Perfect for Doors & Wide Windows
Vertical blinds are engineered for wide expanses of glass where horizontal treatments become impractical:
Ideal applications:
- Sliding glass patio doors
- French doors
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Wide picture windows
- Room dividers
The vertical design traverses horizontally on a smooth-glide headrail, drawing to one side or splitting to stack on both sides. When you need access to your door, simply slide the vanes aside.
Alta's precision-engineered headrail system ensures quiet, reliable operation for years—even with daily use on busy patio doors.
Material Options
Alta offers vertical blinds in materials to suit every style and budget:
Fabric Vanes
- Soft, elegant appearance with hundreds of colours and textures. Light-filtering and room-darkening options available. Creates a more residential, decorator look.
PVC/Vinyl Vanes
- Durable, easy to clean, and moisture-resistant. Ideal for high-traffic areas, kitchens, and children's rooms. Most economical option.
S-Curve Vanes
- Curved vanes overlap when closed for enhanced privacy and light blocking. Modern, streamlined appearance.
Each material offers rotating vanes for precise light control and privacy adjustment.
Panel Track Blinds
For a contemporary alternative to traditional verticals, Alta offers Panel Track blinds:
Modern aesthetic:
- Large fabric panels glide on tracks
- Clean, minimal appearance
- Contemporary styling for modern homes
Versatile applications:
- Sliding patio doors
- Wide window walls
- Room dividers
- Closet doors
Fabric choices:
- Light filtering for living areas
- Solar screen for UV protection
- Room darkening for bedrooms
Panel tracks work particularly well in modern condos and open-concept spaces where traditional verticals might feel dated.
Light & Privacy Control
Alta verticals provide excellent control over light and privacy:
- Vane rotation:
- Open for maximum light and view
- Partially rotate for diffused light
- Close for privacy and light blocking
Traverse options:
- Draw to one side (left or right)
- Split draw—stack on both sides
- One-way or center-open configurations
Fabric options:

This flexibility makes vertical blinds practical all-day solutions for living spaces with changing light conditions.
