Best Window Treatments for French Doors
Elegant and regal, French Doors can quickly become a feature of any home. The wide frames and top-to-bottom glass allow a great deal of natural light and generally lead out to the patio or porch.
While lovely, this expanse of glass is generally a double-edged sword. People adore their French doors for the view they offer and the light but often find themselves victims to privacy concerns and lacking proper light control.
Thankfully, the proper window treatment can alleviate many pain points without sacrificing the beneficial portions of French doors. Blindscapes has a team of certified pros ready to assist with any French door window treatment in the Albuquerque, NM, area. For French doors, we recommend one of four types of window treatment: cellular shades, shutters, roller shades, and window shadings.
Cellular Shades
Cellular shades offer many benefits, particularly to French doors. Beyond being particularly good at light control, they also provide excellent privacy and energy efficiency.
These shades are specially constructed to maintain an insulating layer of air between the window they're protecting and the rest of your home. This insulating layer reduces the rate of heat transfer in the window itself, making it easier to keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer. For areas of glass as expansive as French doors, this is a blessing for the energy bill.
Shutters
Look no further than our array of shutters for those looking for a timeless classic option. The thick panels of plantation shutters evoke a beachy vibe, perfect for people living near bodies of water.
Since shutters firmly attach to French doors, they're much more secure than typical window treatments. We custom fit our shutters to your doors, so you can adjust to the perfect amount of privacy without worrying about people peering through the cracks.
Hunter Douglas' faux wood shutters have some additional beneficial qualities: they're particularly UV-resistant and can withstand intense sunlight and moisture without damage.
One caveat to shutters is that they are slightly more blocky than other window treatments. If you have the space, shutters are unmatched in their display but can struggle in smaller areas.
Roller Shades
While all of our window treatments have cordless options, roller shades do particularly well at providing easy-to-use cordless options. This is highly beneficial for families with children and pets - you can rest knowing that your home is much safer.
The light control with roller shades is unparalleled. You can customize the opacity by selecting different fabrics; the color range is incredible, and the material can be chosen specially to match the room's theme.
Window Shadings
A window shading might be in order for those looking for a little more light and airy to inspire interior design. The s-shaped blinds float between two sheer panels, giving the door and surrounding area a soft glow of natural light.
Best Window Treatments for French Doors
French doors can be a massive asset to your home, but they require special care regarding their window treatment. At Blindscapes, we bring the solutions to your home so you can select and choose in the comfort of your home. No more choosing options at the store that don't seem to fit once you see them at home.
