Vertical blinds
Vertical blinds hang as vertical vanes from a track and draw to one side or split in the middle. The vanes rotate to control light. They're a practical choice for sliding doors and wide windows, because you can walk through them and they stack neatly out of the way.

Questions about vertical blinds
What blinds are best for sliding doors?
Vertical blinds and panel blinds, because they draw sideways and you can walk through them. Vertical blinds give tilt control; panel blinds give a cleaner, more contemporary look.
Are vertical blinds outdated?
Not when they're well chosen. Modern fabrics and neutral colours look clean and current, and nothing else handles a wide sliding door as practically.
