The Best Sliding Door Window Treatments
Sliding doors are wonderful features as they provide easy access to outdoor spaces and deliver abundant light into your home. However, covering them can be challenging due to their size and frequent use. You want something that offers light management, looks great with your decor, and won’t get in the way of using the door. Interior shutters are easily the best window treatments for sliding doors. See why.
Durable Window Treatment Are Ideal For Frequent Use
Sliding glass doors get a lot of use, so you need a window treatment that’s up for the task. Interior shutters fit the bill thanks to their solid construction and fine craftsmanship. Polywood® shutters are the most resilient window treatment you can buy, as they won’t crack, warp, break, or fade in humid or sunny conditions. They’ll last as long as the door itself!
Enjoy Superior Light Management On Your Sliding Door
Sliding doors bring in lots of light, but there may be times when you want something between full sunlight and total privacy. Interior shutters give you that choice. An easy tilt of the built-in louvers gives you the level of illumination you want. You can even use a divider rail and enjoy sunlight through the top while leaving the bottom half closed for privacy.
Say Goodbye To Cords And Free-hanging Products
Are you tired of swaying vertical blinds or tugging drapes out of the way whenever you want to open the door? You won’t have to worry about cords, bulky materials, or hanging products banging against the glass when you use interior shutters for sliding glass doors. They are firmly attached to your door and slide easily out of the way.
Improve Your Home's Visual Appeal
The right sliding door window treatment has to be functional and long-lasting, but it should also look good! Interior shutters deliver a timeless appeal that is perfect for any interior. Choose natural hardwood shutters to match existing architectural elements or classic white Polywood to complement all decor.
Polywood Shutters Insulate Your Patio Door Best
Patio doors pose a problem for energy efficiency. Their big panes of glass magnify the sun’s heat and warm up your house in summer. Then, cold drafts can sneak in around their frame in winter. Both issues drive up your energy costs.
Plantation shutters are the most energy-efficient window treatments for sliding glass doors. Their insulating system can block up to 30 degrees of temperature transfer when closed. They have weatherstripping that keeps out most drafts, and their louvers block hot UV rays when closed.
How Do Sliding Door Window Treatments Work?
When using interior shutters for sliding glass doors, you have a couple of options for functionality.
Bypass Sliding Door Shutters
Bypass shutters slide effortlessly on a fixed track, moving one before the other when you open your door. They usually have fewer panels than bi-fold shutters, providing a sleek, modern look. Bypass shutters work well in rooms without space to spare on either side of the sliding glass door.
Bi-fold Sliding Door Shutters
With bifold shutters, both sets of shutter panels fold out from the center and move to the side on a top-mounted track. With the shutters folded back-to-back, you get maximum access to your glass door and ultimate control over how much light to let in. Bifold shutters work when there’s space for the panels to fold out of the way.
