Custom window treatments offer more than just light control and privacy. They are also an excellent way to add style and flair to a room's overall interior design. While there are many coverings for windows to choose from, a few stand out among the rest, and are also a great option for doors including vertical blinds, panel track blinds, and sheer shades.

Since 1999, our team at Georgia Blinds & Interiors, has provided exceptional custom Hunter Douglas window treatments to our clients across the greater metro Atlanta areas. Let's explore some of our popular window treatment ideas for sliding glass doors and French doors and get to know one of our talented team members: Jennifer Hunter, our Staff Member Spotlight for April 2024.

Vertical Blinds: A Classic Choice for Doors

One of the most popular window treatment ideas for sliding glass and patio doors are the classic vertical blinds. With a classic structure, vertical blinds feature a hanging track with opaque slats that stack to either side. The slats are easily adjusted to various angles, allowing precise control over privacy and light. Additionally, effortlessly sliding your blinds aside provides full access to the door. Aesthetically, vertical blinds give a sleek and modern style and come in multiple materials, including vinyl, metal, and fabric. 

If you like drapery's soft, elegant look, consider Hunter Douglas Cadence® Vertical Blinds. These vertical blinds offer a curved slat design, creating a dimensional effect that adds depth to any room.

For a vertical blind solution with over 170 fabric, vinyl, and aluminum metal slat options, Somner® Vertical Blinds are a highly customizable option that easily work with your doors and fit with any interior design.

Choose Innovative Panel Track Blinds for Doors

If you’re looking for a window treatment with a larger presence, Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are a style of vertical blind perfect for tall, short, or wide windows and sliding glass or patio doors. These window treatments consist of large fabric panels that hang vertically from a track system mounted above the door or on the ceiling. These panels slide along the track individually, allowing users to position the panels wherever desired for optimal light control and privacy options. Then, they neatly stack to the side for unobstructed views and door access.

Panel track blinds offer a high level of customization with over 450 fabric options to match your specific décor preferences. From subtle neutrals to bold patterns, you can easily find the best option for any room with these wide fabric panels.

Sheer Shades Provide A Contemporary Design

Made with a unique combination of sheer panels and opaque vanes that close tight like blinds, Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades are an innovative and versatile window treatment perfect for a variety of uses throughout your home. Sheer shades are available in three different styles, in both horizontal and vertical orientations. 

For French doors and doors with panes of glass, Silhouette® Sheer Shades come in a low-profile tilt-only system that fits perfectly against the door and allows it to open easily without a bulky headrail. With opaque vanes sandwiched between two sheer panels, you can enjoy both diffused light and privacy when you need it.

If you’re looking for window treatment ideas for sliding glass doors, then Luminette® Sheer Panels are a great option for you. Rotating vanes provide for both diffused light and privacy when you need it, protecting your interiors from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Plus, these vertical sheer shade tack back for easy access to your doors.

Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades can come with PowerView® Automation, which provides ease and accessibility for large doors and adds to the contemporary feel of these window coverings. You can utilize the PowerView® App on your tablet or smartphone to effortlessly program your sheer shades to desired positions on a schedule throughout the day. In addition to the app, you can also operate your shades via the PowerView® Pebble® Control – an ergonomically designed take on the traditional remote that can also be wall-mounted.
