What is a Window Treatment for Sliding Glass Doors?
If you have a deck, patio, or porch, then you know that your sliding glass doors are one of the most essential features in your home. They offer an expansive place to enter and exit your home and allow for generous amounts of natural light to pour in through their wide glass panels. But sometimes, these features can require some coverage for you to get the best use out of your space.
Today, our Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center team is pleased to discuss a few of our favorite sliding glass door window treatment ideas and the benefits of adding these elements into your home.
The Benefits of Sliding Glass Door Window Treatments
- Elevated Design: Adding a window treatment to your sliding glass door will instantly increase your room’s design appeal. Your sliding doors take up a large portion of wall space and adding window treatments brings pops of color, texture, and pattern, making your largest door a focal point.
- Advanced Light Control: Since large expanses of glass, such as sliding doors, let in so much light, a window treatment will offer more light control. You can open the treatment in the early morning when the sun is less intense, and then as the light gains strength during the day, you can close the treatment to protect your home from harsh UV rays.
- Additional Privacy: Privacy is always a priority if your sliding glass door faces a busy street or is in your bedroom. Window treatments will keep your home private and secure. Choose window treatments like sheer panels to allow a scenic view but prevent those passing your home from seeing in.
- Interior Climate Control: Nothing is better than a decreased energy bill. While sliding glass doors offer generous light, they also let in vast amounts of hot and cold air. Vertical cellular shades and shutters are two great solutions for controlling your climate and enjoying a comfortable living space.
Our Favorite Sliding Glass Door Window Treatment Ideas
- Luminette® Sheer Panels are an excellent choice for adding a glow and coverage to your sliding glass door. They are perfect for large expanses of glass, and their rotating fabric vanes allow for superior light, view-through, and privacy control. You can select from a generous array of luxurious fabrics to highlight your door even more.
- Duette® Cellular Shades are the go-to window treatment if you prioritize additional insulating properties. These innovative shades trap hot or cold air within their honeycomb pockets so it does not enter your home. They are the most energy-preserving window treatments available and will guarantee energy consumption reduction. We offer these shades with the Vertiglide™ system, which offers seamless vertical operation.
- Somner® Vertical Blinds are the perfect option if you like the functional operation of vertical blinds but are interesting in a performance and aesthetic upgrade. You can choose from many material styles, including fabric, aluminum metal, and vinyl slats in a variety of over 170 colors and textures. These blinds move smoothly and stack neatly to either side, split, or center. You can enjoy effortless light management by simply adjusting the louvers.
