Installing Vertical Cellular Shades As A Closet Door

- We tend to think way outside the box. This is no exception. We installed vertical cellular shades as a closet door. In our humble opinion, it is more practical and we like the look.

It isn't inexpensive as putting up curtains for closet doors, but we think it has a nice look and it is not much different from accordion doors, we figured.... why not? 😄
Love the video and I learn so much about home improvement projects that I never knew from your all’s channel. Seems like a pretty straight forward install on those.
You are far too kind but we really have no idea what we are doing. LOL
I love your innovative use of products in unique ways for unusual purposes. This looks fantastic and super practical!
Thanks so much!
Hello Richard & Jennifer, this looks a practical solution to covering space & you’ve shared it very well, carry on being good honest content creators 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so very much for such kind words. We appreciate it so very much!!!
I love your idea. I was thinking of putting a pull down shade on my linen closet door, but your udea looks even better. Thank you for sharing this great idea.
We are tickled pink to hear you like our idea. To be honest, we enjoy ideas that require thinking outside the box and we really like your pull down shade idea... a lot. Being old and no longer very flexible, it would be tougher for me to pull a shade down to the floor but a motorized, Alexa compatible pull down shade sounds awesome. Thank you so very much for taking the time to watch our video and for leaving such a wonderful comment
That's such a great idea. I'm going to use it on my laundry closet. Thanks
Wonderful! If you do... make a video. We would love to watch it!
Hi Both, That looks fantastic. Great installation as well. Another great video. Take care both. Cheers, Huw
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a really idea. Y’all did a great job
I say this sincerely... such a comment from the master of great ideas, is truly an honor! Thank you!!!
That looks Great, nice idea Guys 👍 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks clean and nice, great job on the install and the instructions good idea to use the blind as a close out.
However I don’t really think it was a fair fight, the base board came to the fright without any makita tools.
Not my fault if someone brings a knife to a gunfight. LOL
I just found your video and this was exactly what I was imagining! I really want to replace all our bifold doors on our new home, and the previous owner has installed vertical cellular shades on the patio door and I thought it would be perfect for the closets... and there you are giving me exact instructions! Thank you! A question though, did you use the regular light permeable cellular shades, or did you order the blackout version? Yours look quite opaque, and I want to make sure we don't see the contents of the closets through the shade.
Nice video. Great option. Mahalo for sharing! : ) 🐒
Thanks for watching!
Ironically, I bet there is some multi-million dollar home that has an elaborate version of this idea for their doors. It looks great and gives your home unique feature.
On a different note, I think you need to look at where your ads are being placed on your videos. They are playing sometimes when you are mid-sentence or at the last few seconds.
I had not thought about it, but you are probably right. Some auto opening vertical shade for a closet the size of our house. LOL!! I was not aware I can place ads in a specific location. I will need to research that. Thank you so very much for taking the time to point this out!
Great job Richard and Jennifer! I think this is a great idea and I might even need to steal it one day! As this moves horizontally, why do you call it a vertical cellular shade?
Hmm! I didnt name it so I will submit a complaint to the manufacturer. LOL!!!😂😂😂
Thanks for this idea. I have small bathroom opening and I think this will solve my privacy. Old folding doors are just too bulky.
We are thrilled to hear this helped. If you decide to try this yourself, we would love to hear how it turned out. Thank you for watching and for your comment
👍👍👍👍 like it
Thanks for liking
Hi, wondering how it's holding up. Also, do you think it can take some abuse? Wondering if this concept could work and last for a kids game closet.
I had never thought about that but it is a real good question. After thinking about it, I realized the shades are actually made for Windows. If children are rough on window blinds, then they certainly can do damage to these being used as closet doors. That being said, the shades are holding up very well for us and we are super pleased that it worked out so well for us. I hope this helps answer your question. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for making and posting this video. Can you please detail a bit how you went about attaching the rollers? Within minute 4 of your video... What are the things you grab onto with pliers and why are they sticking out of the shade? Can you post the brand name / maker of the shade?
