Vertical blinds handle the windows horizontal blinds can't — sliding patio doors, wide picture windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The slats are vertical, hung from a top track, and slide open to one or both sides. Penn Shades installs vertical blinds for Pittsburgh-area homes and businesses, in PVC, fabric, and aluminum slat options.
Signs You Need Vertical Blinds
You have a sliding patio door and the standard horizontal blinds bunch awkwardly and never look right. You have a wide picture window where horizontal slats would sag in the middle. You have a wall of glass — three or four windows in a row — and want one continuous treatment. You want budget-friendly coverage of a large opening that drapery would cost much more for.
Modern panel track blinds are the alternative to traditional verticals for the same use cases and look more contemporary. We'll talk through which is right for your room during the consultation.
Our Vertical Blinds Options
Within vertical blinds we offer PVC (most common — durable, low cost, dozens of colors), fabric (textile-look slats for a softer aesthetic), and aluminum (commercial-grade, durable, sleek). Slat widths run 3.5-inch (standard) and wider options for larger openings. The headrail (top track) controls how the slats stack — left, right, or center — and we plan that based on traffic flow.
Operation is via wand (most common) or cord. Motorized verticals are available for commercial and large residential installs. The slats can be tilted to control light just like horizontal blinds, and they slide open as a group when you want the whole opening exposed.
Vertical Blinds for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Vertical blinds are most common in Pittsburgh homes with walkout basements, sliding patio doors to back decks, and wide picture windows facing the yard — typical of suburban builds across Cranberry, Wexford, Bethel Park, and Mt. Lebanon. They're also common in condos and apartments with floor-to-ceiling glass (Strip District, Mt. Washington, North Shore towers).
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.

Why Choose Penn Shades for Vertical Blinds
Vertical headrails need to be sized and installed correctly — too short and the slats don't fully retract; too long and they look awkward. We measure carefully. Family-owned, Moon Township-based, licensed and insured Pennsylvania installers. Lifetime workmanship warranty.
