Why Sliding Glass Doors Need Quality Window Treatments
Big-box store
horizontal blinds can’t extend across the entire door or even an expansive window, leaving light gaps. For sliding glass doors, generic window coverings can be even more problematic because they may not glide smoothly, making it difficult to open the door.
Vertical blinds, from top brands like Graber®, offer tighter vane closure and better track systems that eliminate gaps. They also naturally glide with the sliding glass door, so it’s easier to open and close.
You can select light-filtering blinds that let light in, even when they’re closed. There are also options for room-darkening blinds that block light when closed but allow a clear view of the outdoors when twisted open.
Our collection of Graber®
custom blinds lets you decide how they stack. They have a smooth, even space between vanes, with options on how they lock and connect.
Vertical Graber® Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
The best room-darkening window treatments for your sliding glass doors are vertical blinds. Graber® vertical blinds let you manage light and easily glide them open and closed to get the light control and coverage you want. You can also decide whether to stack them on the left or right side of your sliding door or split them between the two sides.
Sheer Vertical Blind Options
Choosing sheer fabric vertical blinds provides exquisite light control, diffusing glare-free light through the vanes. For privacy, twist the vanes to use the opaque or room-darkening blind vanes.
Room-Darkening Vertical Blind Options
Of course, there are room-darkening fabric vanes that block light when they’re closed, but you can twist them at any time to let in your desired amount of light.
Vinyl Vertical Blind Options
Vinyl vertical blinds can also be room-darkening, and you can choose from two vane styles. One is the more traditional straight edge, while the other has an S-curve that allows them to essentially lock together, so no light can pass between the vanes.
Alternatives to Room-Darkening Blinds
Here are a few Graber® shade options that work with sliding glass doors and offer room-darkening enhancements:
Sliding Panels
Graber® Sliding Panels glide above sliding glass doors, just like vertical blinds. However, the panels of fabric are significantly wider than vertical blinds, often up to about 1 ½’. This width allows you to get more creative with fabrics, including options from Graber® Roman, roller, and solar shade collections.
Some fabric selections, like
solar shade fabrics, offer an excellent view of the outdoors while darkening your home and protecting your privacy.
Vertical Cellular Shades
Cellular shades in the vertical orientation boast the same energy-efficiency benefits as their horizontal counterpart, but open from left to right instead of up to down. These Graber® shades are available in a variety of fabrics, so you can feel confident they’ll capture your unique personality and blend seamlessly into your space.
