Windows that are taller than they are wide and raise and lower are often better suited for horizontal window coverings, while windows that are wider than they are tall and slide from side to side are often better suited for vertical window coverings.

You may also want to consider horizontal window fashions because they can enhance a room's informality and coziness. On the other hand, vertical blinds or privacy sheers, which are constructed of soft fabric vertical vanes, can add height and dignity to a room.

If you'd like to jump over to Our Products section to see specific product details, we can recommend a few places for you to start:

Horizontal

• Some of our most popular horizontal blinds include Silhouette^® Window Shadings, Vignette^® Window Shadings and Duette^® Honeycomb Shades.

Vertical

• Our Innerstyle^® Collection offers a wide variety of vertical blinds for patio and French doors and side-opening windows. Available in hundreds of colors in fabric, vinyl and aluminum styles.
  
  
• The soft fabric vanes of our Luminette^® Privacy Sheers provide excellent light control for French or patio doors.
  
  
• For vertically oriented honeycomb shades, consider Duette Vertiglide^®. This design option is the ideal solution for especially large patio or French doors, since the construction of the honeycomb shade significantly reduces heat gain or heat loss.
