Vertical blinds built for big windows and sliding doors
Tilt for light and privacy, slide right back to walk through. Custom vertical blinds are the practical, affordable way to dress wide windows and patio doors, made to measure and professionally installed across Australia.
Practical light control for the widest windows
Vertical blinds hang as a row of fabric or PVC louvres from a headrail at the top of the window. A simple wand or chain rotates every louvre at once to dial in exactly how much light and privacy you want, and the whole set slides across to one or both sides so you can step straight through a doorway.
That combination of easy tilt and full step-through is why vertical blinds remain a favourite for sliding patio doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and wide living-room spans. They are hard-wearing, easy to clean and one of the most budget-friendly custom window treatments we make.
- Tilt the louvres for precise light and privacy through the day
- Slide fully aside for clear step-through on sliding doors
- Affordable, durable and easy to wipe down or replace a single louvre
Made for the windows other blinds struggle with
Vertical blinds come into their own on the big openings, where their tilt-and-slide action beats a single large blind or curtain.
Sliding doors
Slide the louvres clear of the door so you can walk through to the patio without fuss.
Floor-to-ceiling
Long, even louvres dress tall windows cleanly from headrail right down to the floor.
Wide living spans
One smooth system covers a wide opening that would need several separate blinds.
Offices & studies
Angle the louvres to cut screen glare while keeping a soft, even daylight in the room.
Choose the louvre to suit the room
Fabric louvres
A soft, textile look in a wide range of colours, with light-filter and blockout fabrics to set how much light gets through.
PVC louvres
Rigid, wipe-clean louvres that resist moisture, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and high-traffic family rooms.
Sunscreen louvres
A screen weave that cuts glare and UV while keeping your outlook, great for rooms with a view you want to keep.

Common questions about vertical blinds
Are vertical blinds good for sliding doors?
Vertical blinds are one of the best options for sliding doors and tall windows. The louvres draw to the side and rotate, so you can open a clear walkway through a door or angle the slats to control light and privacy without moving the whole blind. Because each louvre runs the full height, they handle large openings neatly where other blinds would need to be very wide, which is why they remain a favourite for patio and balcony doors.
Can vertical blinds block out light?
Yes. We make vertical blinds in blockout louvres that stop effectively all light through the fabric itself, which suits bedrooms and rooms that need to be dark. As with any slatted covering, a little light can pass between the louvres where they overlap, so for a fully dark room you may prefer a blockout blind or blockout curtains. We talk through the trade off at your measure so you choose the right fit.
Are PVC or fabric louvres better?
It depends on the room. PVC louvres are wipe clean, moisture resistant and hold their shape well, which makes them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and sun facing windows. Fabric louvres give a softer, more textured look and come in a wider range of colours and light filtering options, so they suit living areas and bedrooms. We bring both to your free measure so you can feel the difference before deciding.
Can a single damaged louvre be replaced?
Yes. One of the practical advantages of vertical blinds is that the louvres are individual, so a single damaged or marked slat can usually be swapped out rather than replacing the whole blind. Keep a note of the fabric or bring us a sample and we can match a replacement in most cases, which helps the blind last and keeps the running cost down over time.
Which rooms suit vertical blinds best?
Vertical blinds are most at home on large windows, sliding doors and wide living spaces where their side draw and tilt make daily use easy. They work well in living rooms, home offices, dining areas and bedrooms, and the PVC range extends them comfortably into kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. Because every blind is made to measure, the same style can run across several rooms with the fabric chosen to suit each one.
Can I have vertical blinds with curtains?
Yes. Pairing vertical blinds with curtains or sheers is a simple way to add softness to a large window or door. The blind handles the everyday light and privacy control while the fabric frames the opening and warms the room. We can coordinate colours across both layers and measure them together so the blind clears the door and the curtains hang cleanly.
Do you measure and install vertical blinds across Brisbane and the Gold Coast?
Yes. We look after the full job from a free in home measure to professional installation across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the surrounding suburbs. Our team checks the exact width and drop, allows for door clearance and traffic, and fits the track so the louvres rotate and stack smoothly. You can see the areas we cover on the locations page.
How long do custom vertical blinds take?
As a guide, most custom vertical blinds are ready within a few weeks of your measure being confirmed, since each one is cut and assembled to your exact opening. The timing can shift a little with the louvre type and how busy the workshop is, so we give you a clear estimate at quote stage and keep you updated through production and installation.
