Different Types of Window Shades for Sliding Doors

Sliding glass doors often become the largest window in a room, and what you choose to cover them affects light, energy, privacy, and flow. At The Blind Butler in Vacaville, California, we offer window treatments from top brands, including Graber®, that seamlessly blend innovation, function, and style. We offer several types of window shades for sliding glass doors, allowing you to achieve the desired light control while still enjoying the convenience of your sliding door.

Home with sliding glass door and outdoor concrete patio near Vacaville, California (CA)

Selecting sliding door shades takes a little more effort than selecting window coverings for your standard windows. Sliding doors are wide and tall, so the treatments must be made to span large spaces. They also need to be usable, as they should open and close smoothly and easily every time you want to use them. This usually requires a track at the top of your door.

Other things to consider are:

  • Light control.
  • Exterior views.
  • Privacy.
  • Temperature control.

Shutters, blinds, and shades can help you make the most of your door.

Best Graber® Options for Sliding Door Shades, Shutters, and Blinds

Graber® Slide-Vue™ Vertical Cellular Shades

Built specifically for sliding doors, these cellular shades have honeycomb cells that run vertically instead of horizontally. They’re insulating and reduce heat and solar gain, so they’ll keep your home comfortable all year long. Made for wide windows and doors, they can extend up to 192” wide. You can select the operation method that works best for you.

They’re also available in fabrics ranging from sheer to blackout, providing you with the light control you need.

Graber® Vertical Blinds

Graber® Vertical blinds are available in sheer fabrics, light-filtering or room-darkening fabrics, and vinyl slats. Designed for heavy use, these glide smoothly along the top of your sliding door, while the vanes stay a consistent distance apart. The vanes rotate, allowing you to control the amount of light you want to let in. Choose from over 150 colors in various textures to find the perfect solution for your home. You can also select the operating system that best suits your household’s needs.

Graber® Shutters

If you like the idea of sliding door shutters, the Graber® bypass track system makes it possible. Your shutters open and shut in the same direction as your sliding glass door, and you have incredible light control and privacy. You can also enjoy the view. This option is available with our wood or composite shutters, which are ideal for many interior design styles.
