Custom Window Treatments for Sliding Glass Doors
Your sliding glass door provides easy access to and from the house while letting in plenty of natural light. The right patio window treatments can enhance privacy in your home and give you control over how much sunlight they let in. At Barrington Draperies & Shutters in Barrington, Illinois, we offer custom Hunter Douglas solutions tailored to your home, style, and goals.
Barrington-Area Sliding Glass Door Issues
Sliding glass doors are essentially large windows, so covering them presents different challenges than a standard window does. They let in a lot of natural light, and heat passes through them when they're left uncovered. In frigid winters, heat escapes your home, but in the hot, humid summers, heat enters. With close neighbors, a sliding glass door can also compromise privacy, but too much coverage means you lose the view you moved in for.
The right window coverings for your sliding glass doors solve both problems at once: they reduce energy loss and let you maintain your privacy without sacrificing the view.
Best Window Treatments for Patio Doors
Here are some of our top picks for patio doors and why we recommend them:
- Duette® Cellular Shades: Energy-efficient shades in semi-sheer to room-darkening fabrics glide vertically to fit your patio doors.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Sheer fabric vanes filter UV rays and glare while giving you daytime privacy.
- Somner® Vertical Blinds: Statement-making blinds crafted from vinyl, fabric, or aluminum add rich texture and style to large openings.
- Luminette® Sheer Panels: Drapery-like vertical panels combine sheer and opaque fabrics for adjustable light and privacy control.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: Weather-resistant, automation-compatible shutters boost curb appeal while providing security, energy efficiency, and light control.
Our showroom carries all these window coverings for patios in a range of colors, fabrics, and styles, so you can see all your options before you decide. We also measure your patio doors precisely, whether they're an unusual size, part of a custom new build, or slightly out of flush in an older house, so your new treatments fit exactly as they should.
Motorizing Your Window Coverings for Patio Doors
Many popular shades, blinds, and shutters can also be motorized, adding another layer of convenience to your patio doors. You can operate automated treatments from anywhere and create schedules, so they open, close, and adjust throughout the day to maximize light control, privacy, and energy efficiency.
