Best Window Treatments for Sliding Doors

Best Window Treatments for Sliding Doors

Many homes feature sliding glass doors as a beautiful and functional option. These glass doors provide easy access to the outdoors as well as revealing a great view of your yard. They let in plenty of light and allow you to combine the outdoors and indoors seamlessly together in one room. But when you want some privacy or to control the light coming into your home, it's important to find the right window covering for your sliding door that will combine functionality and aesthetic.

Finding the Right Window Coverings for Sliding Glass Doors

With so many Hunter Douglas window treatment options available that can be customized to cover sliding doors, it's important to note that some are just better suited for large expansive windows simply because they traverse horizontally and this makes them easier to operate. Also, you should note that you will want to make sure that whatever window covering you choose does not It's important to consider that sliding glass doors open horizontally so the blinds or shades that you choose should not interfere with the opening of the door or the walkway created when the doors are open. In other words, you don't want to walk into the window treatment while the door is open. The best window treatments for sliding glass doors are privacy sheers, shutters, vertical blinds and vertical cellular shades.

Privacy Sheers for Patio and Sliding Glass Doors

Privacy sheers have the functional benefits of vertical blinds with the classic elegance of draperies that beautifully diffuse natural light and create a soft ambiance in the room. Our Luminette® Privacy Sheers are available in a wide range of fabrics, textures, and colors, and even some room darkening options and can accommodate widths of up to 192" and heights up to 120", making them perfect for patio doors or sliding glass doors.Luminette® Privacy Sheers

Shutters for Sliding Doors

Shutters are a great choice for sliding glass doors, as they provide privacy when fully closed but are easy to open for letting in all that natural light. Shutters are also highly durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like the living room or kitchen, where your family might be going in and out of your sliding glass doors often. Keep in mind that in areas with high heat or humidity, you may want to consider a hybrid or non-wood shutter like our Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. They have the look of finely painted shutters, but are guaranteed to never warp, crack, fade, chip, peel or discolor, regardless of extreme heat or moisture.Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters

Vertical Sliding Door Blinds

One of the most common type of window treatments used for sliding doors is definitely vertical blinds. These window treatments are great for larger windows, like those in sliding glass doors, thanks to how easy they are to customize. Vertical blinds are available in a wide range of materials, including fabric, vinyl and aluminum, so you can choose the material that best fits your needs and home aesthetic. These blinds and they open side to side and help control light and privacy. A stylish option to consider for your sliding door would be the Skyline® Gliding Window Panels.
