Sliding Door Window Treatments Make the Most of Patio Doors

Patio doors are hard-working elements in Hawaii homes, as they are often opened and closed for access and airflow—-and that’s especially true if you and your family spend considerable time on your patio or lanai.

But when did you last devote much thought to your patio doors’ appearance? If your patio doors have old window treatments or none at all, you’re doing your home a disservice.

The Kaloko Shutter & Blind design team is here to help our clients make the most of their patio doors with window treatments from Hunter Douglas. If you’re unsure about starting this project, read on to see why it’s a worthy one.

The Benefits of Custom Sliding Door Window Treatments

Sliding doors benefit from specialized treatments that align with their size, movement, and frequent use. Store-bought options might not provide the right fit or durability for your doors. If a sliding door has large cranks or hardware, gets excessive sunlight, or lets your neighbors peek in, you can solve all those issues with custom patio door window treatments.

When you shop for custom-ordered solutions, we bring samples to your home. You choose from various materials, colors, and functionalities; we help with the selections, then measure and install everything. The final result complements your space and meets practical requirements.

Hunter Douglas Options for Patio Door Window Treatments

We can custom order many Hunter Douglas styles for patio door window treatments. These are three of our favorites:

Somner® Vertical Blinds

Somner® Vertical Blinds have the largest selection of colors, treatments, and textures in the Hunter Douglas vertical blinds inventory. They have 3.5” louvers finished in statement fabrics, smooth metal finishes, and more. These blinds feature a patented headrail, four stacking options, and the Softex™ texturing process that helps reduce noise levels on some styles.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

If you appreciate the look of sheer drapery and the light control and privacy of a traditional vertical blind, you’ll love Luminette® Sheer Panels. This hybrid window covering mixes up the look of sheer curtains with 180-degree rotating fabric vanes for gentle light diffusion and privacy protection. You can order them up to 192” W x 120” H in a variety of colors, textures, and fabrics.

Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide®

If energy savings are a priority, Duette® Cellular Shades trap air and regulate indoor temperatures. The Vertiglide® operating system creates horizontal movement on these window coverings so that these shades can accommodate sliding patio doors. And since Duette® Cellular Shades come in an unmatched selection of sizes and fabrics, it’s easy to find a style that suits your patio doors.

  • Use one shade to cover the entire expanse of a patio door.
  • Cover the sliding door with a split stack Duette® Vertiglide™ shade, with each side operating independently.
