A Note from the Studio
The sliding door is San Diego's favorite wall, and it deserves better than the vinyl slats of 1994. Modern fabric louvres drape like drapery and traverse like machinery — the whole opening clears in one motion, and the patio becomes part of the room again. — The iL Progetto Studio, San Diego
Vertical Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
Are vertical blinds the best treatment for sliding glass doors?
Vertical blinds are the most practical treatment for sliding glass patio doors because they traverse laterally — matching the direction the door opens. They do not interfere with door operation, provide full-width coverage, and are available in materials that handle high-traffic areas well. Alternative treatments include panel track systems (a more modern look) and sliding panels.
What materials are available for vertical blinds?
We offer vertical blinds in fabric, PVC, and aluminum vanes. Fabric vanes provide a softer, more residential appearance and come in blackout and light-filtering options. PVC vanes are the most durable and moisture-resistant choice for high-humidity areas or heavy-use doors. Aluminum vanes offer a clean, commercial look with excellent durability.
Can vertical blinds be motorized?
Yes — motorized vertical blind systems are available and particularly useful for large or heavy sliding doors where manual operation is cumbersome. Motorized track systems allow the vanes to traverse and tilt with a remote or app command, which is useful when the door track makes it difficult to reach the wand control.
How do I keep vertical blinds from swinging in a breeze when the door is open?
We offer a bottom-chain weighting system that links the vanes at the bottom and keeps them from separating in a breeze when the door is open. It is a standard option we recommend for any patio door installation where the door will be frequently opened to ocean or canyon breeze — common in San Diego County homes.
