Are cordless vertical shades safe around kids and pets?

Yes. With no hanging cords, there is nothing for a child or pet to get caught in, which is the main reason shoppers choose cordless over corded vertical blinds.

Can these be used on a sliding glass door?

Yes. Vertical shades are the standard choice for sliding doors and wide windows because the vanes stack to the side and draw across the glass.

How do I measure for a vertical shade?

Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the window and use the narrowest figure, then measure the drop on the left, center and right and use the longest. Order to those figures so the shade covers the opening.

What is included with the shade?

The shade comes with its mounting hardware. Check the box contents on arrival for the brackets and any valance or track parts before installation.

How do these compare with horizontal blinds?

Vertical vanes suit wide openings and doors, while horizontal blinds give finer light control on standard windows. Vertical shades are the better fit for patio doors.
