Our Favorite Window Coverings for Sliding Glass Doors

Vertical Treatments

This is one of the more popular window coverings for sliding doors. Vertical blinds and shades heighten doors, making rooms appear more expansive. We carry a wide array of vertical blinds and shades, including fabric, vinyl, wood, and aluminum, in various textures, patterns, and colors that will enhance any interior motif.

Duette® Cellular Shades

Traditionally, a horizontal window treatment. But we also offer them in vertical pleats with the Vertiglide™ operating system. You can opt to have one shade or split the shade into two that operate independently. The vertical pleats stack neatly to one or both sides. Since sliding doors let in so much air, these cellular shades trap air within their honeycomb pockets, keeping your home comfortable in all seasons.

Shutters

Shutters are another excellent option because of their advanced durability. They are perfect for high-traffic areas, and we offer three different styles of shutters: natural wood, vinyl, and composite. If your sliding glass door is in your kitchen, poolroom, or bathroom, vinyl or composite are the best choices, as these materials stand up to moisture and humidity. Natural wood adds warmth and architectural appeal to living, family, or bedroom sliding glass doors.

Woven Wood Shades

This is a perfect fit if you want to add an earth-loving vibe to your sliding door. Our Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are available in natural woods, reeds, bamboo, and grasses. They are hand-crafted, so each shade is an original work of art. These shades are also available in a vertical drapery style to give your sliding glass door a texturized, flowing aesthetic.

Automate Your Sliding Glass Door Covering

With advances in modern technology, window treatments have come a long way. Why not enjoy some of the perks of adding automation to your sliding glass door? PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas is an innovative system that offers effortless light and privacy management. You can control your sliding glass door treatment with an app, remote, voice, or smart home system. It's that easy and well worth the investment.
