Why Choose Duette® Vertiglide™?
Designed for Sliding Glass Doors
Unlike traditional vertical blinds that use rotating vanes, Duette® Vertiglide™ shades use cellular fabric that glides smoothly side-to-side. This creates a softer appearance while delivering superior insulation, privacy and light control.
Because the shades travel horizontally, they provide easy access to patios, decks and outdoor living spaces without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Flexible Stacking Options for Your Space
Every room is different, which is why Duette® Vertiglide™ shades can stack to the left, right or center. This flexibility allows you to maintain convenient access through your doors while minimizing the amount of fabric visible when the shade is open.
Your California Window Fashions designer can help determine the best stacking configuration based on furniture placement, traffic flow and daily use.
Energy-Efficient Vertical Shades for Large Windows
Large windows and sliding doors are often the biggest source of unwanted heat gain and heat loss in a home. Duette® Vertiglide™ shades feature the same honeycomb construction found in Duette® Honeycomb Shades, creating insulating air pockets that help improve year-round comfort.
For Northern California homeowners, this means better temperature control, reduced glare and improved energy performance across expansive glass surfaces.
