What to Know About Window Coverings for Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors have larger glass panels than average windows and have hardware such as handles. Their window treatments have three primary duties: insulation, light control, and privacy. The style should also glide smoothly and stack neatly without interfering with the door’s functionality—it has to accommodate that hardware, too. Finally, and just as importantly, it must be pleasing to the eye.

Now that you know the basics, we’ll share our top window treatments for sliding glass doors.

Sliding Glass Door Window Treatment #1

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are ideal for wider expanses of glass. This modern take on vertical blinds has wide, fabric-covered panels and an integrated bottom weight; they slide smoothly along a track. Hunter Douglas customizes them for sliding glass doors and large windows, and you can also use them as room dividers.

This modern sliding glass door window treatment comes in over 450 fabric, texture, and color combinations and stacks tightly when open for unobstructed views.

Sliding Glass Door Window Treatment #2

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters have that sought-after California aesthetic that we love. They’re designed like wood shutters but made from high-quality, UV-resistant vinyl. These shutters resist warping, fading, and cracking, even with frequent sun exposure. They’re perfect for glass doors that get a lot of heat and sun exposure.

These durable and long-lasting shutters are made with Hunter Douglas Polysatin™ material, resin blocks, and aluminum bracing. They come in three light colors and 2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½" louvers. We also customize them to fit traditional and specialty shapes like arches and bay windows.

Sliding Glass Door Window Treatment #3

Duette® Cellular Shades are known for their energy-saving properties, versatility, and sophisticated fabrics. Their honeycomb structure traps air, which regulates indoor temperatures year-round. In the spring and summer, they reduce heat gain, which is especially useful for glass doors facing the sun.

The Duette® Vertiglide™ operating system works as a sliding glass door window treatment with the same fabric selection. There are two style options:

  • Use one shade to cover the entire expanse of a sliding door.
  • Cover the door with a split stack Vertiglide™ shade.

The fabric opacities range from light-filtering to room-darkening, offering flexible control over brightness and privacy. They reduce glare on screens, making them good fits for living rooms or home offices with sliding glass doors.
