The FAQ of Sliding Door Window Treatments
The glass door blinds, shades, shutters or drapery you choose for your Roseville area home should improve the look and function of the space. Because covering doors can present a number of challenges, from installation to the overall function, we know you have questions. Take a look at some of the frequent questions we answer…
What are the best window coverings for sliding glass doors?
When it comes to covering sliders, we often recommend vertical shades, panel track blinds and custom draperies for patio doors. The movement of these match the movement of the doors. But, do you know that almost any type of window covering can be used to cover the doors of your home? It all depends on the specific layout of your home and the makeup of your door. You can also use horizontal shades, like romans, rollers or sheers–to name just a few.
Which shades are best for patio or french doors?
When it comes to patio doors, homeowners often request roman shades, roller shades and french door shutters. These all provide a beautiful look while ensuring privacy and light control. But keep in mind that your specific door type and layout can play a role in what type of window shade can be used.
How do you attach window coverings to doors?
The attachment of window treatments for doors depends on which type of door, as well as which type of treatments you’ve chosen. For sliding doors, vertical coverings and drapery all hang from a track or rod that is wall-mounted above the door. Horizontal shades, like roman shades or rollers, are installed in a way that works with the makeup of the door. Some window shades can inside mounted, while other are outside mounted. This depends on the way the doors are trimmed. French and patio door shades are installed by attaching the hardware right to the door, above the glass window pane. If the glass pane of the door is so large the installation area is restricted, we can recommend a specialty system, called TrackGlide, which can be used to adhere a track on a very narrow frame, along the edge of the glass. This track glides the shades, allowing them to open, close and adjust seamlessly.
Are glass door shades considered energy efficient?
Yes. Sliding glass doors are huge expanses of glass that can fill your home with light–and increase the temperature inside. To stop that from happening, it’s important to cover the glass. We offer a number of energy efficient window treatments that will work for sliding doors, french doors and patio doors. Your window covering specialist can recommend the right type based on the direction your glass doors face and how the light enters your Roseville area home.
Can sliding door window treatments be motorized?
Yes. When you order glass door shutters, shades, blinds or drapery, you can choose automation to control them. The PowerView automation system from Hunter Douglas offers instant control, saved favorites and scheduled adjustments. They also integrate easily with most smart home systems, which means you can get convenience and control from day one!
Do all of the window treatments have to match?
If you’re hesitating to choose glass door blinds because you’re not sure if they should match the window shades in your home, you’re not alone. One of the most common questions homeowners have is whether or not everything should be the same. We like to focus on whole home coordination–choosing elements and fabrics that pair well together so that each window and door can get the right type of coverings. This will be the best way to help your home reach its potential while you also enjoy the overall look.
How do the door handles operate?
One of the most important aspects of covering doors is choosing the right type of covering to fit your door’s function. The knobs and levers that are used to open and close patio doors and french doors are obviously an important feature, but we know it can be easy to forget about them. Our window covering specialists come to your home for your at-home consultation, and they take measurements. They also account for door handles and other design challenges so your investment works as intended. Shutters can be customized with door handle cut-outs that allow movement without disrupting function. Other blinds and shades will be custom-fit so the shade is low profile enough, or simply out of the way.
Can I see window coverings for sliding glass doors in person?
Absolutely! California Window Fashions has a showroom where you can explore fabrics in person and watch sliding door blinds in action. Pick out fabric samples to take home and get a better feel of each of the products and their features. Visiting our Roseville showroom is the perfect way to discover what you love before booking your in-home design consultation.
