The only blind that walks with the door.

Vertical blinds hang louvres from a top track and rotate 180°, then stack to one or both sides. They are the only blind designed around doors and wide glass — everything else fights them.

Why verticals own sliding doors

  • They move like the door: stack left, right or split — the opening stays fully clear
  • One track, any width: 6 ft balcony door or 15 ft of living-room glass, same system
  • Walk-through: louvres swing if brushed — no crumpled fabric like a roller mid-door
  • Deep coverage: handles and grille bars clear easily

Louvre width and material

89 mm is the standard louvre — clean look, good coverage. 127 mm suits very tall glass (fewer louvres, quieter). Fabrics: dim-out polyesters for living areas, PVC for kitchens/bathrooms (wipeable), sunscreen weaves for glare-with-view on balconies.

Common complaints, answered

  1. "They look office-y": the 90s grey-plastic era is over — linen-texture and printed louvres now read residential
  2. "They rattle in wind": bottom-chain stabilisers + fabric weights fix it; we fit both standard
  3. "They get dusty": vertical surfaces hold far less dust than horizontals — see cleaning guide

Vertical blinds price

The most economical style we sell — from ₹45/sq ft (PVC louvres), fabric grades upward, per billable sq ft with the standard 10 sq ft minimum (full math in blinds pricing). A 7 ft × 7 ft balcony door in PVC starts around ₹2,200 + install + GST.
