These high traffic areas of your home need solid solutions, and oftentimes, homeowners have so many questions about what might work to cover doors, that they get overwhelmed. Let’s explore some of the most frequently asked questions…
Are there specific types of sliding door window treatments?
There are window coverings that are designed to cover the doors of your home, but you’re not limited to just those. For sliding doors, it’s possible to get blinds, shades, shutters and drapery that will open sideways–matching the movement of the door. However, many regular, horizontal shades can be used–depending on the layout of your home. For patio doors and french doors, it’s possible to use almost any window covering types to cover the glass panes. We do have the TrackGlide system, designed to cover glass pane doors with very little framing around the window.
How do you attach window covering for glass doors?
For sliding glass door window treatments, the coverings hang down from the attached area–either mounted on the top trim of the door, or wall-mounted. Vertical blinds, vertical cellular shades and draperies hang from specific types of tracks that allow them to open and close easily. Patio door shades and french door blinds are installed above the window glass portion of the door, similar to the way they would be attached for a window. The TrackGlide system allows you to attach window coverings without drilling into the door. Instead, these honeycomb shades are guided along a track that adheres to the surface of the frame.
What features can you get with patio door window treatments?
Most features that are available with normal window coverings are still available when you are covering doors. Some of the favorites are smart shades, cordless operation, top down bottom up, energy efficiency, dual shades and room darkening.
Should the shades for glass doors match the other shades?
It’s not important that everything “matches,” but coordination is key. Pairing coordinating fabrics will allow you to have the right shades for glass doors for the function of each window or door. You’ll love the resulting look of how everything flows together, but it also creates the best atmosphere in your home.
What can be done about the door handles?
When it comes to the function of your doors, the door handles are a very important consideration. Whether you have knobs or levers, being able to open and close the door with the shades in place is a priority. French door shutters door handle cut-outs are popular for this reason. You can also customize the width of the blinds and shades so as not to interfere with the handle.
