Light and Privacy Options for Sliding Glass Doors
We all love sliding glass doors. They add a sense of space and light to your home and let you soak in gorgeous outdoor views. But one thing we’ve noticed about sliding glass doors is that they don't always provide enough privacy or light control. While it's fine for some homeowners, others might prefer something more secure or private. So how do you achieve that? Read on for a few ways you can make your sliding glass doors private or semi-private.
Blinds
Blinds are the most common option for sliding glass doors, but there are several types of blinds. Vertical blinds are often the first choice for sliding glass doors, as these large blinds work very well to cover the tall glass panes of your door. You can also consider other kinds of blinds, like wooden or metal blinds, depending on what kind of style you are going for.
Blinds come with many different features, such as tilt control mechanisms that let users adjust angles manually, cordless lift systems that allow users greater freedom when opening/closing their shades without having cords get tangled up around feet, to entirely automatic systems that let you control your blinds remotely at the push of a button.
Some of our favorite blind options for sliding glass doors include:
Roman Shades
Roman shades are another excellent option for sliding glass doors. They're easy to operate and can be made to fit any size window, which makes them a perfect option for sliding glass doors that may not have an existing shade or curtain. Roman shades are available in many different colors, patterns, materials, and styles - so you'll have no problem finding something that fits your needs perfectly. If you have been looking for a fashionable covering for your sliding glass doors, look no further than any one of the stunning options from Hunter Douglas that we carry, including:
Roller Shades
Roller shades are an excellent option for sliding glass doors. They're easy to operate, affordable, and energy efficient. Plus, they can be made to fit any size door!
Roller shades work by rolling up into a housing attached to the top of your sliding glass door. The shade rolls down when you pull on it or push a button - it's as simple as that! This type of window treatment is perfect if you want something simple enough for children or elderly family members who may need help operating other types of window treatments. It also makes them ideal for homes with small children because no cords are hanging down from above, which could be pulled by little hands (or paws).
Conclusion
Sliding glass doors are a great way to bring the outdoors in, but they can also be difficult to keep private. If you're looking for an option that allows you to control both light and privacy, we recommend installing blinds or shades on your sliding glass door. These products are easy to install and will give you more control over how much light comes into the room.
Our team here at Nest Expressions is ready to help you find the perfect window treatments for your sliding glass doors, so don't hesitate to get in touch!
