Learn about the advantages of Vertiglide™.
-
The Vertiglide™ system reimagines traditional cellular shades for side-to-side operation, making it an ideal choice for sliding glass doors, wide window expanses, or room dividers. It brings the energy efficiency of honeycomb construction to vertical openings without compromising on accessibility or style.
-
Featuring the same insulating cellular structure as standard Duette® and Applause® honeycomb shades, Vertiglide™ helps regulate interior temperatures by trapping air within its cells. This improves thermal performance across large openings—something most vertical treatments cannot offer.
-
Vertiglide™ shades glide horizontally along a sleek track, stacking compactly to one side when open. This side-stack design eliminates the need for bulky drapery or traditional vertical blinds, maintaining a clean, modern profile with minimal footprint.
-
Choose between manual operation with a simple push/pull handle, or PowerView Automation for motorized control. The cordless design enhances child and pet safety while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered look.
-
Unlike traditional vertical blinds that rely on rotating slats, Vertiglide™ provides seamless fabric coverage, offering both light control and privacy in a more streamlined and contemporary format—perfectly tailored to patio doors and wide window spans.
-
Available in a range of opacity levels, from soft light-filtering to full room-darkening. This flexibility allows you to control light and privacy in high-traffic areas without sacrificing comfort or aesthetic appeal.
-
Customize how your Vertiglide™ shade opens—stack left, right, or split-draw—depending on your window or door layout. This adaptability ensures both ease of use and visual balance in any room.
-
Vertiglide™ allows for matching vertical and horizontal shades within the same room. Pair your vertical shade on doors with coordinating Duette® or Applause® shades on adjacent windows for a seamless, unified look.
-
When fully open, the Vertiglide™ shade stacks neatly and compactly to the side, preserving your view and natural light—without the visual clutter or obstruction common in other vertical treatments.
-
Engineered for smooth and quiet gliding, Vertiglide™ operates effortlessly with durable internal components. Whether manual or motorized, it offers consistent and dependable functionality over time.
-
For those seeking a softer, more energy-efficient, and modern alternative to traditional vertical blinds, Vertiglide™ delivers with style, innovation, and performance tailored to today’s living spaces.
-
The high-performance fabrics are resistant to fading, sagging, and wrinkling, making Vertiglide™ a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution, even in high-traffic or sun-exposed areas.
