Our 3 Favorite Shades for Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors present a unique challenge in interior design. We enjoy how they allow in natural light, but sometimes they can leave a space feeling exposed and overheated. That’s why shades for sliding glass doors are so important—they can offer privacy when needed and help these large expanses of glass seamlessly mesh with your home's aesthetic.

Hunter Douglas Duette® with Vertiglide™ for sliding glass doors near Tulsa, Oklahoma (OK)

It sounds like a tall order, but through our extensive experience at Blind Ambitions in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we have discovered Hunter Douglas window treatments that rise to the occasion every time. Today, let's talk about our top three favorite shades curated specifically for sliding glass doors.

Duette® with Vertiglide™

Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ are among the best solutions for sliding glass doors. This vertical orientation of the industry-launching honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas is designed to slide from side to side, smoothly mirroring the operation of your sliding glass doors.

Not only do these shades provide a crisp, clean look, but the cellular construction also offers exceptional energy efficiency by trapping air in distinct pockets. This dramatically reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer—perfect for sliding glass doors and Oklahoma's diverse climate. Plus, with Vertiglide™, you can opt for either a right, left or split stack to suit the configuration of your door and room.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

If your design preference tends towards elegance and soft light diffusion, Luminette® Sheer Panels are ideal. These vertical shades feature a sheer fabric that beautifully diffuses incoming light to cast a comforting glow in your living space.

The unique structure of Luminette® Sheer Panels allows for varying levels of light control and privacy. The opaque rotating vanes are attached to sheer fabric, so you can rotate them closed for full privacy or open them to let the sunlight in. They offer a sophisticated, light, and airy solution, perfect for sliding doors that open to a patio or scenic outdoor view.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades in the Vertical Drapery Style

Add an organic charm to your sliding glass doors with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades in the vertical drapery style. These shades are crafted from natural woods, reeds, bamboo, and grasses, ensuring that each shade is one-of-a-kind and adds a unique texture to your room.

When customized as vertical drapery, the Provenance® Woven Wood Shades offer a distinct look that is both contemporary and earthy. They slide smoothly to the side rather than lifting and lowering, echoing the function of your sliding glass door.

With their natural hues and textures, these shades perfectly complement rustic, modern, or boho-chic home styles while adding an element of depth to any space. Plus, you can create a Whole House Solution™ when you pair with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades in Roman shading styles for your complementary windows.