I am so very sorry. I made this video a long while back and I dont remember exactly what I did. I do recall, the provided instructions were very confusing. I will have to take a look to try and remember exactly what I did. Sorry I do not have a better answer for you
Thanks so much for this video. It’s a great idea. I would like to do it for my bedroom closet, which is 48 inches wide and 96 inches tall. How did you order it? Did you list the width as the height and the height as the width? I’m trying to understand how you Ended up getting the bracket at the top of the closet for what would’ve been the side of the shades
We purchased these as custom blinds. There were a few companies that custom make these to order. When placing the order, you provide measurements and if the shade will be inside the window sill or outside. Although we used it for a closet, we simply indicated it was for an inside curtain and they provided the proper hardware/brackets, to mount it in the closet.
Thank you for the wonderful question
Thanks so much for your response.
any suggestions for someone who doesn't want to cut the baseboard?
GREAT QUESTION!!! Off the top of my head, I can think of two possible solutions. 1 - purchase the shades at a length that will not reach the baseboard (only problem is the wide opening at the bottom. 2 - use vertical blinds and then cut the edge blinds to fit over the baseboard. We hope this helps but if you have more questions, please feel free to reach out to us and we will do our best to find a proper resolution. BTW, thank you so very much for watching our video and for your insightful question
Awesome, this is what I was looking for. How much it costs??
It has been a while but I believe it was around $200. Keep in mind, it depends on the quality of the curtain you order. There will certainly be some more expensive and some that may be cheaper. Thank you for watching our video. We appreciate it very much.
👍
Thank you for watching Mr Joseph!
This is looking great but what it is called and is it available in pakistan?
Thank you so very much. We are very happy that think it looks great. It is called a "Vertical Cellular Shades". They are normally used on windows, we just decided to use them for the closet. I am very sorry but I do not know if you can obtain it in Pakistan or not.
@@Poor_Mans_DIY ok thank you very much
I need help, what does it mean left to right for the rail? I need it explained as I am new to this
It is taking about the direction your curtains open. left to right means the bulk of the curtain is on the left when the curtain is open. To close the curtain, you move from left to right. You can order curtains that open from right to left. I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, let me know and we will do our best to answer them.
@@Poor_Mans_DIY in the video what did you do and what should you have done and what did you do to correct it?
I took off my closet doors and I need a solution to replace them . My problem is it's a basement apartment and I need something safe since the water heater is in this closet.
Just an idea off the top of my head, maybe plastic or vinyl vertical blinds can work. I have seen plenty of people use curtains as closet doors and curtains are intended for windows so why cant vertical blinds serve the same purpose. Plastic and vinyl should not be affected by the water heater. If your local big box store sells blinds, I am sure you can ask them about vertical blinds being safe to a heat source or not. We hope you find a resolution and hope to hear how things work out for you.
Did you have to order a special pair of blinds that allowed for them to go sideways like this? I don’t see anything on the site that talks about it…
We did have to special order the blinds for the size but the blinds themselves are are just ordinary vertical blinds. they are designed for windows and sliding glass doors. we just used them for closet doors, instead. If you search blinds , use "Vertical Cellular Shades" or "Vertical Cellular Blinds" or "Vertical Blackout Shades", you will probably find many options. Thank you for watching our video and taking the time to leave a comment.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much. You made us smile big time!
good look, but could be problematic with pets
Brilliant point! I had not thought about that. Then again, you could make it from steel and some pets find a way to mess things up. LOL Thank you so very much for watching the video and for your comment.
@@Poor_Mans_DIY I have had issues with my bifold doors falling off vertically. I can't figure out what the problem is so I have looked for a solution. I'm tempted to just remove them and put up curtains. The rods are expensive for 6 to 8 feet and often begin to sag in places after use. My hack is to use copper plumbing pipe! In most cases it is less expensive, Never sags! The only trouble is I haven't figured out the end caps. I should probably ask a plumber. LOL!
