Designer Choice Window Treatments for Sliding Glass Doors

Make every door a window and every window a door with Deja Blue Home Staging and Interior Design. Sliding glass doors make your room look more spacious, allow you to appreciate your outdoors, and let in large swathes of glowing sunlight-sunlight that is welcome until it’s six in the morning. Also, like any undressed window, uncovered glass doors let the heat and cold in indiscriminately. To make your room more comfortable and private, your sliding glass doors should be covered by high-quality, high-performing window treatments like those from Hunter Douglas. While nearly all Hunter Douglas window treatments can be custom fit to a sliding glass door, we’ve picked out a few that truly let light shine-or keep it from leaking in before you’re ready.

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers, sheers and shadings, sheer shades, sheer blinds, Redwood City, California (CA)

Designer’s choice window treatments for sliding glass doors include:

Honeycomb Shades

Duette® Honeycomb Shades have long been prized for both their insulation and light diffusion properties. They are among the most innovative and customizable window treatments Hunter Douglas has to offer, available in different cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, and textures, including special selections from the exclusive Alustra® Collection. They are compatible with over ten Hunter Douglas operating systems, including Vertiglide™, which allows window treatments to open side-to-side-perfect for a sliding glass door. Other compatible operating systems include LightLock™ and PowerView®: The LightLock™ system has been specifically engineered to give Duette® Honeycomb Shades the ultimate room-darkening capability, and PowerView® lets you operate your blinds with a remote or even your smartphone. No more shivering in the cold at night or being blinded by sunlight in the morning when your sliding glass doors are improved with these honeycomb shades!

Vertical Blinds

The convenience of vertical blinds was realized in the 90’s, and they’ve been a wide-window favorite ever since. Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds are the epitome of what vertical blinds should be: versatile. Accent your room’s décor with printed fabrics and minimalistic vinyl or make a visual statement with eye-catching metallics.  Depending on the material you choose, Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds can even reduce outside noise, letting these vertical blinds amaze with both their phenomenal light and sound control. They can be operated by an easy chain and cord, a wand for pet and child safety, or a button with the Hunter Douglas motorized operating system for vertical blinds. Their customizability, like Duette® Honeycomb Shades, make Somner® Custom Vertical Blinds a stellar option for sliding glass doors.

Vertical Sheers

Luminette® Privacy Sheers diffuse light like shades but open and close like blinds for incredible functionality. With Luminette®, you can illuminate your room with soft light without compromising on your privacy: their vertical vanes rotate 180 degrees for privacy and light control.  Additionally, when the sheers are closed, their SofTrak™ hardware system is tactfully obscured. The sheer fabrics are also available in Accents by the Yard™ with a wide range of textures and colors to complement the rest of your room’s décor.
