3 Innovative Window Treatments for Sliding Glass Doors

If you’re lucky enough to have sliding glass doors in your home, you probably appreciate their indoor-outdoor connectivity and abundance of natural light. Some people prefer to leave them uncovered, but that doesn’t control the light coming in or guard privacy.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades near Richardson, Texas (TX)

Our design team at Smartlooks Window & Wall Decor understands the challenges of finding window coverings for sliding glass doors and recommends custom shades that fit perfectly and accommodate handrails and other hardware. We selected three innovative window treatments and think you’ll like them as much as we do.

Vertical Cellular Shades for Sliding Glass Doors

Duette® Cellular Shades are one of the most versatile products that Hunter Douglas offers. You can order them in vertical profiles designed with sliding glass doors in mind with Duette® with Vertiglide™. These shades have a unique cellular construction with air pockets that trap air and provide excellent insulation. The vertical orientation of Duette® with Vertiglide™ makes them ideal for sliding glass doors, with smooth operation and no interference with door functionality.

Duette® Cellular Shades provide privacy without sacrificing natural light. When closed, they create a soft, diffused glow and can be raised when needed. They’re available in over 150 color and fabric choices and come with cordless options like PowerView® Automation.

Woven Wood Shades for Sliding Glass Doors

Offered in over 80 fabrics and colors, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades provide a natural, textured alternative for sliding glass doors. They’re made from bamboo, reeds, and grasses and finished with a unique weaving process. That creates a light-filtering effect that illuminates a room and offers moderate privacy.

These modern shades are available in various designs, from tight weaves providing more privacy to looser ones allowing more light. They’re surprisingly durable, too, with minimal breaking, bowing, or stretching. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be ordered in Roman, Waterfall Roman, Recessed Roman, and Vertical Drapery styles.

Privacy-Enhancing Sheers for Sliding Glass Doors

Luminette® Sheer Panels feature an innovative, elegant combination of sheer fabric panels and integrated 3 ½” vertical vanes. This window treatment for sliding glass doors also won a coveted industry award: The 2022 Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) Product of the Year.

Designed with large expanses of glass in mind, Luminette® Sheer Panels are available in different opacities and textures. You’ll enjoy the benefits of sheer draperies with the functionality of vertical blinds. When closed, the sheer panels diffuse incoming light while maintaining outward views. You rotate the vertical vanes to direct sunlight and provide privacy. Its luxury fabrics work well with many decor schemes; you can customize them further with different control options.
