There’s no denying that sliding glass doors need window treatments. Window treatments for sliding glass doors add functionality, style, and can improve the performance of your home. If you’re wondering what window treatments are the best for sliding doors, our team has four favorites to share.

Duette® Cellular Shades

Cellular shades are one of our top picks for sliding doors because they are lightweight and offer outstanding insulation. Uncovered glass can make your home too warm or cool, causing you to use more energy to stay comfortable. Cellular shades have an innovative honeycomb-like interior that traps air to keep it from entering or leaving your home. The pleated surface is an excellent way to bring texture and movement to the large surface of sliding glass doors. Duette® Cellular Shades usually raise and lower horizontally, but the Vertiglide® system allows you to open them to the side to accommodate the movement of the doors.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

Award-winning Luminette® Sheer Panels bring the delicate beauty of sheer shades to your sliding glass doors. The fabric panels feature integrated vanes for enhanced light control and privacy. Sheer material provides outstanding protection from damaging UV rays to prevent your flooring and furniture from fading and discoloration. Their 3 ½” vane width accents any style of décor, and you can elevate the aesthetic of your Luminette® Privacy Sheers by choosing a fabric from the exclusive Alustra® Collection.

Sonnette® Roller Shades

Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of incredible shades, but Sonnette® Roller Shades are at the top of our list for window treatments for sliding glass doors. A roller shade and cellular shade paired together in one product, this Hunter Douglas shade offers wonderful insulating and light diffusion benefits when added to your sliding glass door.

These shades offer different fabric opacities that include semi-opaque and room darkening, so you can get your exact preference for a look and performance that you’re sure to love. Choose from more than 50 color choices to get a shade that matches your color palette or contrasts your furniture and décor.

If you want to enhance your Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Roller Shades, consider adding motorization with PowerView® Automation. This optional feature lets you control your shades through an app, remote, or smart-home system. PowerView® Automation also makes it possible to put your roller shades on a schedule, giving you the option to set your shades to open or close on a schedule.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

If you love how blinds look and perform, Hunter Douglas Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are a wonderful vertical window treatment for sliding glass doors. With over 450 color choices, getting your exact color match is a breeze. Additionally, these blinds stack tightly together when fully closed, meaning they can take up less space than some other vertical window treatments. Because of their size and tight fit against your sliding glass door, these Hunter Douglas vertical blinds have minimal light gaps and provide excellent privacy and light management.
