Favorite Window Treatments for French Doors

Window treatments for French doors can make a good thing even better. They can make the doors look larger, improving their visual impact. Another benefit is the addition of texture, color, and pattern to the top-to-bottom glass. Customizing window coverings for French doors can make this entryway a stunning focal point for a room. As the light and temperature change toward the end of the year, these window treatments can provide shade, privacy, and a layer of insulation against the cold.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters covering a French door near Wexford, PA

Nest Expressions features an exceptional selection of Hunter Douglas products and custom draperies, and we can recommend beautiful window treatments for your French doors.

UV-resistant Shutters

Shutters can beautify French doors and are manufactured with wood, composite materials, and vinyl. Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are an excellent choice because they are UV-resistant – even when installed on French doors or windows that get a ton of sun, these shutters will never fade, peel, warp, or crack.

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are also moisture-resistant, making them perfect for French doors. They attach securely, so you needn’t worry about them shifting or making noise when the doors open and close. They’re offered in three neutral colors, with adjustable louvers in 2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½" slat sizes.

Cellular Shades

Also called honeycomb shades, Duette® Cellular Shades provide outstanding light control and are energy efficient. The clever design features fabric cells that open up when the shade is lowered; as the air collects inside, it forms an insulating barrier. The cells flatten as the shade is raised, and you can look through the glass.

Duette® Cellular Shades can be ordered with the unique TrackGlide™ system, a custom feature that keeps these window coverings in place when French doors open and close. It has aluminum tracks and removable side-rail clips that can be attached to the glass or outside the window. No screws or holes are needed – they have adhesive backings.

Roller and Roman Shades

These two window coverings might not be the first choice for window treatments for French doors, but they are worth exploring. They can be more utilitarian or fall on the other end of the spectrum, adding drama to your decor.

Roller Shades

Modern roller shades are sleek and fashionable, with a clean aesthetic. Hunter Douglas offers designer roller shades you can order with special materials that resist UV rays – ask us about the brand’s designer solar shades. Or, consider Sonnette® Roller Shades. These combine roller and cellular shades in one window covering for added energy efficiency.

Roman Shades

The softly structured folds in Roman shades are an interesting counterpoint to the clean lines of French doors. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades come with flat or full folds, with no exposed cords.

Sheer Window Shadings

Window shadings add a subtle, sophisticated personality to French doors, managing privacy and light without making a bold design statement. We like Silhouette® Shades for clients with French doors because they open easily, with no headrails and cord-free options. These elegant, sheer window headings have S-shaped vanes that gently float between two fabric panels.

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers have 3½” vanes that gently move between UV-resistant fabrics. And by the way, this innovative design helped Hunter Douglas win a coveted award: The Window Covering Manufacturers Association 2022 Product of the Year.
