What Are the Best Options for Sliding Glass Door Shades?
Your best options for sliding glass doors depend on the light control requirements, privacy needs, and style preferences. These are some of the most popular choices.
Roller Shades for Sliding Glass Doors
Roller shades are a versatile and sleek option for sliding glass doors. They roll up into a compact cassette when not in use for a minimalist aesthetic. They come in many materials, colors, and patterns to match your interior decor. Choose from sheers to opaques and solid colors to floral patterns.
Roller shades are easy to operate. You can open them partway to control the light entering the room or roll them up for unobstructed views; close them to filter or block out light.
Select roller shades made from durable materials that can withstand frequent use for sliding glass doors. If your sliding glass doors get direct sunlight, Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are roller shades that curb harsh UV rays.

Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
Vertical blinds have long slats that you adjust to control light and privacy. These custom blinds are great for wide openings, like those in sliding glass doors, and effectively cover tall, wide openings. You tilt the slats to filter light or pull them to one side for a clear view.
Vertical
blinds feature fabric, vinyl, and aluminum, each with different benefits. Fabric blinds offer a softer look, while vinyl and aluminum are durable and low-maintenance.
How to Choose the Right Treatment for Your Sliding Glass Doors
How can you decide which window treatment is best for your sliding glass doors? To start, roller shades offer a modern look, while vertical blinds provide a more traditional appearance. Also, consider how much light control and privacy you need. Roller shades with blackout options provide complete light blocking, while vertical blinds offer adjustable light filtering.
Homeowners use their sliding glass frequently, so choosing sliding door treatments made from durable materials that can help your window treatments withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. Even if they aren’t used frequently, sliding doors should be easy to operate, and
motorized options can add convenience.
