In the warm Florida climate, sliding glass doors see a lot of use and are a key focal point in many spaces. They are where guests and family come and go, connecting your home's interior to your outdoor living spaces. While your sliding doors act as a great transition space, they also allow warm air to enter your home and, at times, could use more elements to enhance your privacy.

1. Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ are perfect for sliding glass doors, as they offer a vertical orientation that provides necessary additional insulation from the outdoor elements while protecting your space. Their honeycomb cells trap incoming and outgoing air within their discreetly hidden pockets, keeping your home nice and cool during a steamy Florida summer. For additional energy-saving features, consider Duette Architella® Cellualr Shades, which boast a honeycomb within a honeycomb design for doubled protection.
2. Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are an excellent alternative to traditional vertical blinds if you want to add a sleek, modern aesthetic to your sliding glass door. They are perfect for large expanses of glass, and their patented design stacks several panels on one slender headrail that can be mounted to the door, window, or ceiling. You can select from an abundant collection of textures and opacities. We also offer these panels in over 450 color options, so you will find one that satisfies your design goals. For further appeal, consider topping off your panels with a customized unique top treatment for an overall cohesive look.
3. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are another option for adding earthy texture to your sliding glass door. These shades filter the light to create a peaceful ambiance. We offer these shades in vertical drapery styles to enhance your door's look. They are made from natural woods, bamboo, grasses, and reeds, so when you add these shades to your sliding doors, it is like inviting the outdoors in for a warm, casual vibe. You can choose from shades and colors ranging from deep organic tones to light and airy neutrals. Our woven wood shades are built to last and resist bowing and stretching, keeping their natural shape for years. For more sophistication, you can add custom banding and matching valances for a complete look.
4. Luminette® Sheer Panels are an excellent choice for your sliding doors if you want an ethereal, flowing style. These sheers are mounted vertically so that you will have no light gaps for optimal sun protection and privacy. These shades are the perfect solution if your glass door faces a busy street or common area. Their sheer vertical fabric vanes hang gracefully and resemble the look of drapery. Opaque vanes provide 180-degree rotation that allows for unlimited light and privacy control. We carry Luminette® Sheer Panels in a stunning collection of colors, and textures.
