What’s the best way to cover a sliding glass door?

The curved vanes of Hunter Douglas Cadence Soft Verticals mimic soft drapery folds over this sliding glass door.

What is the best blind or shade to use on a sliding glass door? You want privacy and light control, but you also need to freely operate the door and walk in and out. 

Just Right Blinds & Shutters has several great ideas from Hunter Douglas for homeowners who want the ideal treatment for their sliding glass door. There’s something for every décor and decorating budget.

Options include Luminette Privacy Sheers (an especially elegant choice), Duette Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide, NewStyle Shutters with bi-fold and bypass track systems, and Skyline Gliding Window Panels. Hunter Douglas also offers several choices of custom vertical blinds including Cadence Soft Verticals and Somner Custom Vertical Blinds.

Here are some quick details on each option:

Luminette Privacy Sheers: These soft, sheer drapery-style blinds feature fabric vanes that rotate for privacy while controlling the light and providing superior UV protection.

Duette Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide: Crisp, neat honeycomb construction creates air pockets for energy efficiency and a classic look. Vertiglide operation opens and closes the blind from side to side, with options for left, right, split-center or traveling center stack.

NewStyle Hybrid Shutters: The look of wood with the strength and micro-smooth finish of modern materials makes these shutters a naturally beautiful choice. Bi-fold and bypass track mounting systems also make them a versatile choice for sliding glass doors.

Skyline Gliding Window Panels: Innovative screen shade fabrics reduce the heat and glare in a room while offering a sleek, urban look. There are 5 opacity categories to select from and over 600 fabrics, plus left, right or split stack.

Cadence Soft Vertical Blinds: Curved vanes mimic soft drapery folds while a patented headrail reduces light gaps and allows smooth, trouble-free side to side operation.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters Offers Blinds to Reduce Heat from Skylights

Block summer heat from a bedroom skylight with a Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shade.

Skylights give your rooms a brighter, more open and airy feeling beyond what standard windows can offer. Skylights, however, have the potential to let sunlight overheat your rooms in summer and allow heat to escape in winter. What can you do?

Just Right Blinds & Shutters has skylight shades from Hunter Douglas that will help you stay comfortable this summer and all year round. Here are tips on how to choose the right style of skylight shade:

Choose for location

If your skylights are in areas that get a lot of sun—especially bedrooms or media rooms—you might want to consider skylight shades with a room-darkening or blackout fabric. If they're in rooms like kitchens or bathrooms that don't require complete darkness, choose a light-filtering fabric that will bring in natural light while still blocking harsh rays. 

Choose for energy efficiency & sound absorption

Cellular shades like Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, are one of the most popular skylight window treatments because their cellular design provides a layer of insulation at the window. 

For even more energy efficiency, there's a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb shade called Duette® Architella® that features more layers of fabric and insulating air pockets. Considering how much sun might be coming through your skylights and the fact that up to 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through your windows, Duette Architella shades can be a worthwhile investment.

The extra layer of insulation from Duette or Duette Architella can also help absorb unwanted sounds from the outside, another benefit for a bedroom or media room.

Choose for the operating system

Skylight blinds and shades are hard to reach, so you need an operating system made specially for them. With Hunter Douglas, it's easy to find.  For example, Duette and Duette Architella honeycomb shades are available with a Skylift™ system that lets you control your shades either manually with a hand crank or telescoping pole for hard-to-reach skylight windows, or automatically with the PowerView® Motorization system.

Choose to blend with your decor

Hunter Douglas blinds are a great choice for skylight windows because you can select from such a wide range of styles, colors and textures to fit any décor, from traditional to contemporary. There’s a choice available that’s sure to suit your needs.

Keep in mind that since skylights are often focal points of a room, you'll want a skylight window covering that doesn't detract from the décor, but adds to the overall style.

Just Right Blinds, a Hunter Douglas dealer, offers blind operation for every lifestyle

The SoftTouch Motorization system is wand-controlled and battery operated, for a clean, no-cords look.

“One of the many great features of Hunter Douglas Blinds is the many choices you have for operating your blinds,” says Todd Zimmerman, owner of Just Right Blinds & Shutters. “Cords or cordless, motorization, wand control, or getting both light filtering and room darkening from one shade, whatever option you want, Hunter Douglas has a product for you.”

Silhouette Shadings are a Hunter Douglas blind that features a wide open choice of operating systems. All Silhouette shadings feature soft fabric vanes suspended between two sheers that you can easily tilt for light control and privacy. And all offer a choice of operating systems to fit your lifestyle:

EasyRise: This standard system uses a continuous cord loop so you can easily raise, adjust and lower your shades by simply pulling on the cord. Perfect for large window treatments!

LiteRise: This cordless system lets you simply push up with your hand to raise and pull down to lower. With no lift cords, it’s a clean, uncluttered look that’s safe for children and pets.

UltraGlide: A single retractable cord or ergonomic wand raises and lowers your shade. No long, dangling cords detract from the beauty of your window shade or tempt children or pets.

SoftTouch: No cords! This wand-controlled, battery-powered system is so easy to use—simply click and walk away. And you can set a favorite shade position.

PowerView: A wireless operating system that lets you automatically control and schedule your shades via remote control or your mobile device. The ultimate in convenience!

Duolite: Want room darkening at night, light filtering by day? Duolite combines two separate fabric panels with different opacities into a single shade, available in a range of manual and motorized options.
