Custom Vertical Blinds Jefferson – Free Installation

Outside, above the opening, in nearly every case. An inside mount puts the headrail where the vanes have to clear the track and the handle, and builder frames rarely leave enough depth for that. Mounting on the wall above lets the vanes hang past the frame on both sides, which also closes the light gap down the edges.

Tilting handles it without giving up the door. Rotating the vanes toward the sun deflects the beam upward while the room keeps its light, which works better than a blind that has to come all the way down. For a door that takes the sun straight on, ask for a room-darkening vane so a full close actually darkens the room.

Better than most treatments, because the damage is repairable. A dog pushing through bends vanes or pops them off their carriers, and those clip back on in seconds. If a vane creases badly it swaps out on its own. We keep the vane profile and colour on file, so a replacement years later still matches what is on the rail.

The ones we install do. Corded window covering rules in Canada tightened in 2022, and the practical result is that wand-operated verticals with no accessible loop are now the standard build. That is what goes on a family home by default. Where a chain-and-cord version is used on a very wide door, it comes with a tension device that anchors the loop to the wall.
