What they are

Practical vertical blinds for Ypsilanti sliders

Vertical blinds are a row of vanes hung from a headrail. Rotate them to adjust light and privacy, then draw them to one side or split them in the middle to open the door. Because the vanes hang straight down, they handle wide spans of glass better than most horizontal blinds.

In Ypsilanti, vertical blinds are most common in mid-century ranches and newer homes in the township, where a sliding door leads from the kitchen or family room to a deck or patio, and in condos with a slider to a balcony. Those doors get used constantly in warm weather, and vertical blinds are easy to push aside, easy to wipe down and simple to repair: a single damaged vane can usually be replaced on its own.

Today’s custom verticals come in vinyl, fabric and textured vanes in many colors, often with a matching valance, and they run on a smooth new headrail. If you’d like something softer, we bring sheer vertical shades too, so you can compare the two side by side at your door.

  • Stack to one side or split center
  • Matching valances

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.

Vertical blind questions

Common questions from Ypsilanti homeowners about vertical blinds.

Are vertical blinds a good choice for the slider in my Ypsilanti Township ranch?
Yes. Vertical blinds are durable, easy to clean and simple to operate on a busy door. We measure the opening and recommend whether they should stack to one side or split in the center.
Should I choose vertical blinds or sheer verticals for my Ypsilanti condo?
Vertical blinds are practical and affordable; sheer verticals look softer and more like drapery. If your association has guidelines about what shows from outside, check with them first. We bring both so you can compare.
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.
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.
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.
