The Top 3 Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
It’s no secret that vertical blinds are an outstanding choice to cover sliding glass doors. They open to the side, making even expansive blinds easy to operate, but how do you choose the best ones for your home? Blind Scapes carries the full line of Hunter Douglas vertical blinds, and our window treatment specialists are here to help you find the perfect match for your sliding glass doors. Today, we’re sharing our top three vertical blind options for your home.
1: Luminette® Sheer Panels
Sheer window coverings are becoming more popular as homeowners discover the beauty of gently diffused sunlight. The fabric vanes offer a luxurious drapery-like appearance and rotate 180 degrees for exceptional light and privacy control. All-fabric vanes mean you’ll enjoy smooth, silent operation, and despite their lightweight construction, Luminette® Sheer Panels also provide excellent protection from sun damage. Choose from over 80 color and fabric combinations to perfectly accent any decor.
2: Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds
Gliding window panels are a sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional vertical blinds. They offer a striking backdrop for any room when closed and stack tightly when open to give you the best view. An interlocking bottom weight ensures smooth operation and fewer gaps between components mean panel-track blinds are more insulating than standard vertical blinds. You can also mount Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds on the ceiling to create an attractive room divider.
3: Somner® Vertical Blinds
If fashionable window treatments are a must-have, Somner® Vertical Blinds are a dream come true. Customize the perfect vertical blinds for your home with fabric, metal, and vinyl vane options. Vinyl and aluminum vanes are ideal solutions for busy households and high-traffic areas, such as sliding glass doors that lead to your backyard. More than 170 color and material combinations allow you to have vertical blinds that stand out or subtly blend in.
Benefits of Vertical Blinds
Why do we love vertical blinds so much? Let us count the ways!
- With rotating vanes, vertical blinds offer the most flexibility over light control, privacy, and ventilation.
- Vertical blinds make your home appear more spacious by creating the illusion of a higher ceiling.
- They’re easy to maintain - vinyl and metal vanes can be wiped with a damp or dry cloth, fabric vanes can be cleaned using your vacuum’s brush attachment on low suction, and individual vanes can often be replaced if they become damaged.
- Vertical blinds are available in several materials, colors, and textures, making them an incredibly versatile choice for every home.
- Most vertical blinds are compatible with motorization. This makes your home more secure, energy efficient, and convenient.
- Vertical blinds aren’t only for doors. They’re also fantastic for your home’s wide and tall windows.
