Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds

Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds offer Hunter Douglas's most comprehensive vertical blind selection—the widest range of materials, colors, and textures for sliding doors and large windows. From sophisticated fabrics to durable vinyls to sleek aluminum, Somner® provides options for every design direction and functional requirement.

Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds

The Most Versatile Vertical Collection

Somner® represents Hunter Douglas's flagship vertical blind line—where customization meets quality.

The Most Versatile Vertical Collection

Four Material Categories

Somner® fabrics bring softness and texture to vertical blinds. Woven materials in cotton, linen, and polyester blends create warmth that vinyl can't match. These fabric vanes rotate like traditional verticals while delivering the aesthetic of custom drapery—ideal for living rooms and bedrooms.

Somner® vinyls prioritize durability and easy maintenance. Smooth finishes wipe clean effortlessly; embossed textures add visual interest. For contemporary spaces, grooved aluminum vanes deliver sleek, metallic sophistication. Perforated options filter light while maintaining view-through—popular for offices and media rooms.

Four Material Categories

Designed for Sliding Doors

Somner® excels at covering sliding patio doors—the application where vertical blinds shine. The 3½" vanes traverse smoothly across wide spans, stacking compactly to one side for full door access. One-way draw stacks all vanes to left or right; split-draw opens from center for symmetric operation.

For extra-wide doors or window walls, Somner® handles spans up to 192 inches in single units. Even larger openings use multiple blinds on a shared headrail for coordinated operation. Our installers configure your blinds for optimal traffic flow and aesthetic balance.

  • Traverse operation matches sliding door function
  • Stack compactly for full door access
  • One-way or split-draw configurations
  • Cover spans up to 192" in single units
  • Multiple blinds for larger openings
  • Self-aligning vanes for consistent appearance

Common Questions

Somner® uses premium materials with Hunter Douglas's precision headrail system—vanes hang straight, rotate smoothly, and traverse reliably for years. Cheap verticals use flimsy vanes and plastic components that warp, break, and operate poorly. The difference is visible and functional.
Somner® fabric vanes add softness and texture, but they're still flat vertical vanes. For a true drapery-like appearance with curved, flowing fabric, consider \1 or \1.
Vinyl—it's durable, easy to clean, and resists moisture and cooking residue. Avoid fabric near cooking areas where grease and odors can accumulate. Smooth vinyl vanes wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Yes. Hunter Douglas offers motorization for Somner® verticals, controlling both traverse (open/close) and rotation (tilt). PowerView® integration enables app and voice control. Motorization is especially valuable for large or multiple sliding doors.
Somner® handles spans up to 192 inches (16 feet) in single units, depending on material selection. For wider openings, we use multiple blinds on a shared headrail for coordinated operation. Our consultants design solutions for any opening size.
