The project
Wynnton, Columbus.
A Wynnton ranch with a 96 inch patio slider opening to a back terrace overlooking Lakebottom Park. The previous treatment was a stack of plastic verticals that warped at every Columbus summer. We replaced them with fabric verticals in off-white pleated panels and a valance returned to the wall on each end so the closed position reads as a clean band of fabric rather than as a row of dangling slats.
What we installed
Three details that made the install.
Fabric vertical blinds, off-white
Pleated fabric reads softer than vinyl; the off-white prevents the slider sightline from going dark when closed.
Returned valance
Valance turned 90 degrees and finished against the wall on each end; eliminates the gap that plastic verticals leave.
Center-draw cord
Single pull from the center; the operating end matches the homeowner's preferred side of the slider.
The decision behind it
What fabric vanes fix that plastic ones never did.
The old vanes warped because vinyl and a west-facing Columbus summer do not get along. Fabric vanes hold their shape, hang heavier so they stay put when the door is open, and stack tighter at the jamb. That stack matters on a 96 inch opening, where it has to clear the half of the door people actually walk through.
Returning the valance to the wall at each end is the detail that makes the closed position read as a band of fabric instead of a row of hanging slats. A center draw splits the stack so traffic goes straight out to the terrace. If a slider or a wide opening is your problem too, the vane materials are on our vertical blinds page and the local work is under sliding door window coverings in Columbus.
