Alternatives to Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
Shutters are an excellent choice for sliding glass doors, but you may find yourself wondering what alternative window treatments for these doors are out there. If so, we're here to tell you that you have many options, and Rico's Window Coverings & Films in Sacramento, CA, offers them all! Whether you prefer the easy operation of panel-track blinds, the practicality and affordability of vertical blinds, or the contemporary style of sliding panels, our team has you covered. Let's explore all of these options further to help you decide.
Modernize Your Home with Stylish Panel-Track Blinds
Panel-track blinds are a modern window treatment with sliding panels on a track. They are straightforward to operate and glide seamlessly to open and close to control light and privacy. Their panels are perfect for the modern home and create a clean, minimalist appearance. Panels can be of various materials, including:
- Fabric: cotton, linen, polyester, and acrylic.
- Wood: natural wood such as bamboo or faux wood made from PVC or composite material.
- Solar screen: specialized materials that reduce heat, glare, and UV radiation.
Hunter Douglas blinds for sliding glass doors, including Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds, come in over 450 colors, so you will be sure to find a shade that complements your decor beautifully. Did you know you can use these panel-track blinds as a room divider when mounted on the ceiling?
Achieve a Streamlined Look with Vertical Blinds for Sliding Doors
Vertical blinds feature stylish and vertical slats that hang from a top rail. On a sliding glass door, they provide a streamlined look, covering the entire door area. You can draw the blinds to the side for a full view outside or adjust the vertical panels for precise light control. Their flexibility and ease of use make them a favorite sliding glass door window treatment.
An example of high-quality vertical blinds is Hunter Douglas Cadence® Vertical Blinds. These blinds combine the look of soft drapery with the practicality of vertical blinds. They absorb sound, operate smoothly, and come in various fabrics and colors.
Maximize Your Space with Luminette® Sheer Panels
While Luminette® Sheer Panels from Hunter Douglas aren't blinds, they are an excellent option for sliding glass doors. These sheers provide a soft, flowing visual effect for your sliding glass door, reducing UV rays entering your home. You can also see through the sheers, allowing you to enjoy the view outside your sliding glass door.
