When deciding what window treatments to put on a sliding glass door first see what window coverings you have on your windows. 95% of the time, we will match the window coverings you have throughout your home to achieve a clean an completed look. Continue reading to see a comprehensive guide of our window treatments for sliding glass doors.

Vertical or Horizontal?

As sliding glass doors are getting bigger and bigger it has become more common to put window coverings that move up and down rather that side-to-side on them. If you want your window coverings to almost disappear when they are open, the up a down approach is definitely the better option. If you are going to have the window coverings closed most of the day and want the easiest operation, the side-to-side approach is for you. Any of our window coverings are available in either approach, we will highlight some of our favorites below.

Vertical

Traditional window coverings that move up and down. Best for big sliders and homeowners who want their window coverings to almost disappear when open.

Soluna™ Roller Shades

Roller shades are a simple and modern window treatment that provide privacy and light control when closed, and are out of sight and mind when they are open. We love roller shades for sliding glass doors because of the fact that they roll to close instead of stacking. With stacking window coverings such as blinds, as the windows get larger so does the stack; causing you to loose some of your window when your window treatments are open.

PerfectSheer™ Shades

Sheer shades beautifully diffuse light and create privacy with their unique construction. We love these shades for sliding glass doors because they are light and decorative, but still maintain the rolling ability. Since these sheer shades are so light, we can make them the biggest out of any shade and cover your sliding glass door with the fewest possible pieces.

Portrait™ Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades are the perfect window covering for the harsh Colorado weather. Their cellular construction is by far the best for insulation, keeping the hot or cold air out of your home. Honeycomb shades do stack to open, but thanks to their cellular construction, they are the tightest stacking window covering on the market.

Horizontal

Window coverings that move side to side. Best for homeowners who want the easiest operation when the window treatments are closed.

SmartDrape™ Shades

The SmartDrape™ shade from Norman Window Fashions is one of the best innovations in the window covering industry to date. It’s sheer construction not only looks beautiful, but also allows the homeowner to walk through it when completely closed. All of our customers who have purchased SmartDrape™ absolutely love it.

Shutters

Plantation shutters are a classic window covering that will never go out of style. By putting them on a sliding track, we are able to complete your home with a finished look and give you ultimate functionality.

Portrait™ Honeycomb Shades

Honeycomb shades can also slide side-to-side. These shades provide the same amazing insulation qualities mentioned above, but now with the ability to move them just like your sliding glass door.
