?

Vertical blinds hang as a row of long vanes from a track at the top of the window. Twist the vanes with a wand to dial in light and privacy, or slide the whole row to one side to open the window or doorway completely. Because the vanes move the same way a sliding door does, they’re the most practical choice for patio doors and very wide windows.

They handle openings that horizontal blinds simply can’t — floor-to-ceiling glass, extra-wide walls of windows, and sliding doors you walk through every day. Choose durable vinyl, faux wood, or soft fabric vanes, with left, right, or centre stacking to suit how your room is laid out.

Why vertical

The patio-door problem-solver

Built for sliding doors

The vanes slide the same way your patio door does — stack them neatly to one side for full, walk-through access.

Light & privacy in a twist

Rotate the vanes from a clear open view to fully closed privacy, and stack left, right, or to the centre.

Tough, easy-care vanes

Vinyl, faux wood, and fabric options wipe clean and stand up to high-traffic, sunny, and humid rooms.

Fits the widest windows

Custom-made for floor-to-ceiling and extra-wide openings, with wand or motorized control and child-safe operation.

Choose your vane

Vinyl & faux wood, or fabric & sheers?

Every vertical blind works the same way — the vane material sets the look, the feel, and where it fits best.

Good to know

Vertical blind questions

What are vertical blinds, and what else are they called?

Vertical blinds are window coverings made of long vanes that hang from a track at the top. The vanes rotate to control light and privacy and slide to one side to open the window or door. You’ll also hear them called vertical shades, patio door blinds, or sliding door blinds — all the same idea.

Are vertical blinds good for sliding patio doors?

They’re the best-suited option. The vanes move in the same direction as a sliding door, so they stack neatly out of the way when you walk through and glide back across when you want privacy. Horizontal blinds tend to sag or bind on wide doors, while vertical blinds are built for exactly that opening.

What materials are available?

Vertical blinds come in vinyl/PVC, faux wood, and fabric vanes. Vinyl and faux wood are durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to wipe clean — great for patio doors, kitchens, and sunny rooms. Fabric vanes give a softer look in light-filtering to room-darkening options. We’ll help you choose the right material for each space.

Can vertical blinds cover very wide or floor-to-ceiling windows?

Yes — that’s where they shine. Vertical blinds are custom-made to your exact width and height, including floor-to-ceiling glass and extra-wide walls of windows. Very wide openings can use multiple tracks or a centre split so the vanes part in the middle, depending on how you use the space.

What are vertical sheers?

Vertical sheers are a premium take on vertical blinds: soft, S-curved fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer fabric. Rotate them open for a glowing, diffused view, or closed for privacy. They give the easy operation of a vertical blind with the elegant, drapery-like look of a sheer.

Are your vertical blinds cordless and custom-made?

Every vertical blind is custom-manufactured to your exact opening in the GTA, with wand-operated, cordless, and motorized Somfy options for a clean look that meets Canadian child-safety rules. We measure width, height, and mount type in person and add a door-handle cut-out where needed so the door still works perfectly.
