Vertical blinds have been a favorite window covering for sliding doors and french doors for some time. This is because vertical blinds have vanes that go from the floor to the top of the window and open or close sideways. Once open, the door is unobstructed for opening and closing. Vertical blinds have veins that can be turned at different angles to control light and let people see out while the blinds are closed.
