Shade & Blind Options for Sliding Glass Doors

At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’re frequently asked about the best ways to treat sliding glass doors. In the past, people’s main choices for sliders were vertical blinds or draperies. But luckily, times have changed, and we now have a wider variety of options. Read on to learn about products you could select for your home!
Covering a Slider
We’re proud to carry the full line of Hunter Douglas products, including a vast array of styles, from casual to elegant, as well as options that can complement other treatments you might already have. Our specialists will be more than happy to guide you through the selection process, from showing you all the choices to helping you understand mounting options and more. We’ll help you find the product that can feel like a work of art for your slider, leaving you happy with your purchase for years to come. See below for just a handful of your choices!
Shutters
Timeless and elegant, shutters can actually help with resale value when you go to move from your home. They’re available in numerous colors or stains, so you can match them easily to your décor, and their stylish look will last, even if you change your room’s aesthetic. Plus, you can preserve your view-through by tilting the louvers up or down. High-quality Heritance® Hardwood Shutters especially are good for sliders and bring a certain elegance to a space.
Duette® Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades beautifully capture light and offer endless textile options. Plus, they’re energy-efficient, acting as insulation at the window. On top of all that, with the Vertiglide™ operating system, these shades can become vertical instead of horizontal, making them great for the wider openings of sliders and patio doors. An even greater benefit is that, if you have another window in the room, you can treat it with the horizontal version, creating a beautiful symmetry in the space.
Luminette® Privacy Sheers
Add sheer elegance to any room. Luminette® Privacy Sheers guide light from the bottom to the top—even in rooms with tall ceilings—to change how the room is perceived. With vertical fabric vanes and a sheer panel, these sheers are great for large expanses of glass, like a wall of windows or a slider.
Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds
Their sleek, contemporary design lends drama to any décor, and they’re great for not only sliding glass doors and large windows but also as a unique room divider. Skyline offers smooth operation and stacks neatly when open.
Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds
These blinds are a great choice for sliding glass doors or walls of windows, offering the look of plush drapery folds. They’re available in over 40 material and color choices, so you’re bound to find something to match your style, and they offer smooth, quiet movement, which enhances their elegance
