Hubbard’s Custom Blinds & Framing Gallery offers several stylish options; let us help you choose the right window treatments for your sliding glass doors.

Why Should I Cover Sliding Glass Doors?

Sliding glass doors offer a beautiful focal point to a room, but adding window treatments doesn’t mean sacrificing the structure’s beauty. Window coverings provide much more than privacy. Covering sliding glass doors gives you control over incoming light to darken a room for an afternoon nap or eliminate annoying glares while watching your favorite TV show.

Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors

Vertical blinds have wide vanes that provide more light control and privacy on large expanses of glass. They open to the side, making large sets easy to operate so you can still enjoy your view. Vertical blinds are incredibly customizable, and you can use them in any interior design.

Hunter Douglas offers a variety of vertical blinds for sliding glass doors, including:

  • Somner® Vertical Blinds: Somner® Vertical Blinds offers the most custom options, including over 170 material and color combinations. The 3 ½” vanes come in sleek metal, textured vinyl, and statement fabric.
  • Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds: These blinds are ideal for homeowners who want their vertical window coverings to complement the room subtly. Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds have a curated neutral color palette with fabric and vinyl vanes.
  • Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds capture your attention when added to sliding glass doors. The gliding panels come in over 450 colors and materials and two-panel sizes to accent every décor.

Shades for Sliding Glass Doors

Fabric shades are an outstanding alternative for covering sliding glass doors. They add visual interest and texture to your doors, and their lightweight construction allows for effortless lifting and lowering.

Many Hunter Douglas shades are compatible with PowerView® Automation, including three options:

  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades: Sheer shades softly diffuse sunlight into an inviting glow while providing substantial UV protection. Pirouette® Sheer Shades have adjustable fabric vanes and a delicate sheer backing that allow you to enjoy daytime privacy without darkening the room.
  • Duette® Cellular Shades: Duette® Cellular Shades provide unmatched insulation at the window, which is beneficial for doors with oversized glass panes. The cordless Vertiglide™ system opens to the side and has dual operation, so you can control them manually or with PowerView® Automation.
  • Vignette® Roman Shades: Vignette® Roman Shades are a modern take on an elegant shade design with a clean aesthetic, three opacities, and exceptional light control. Choose from full or flat folds in over 25 colors and materials and rolling or stacking styles.
