Vertical Blinds for Wide Windows and Doors
Fabric and PVC vanes gliding on a tracked headrail — the practical answer for sliding doors, conservatories and full-height glazing.
Vertical Blinds for Wide Windows and Doors, in detail
A vertical blind is the only product that covers a three-metre sliding door without a seam in the middle. Vanes hang individually from self-lubricating carriers, so one damaged vane can be unhooked and replaced in seconds.
We bend tracks to bay-window angles at no extra cost and supply split-draw stacks so the door opening stays clear. Blackout fabrics give bedrooms and meeting rooms genuine darkness at full height.

Measuring made simple
Vertical blinds are fitted to the face of the wall or into the ceiling, never inside a shallow recess, because the vanes need room to rotate.
Width
Measure the full opening plus 100 mm overlap each side.
Drop
From the track position to the floor, minus 15 mm so vanes clear rugs.
Side room
Allow 60 mm beside the opening for the vane stack when drawn.

View details →Common questions
Can vertical blinds follow a bay window?
Yes. We bend the track to your exact angles at no extra cost — send a simple plan sketch with the angles and we will confirm the geometry.
Do fabric vanes sag?
Our vanes have a fibreglass core that keeps them straight even at a 3 m drop; the weighted base adds stability.
Can I motorise a vertical blind?
Yes. Traverse and tilt can both be motorised, which is popular for double-height glazing where a chain is out of reach.
How much light do blackout vanes block?
Around 95% with the vanes closed and a 30 mm overlap on each side.
What is the widest span?
6000 mm on a single track, with a centre support every 1800 mm.
Can a single vane be replaced?
Yes — vanes hook on individually, so you never replace a whole blind for one damaged vane.
