What Blinds do I use for Sliding or Patio Doors?
Sliding doors are a popular interior design choice due to their ease of access and the fact that they don’t take up much space. They are often featured in spaces like patios, bedrooms, and living rooms. But these are all very different spaces with varying needs, and a window covering that works for one room might not necessarily be a good fit for another.
Before you settle on any one window treatment, consider the following questions:
- How much natural light do you want to let in?
- Do you need to control your privacy?
- Is there a particular look or appeal you’re after?
- Are there any unique measurements or oddities in the space that must be taken into account?
Options:
Should you choose roller blinds, shutters, or vertical blinds. Start your search by identifying any particular specific benefits you’d like to have. For example:
- Room darkening or blackout
- Advanced privacy control
- Energy efficiency
- Children and animals
- Interior design
Sliding doors are typically located in high-traffic areas and window treatments on these doors are subject to quite a bit of wear and tear. As you make your selection, look for the best options that are well-constructed from durable materials that are easy to clean.
Care
For the most part, blinds, shades, and shutters are fairly low-maintenance and a good option for high traffic areas. Curtains however collect dust quickly and are the most labour-intensive to clean. You can spot-clean and dust your sliding door window treatments every few weeks to remove any accumulated debris such as dust and dirt, keeping them in mint condition. The Verti Shades can be unclipped and individual vanes can be washed and rehung.
Engineered for improved durability and performance, Vertical Blinds are a modern update for the favoured sliding door standard window covering. While remaining simple to operate and effective at blocking light leakage from the top and with almost 50 colours texture styles to choose from, you’re sure to find a perfect match for your sliding doors.
Vertical Blinds offer greater light-blocking capabilities, which is ideal for intimate spaces like living rooms and bedrooms. With a simple turn of the wand, you can easily adjust your vanes for optimized light levels, UV protection, and privacy.
