Vertical Blinds for Modern North Carolina Homes

When it comes to covering wide expanses of glass in your home, vertical blinds will most likely come to mind. Crafted to easily cover sliding glass doors, wide windows, and more, vertical blinds are a reliable window treatment. But are they a modern window treatment?

With the help of the team at Benchmark Shutters & Shades, we explore the modern options for vertical blinds and alternative vertical treatments from Hunter Douglas with contemporary aesthetics and the latest in design features.

Where Can You Use Vertical Blinds?

Thanks to design innovations by the team at Hunter Douglas, modern vertical blinds have applications beyond their inventors’ initial intent. By working with the Benchmark Shutters & Shades design team, homeowners can customize modern blinds for the unique spaces in their home.

• Doors: There are modern vertical blinds and shades from Hunter Douglas that fit on doors of all kinds, including patio doors, sliding glass doors, and French doors.
• Broad or Tall Windows: Vertical treatments are also practical for large, expansive glass features in a home.
• Room Dividers: Several of the vertical options from Hunter Douglas can also be fashioned into room dividers with a seamless side-to-side motion.

Modern Vertical Blind Options

Luminette® Sheer Panels: Classic vertical blinds get a makeover in this vertical treatment that features modern translucent, sheer materials to the traditionally hard design. Sheer materials add a light-filtering quality to vertical blinds to enhance privacy and expand the interior lighting spectrum.

• Applications: Patio doors, sliding glass doors, and sidelights.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: These window treatments are a complete reimagination of vertical blinds. Instead of hard, vertical vanes that are hung from a top header, panel track blinds use fabric-based panels that traverse side-to-side on a built-in track system. While the horizontal movement remains the same as classic vertical blinds, the aesthetic style is decidedly more contemporary with hundreds of modern textiles to choose from in the Hunter Douglas fabric library.

• Applications: Patio doors, sliding glass doors, large expanses of vertical or horizontal glass, and room dividers.

Vertical Blind Alternative Options

Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™: Did you know that this coveted cellular shade from Hunter Douglas can be fabricated for horizontal or vertical applications? This is thanks to the multitude of compatible operating styles, including Vertiglide for door coverings, Skylift™ for skylights, and PowerView® Automation for motorized shades.

• Applications: Patio doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, skylights, sidelights, cut-out shapes, bay windows, and specialty shapes (circles, ovals, hexagons, trapezoids, angles, and arches)
