If you need to block glare and harmful UV rays coming in through your sliding glass door, traditional vertical blinds aren’t the only choice. The window covering market has developed many modern alternatives that will give you style and function if vertical blinds don’t float your boat.
Window Coverings for Sliding Glass Doors:
Vertical Cellular Shades

For wide windows and patio doors that need insulation from heat or cold, a cellular shade is the best option. The shade can be opened from either side and it’s barely noticeable when fully collpsed. The honeycomb design gives your door or window a stylish look and provides additional insulation against sound.
Sheerweave Sliding Panels

Woven Wood Panels
These vertical woven wood shades are a hybrid between traditional fabric drapes and a folding door. They have the elegant look of drapes and can be installed easily with a curtain rod. These panels are made from sustainable, pesticide free bamboo. Have the peace of mind that you have made an environmentally conscious choice for your windows. These beautiful panels will add texture to your room while ensuring privacy and blocking glare.
Sliding Shutters
If you want something more than a common vertical our By-Pass Track Fauxwood Shutters are the perfect choice. Each shutter panel hangs from an easy-to-install vertical track and slides past each other to open and close. Fauxwood Shutters provide more energy efficiency than verticals and give your room a more aesthetically pleasing look.
