Stylish Window Treatments for Doors

You outfit your windows with gorgeous, upscale window treatments but often neglect to give doors in your home the same treatment. Patio doors and sliding glass doors let in as much light, heat, and views from the outside as other windows in your home. Our designers at Advanced Window Fashions have put together a guide for choosing the best window treatments for your doors to make your shopping process easier when it comes to fitting your home with fabulous treatments for your doors.

Sliding Glass Doors

Do you believe covering your sliding glass doors is impossible due to their size? The good news is that you have many stylish options to maximize light and privacy control with our window treatment options at Advanced Window Fashions. Vertical blinds are the usual go-to for sliding glass doors because they are easier to operate than horizontal treatments on a large scale.

Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds are a fantastic option if you want to keep your glass doors in the background and not as a focal point in a room. The minimalist design is available in both fabric and vinyl options. If you’re more fashion-forward, Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds offer the luxurious aesthetic of drapery paired with the convenience of vertical blinds. The fabric vanes move silently, and the curved shape absorbs sound to reduce exterior noise.

French Doors

French doors are a lovely addition to any space but most feature windows that you must cover at times. Choosing the right window covering will add another layer of beauty and function to your room. Many shades are appropriate for French doors, but since these doors generally lack window frames for window treatments, you will have to request an outside mount. We suggest you install hold-down brackets to hold your shades down while the doors are moving.

Roman shades and woven wood shades look stunning on French doors. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available in several opacities and sumptuous fabrics, including silks, linens, and tweeds. The Stacking Style features a 4-inch full fold that stacks cleanly below a headrail and is ideal for shallow mounting depths. For a more earthy, organic vibe, we recommend Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. These shades are handcrafted using 100% natural grasses, reeds, jute, and bamboo. Provenance Woven Wood Shades filter light beautifully and stop harmful UV rays before they can damage your home’s interior. You can add an optional liner if you prefer enhanced light and privacy control.

Parkland® Wood Blinds and Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are two more options that look great on French doors. Wood blinds instantly create a warm, cozy atmosphere while metal blinds provide a sleek, modern appearance. The durability of aluminum blinds make them an ideal solution for high traffic areas of your home. Metal blinds are also available in an extensive selection of colors and finishes, including matte, metallic, marble, and pearlescent. The same treatments that work well on French doors are also fantastic options for standard hinged doors which saves you time and guesswork.
