Vertical Window Treatments for Sliding Glass Doors

Traditionally when people picture a window treatment, it’s blinds or shades that are pulled up by a cord. Those types of coverings work great for traditional windows but are less effective for sliding glass doors. You don’t want to have to open a window treatment entirely to access your door—it would not only be aesthetically unpleasing but also a safety risk! At Southern Window Treatments, we offer several different options that will work wonderfully for your patio doors.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™Shutters Vertical Window Treatments, Shades, Shutters, Sheers, near Tallahassee, Florida (FL).

This window treatment is the obvious choice. With vanes that hang vertically along a track and can be rotated for light control as well as moved for door access, vertical blinds are an efficient and straightforward solution. We offer fabric, vinyl, aluminum, and genuine wood finishes in various colors.

Known for their beauty and durability, shutters are a fantastic choice for sliding glass doors. All three of our Hunter Douglas shutters, Heritance® Hardwood, NewStyle® Hybrid, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™, can be constructed with the bi-fold or bypass track system. Both of these systems will allow you easy access to your doors, and the durability of the materials makes them perfect for high-traffic areas.

These stunning natural shades are made from woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. Accentuating the beautiful imperfections of the natural world, they bring an artisanal look into your home. The vertical drapery style is easy to operate, and the weaving techniques used minimize stretching, bowing, and breaking. Let some of the natural world in and still make it easy to get out.

This window treatment combines a soft folded sheer drapery with vertical fabric vanes. You get added light and privacy control by rotating the vanes while the soft sheers give your windows a classic, elegant look. Bring beautiful, diffused light into your home, and easily access your sliding glass doors.

We have already discussed the energy efficiency of these shades at length on this blog. Their cellular design traps air to help insulate your home and maintain internal temperatures despite the weather outside. With the Vertiglide™ operating system, you can get these benefits on your sliding glass doors as well. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can also be designed to open from either side so you can allow light in anywhere along the length of your door.
