One of the best things about living in the Sunshine State is that you can enjoy your indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces all year long. If you use your outdoor space frequently, then your patio door gets its share of use. You can add more style and protection to these expansive features with new Hunter Douglas shades.

Today, our team at Supershade South is delighted to discuss the benefits of new shades for your enclosed porch, patio, or sunroom. We’ll introduce a few window treatment ideas perfect for patio doors that will enhance your indoor/outdoor spaces with style and function.

Reasons Why You Should Protect an Enclosed Porch or Patio with Shades

UV Ray Protection: While the expansive glass surface of sliding doors and wide windows allows for generous views of the natural world, they also let in many harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Patio shades protect your furnishings, floors, and art and prevent fading and yellowing.

Increased Privacy: If your bedroom or bathroom has patio doors or French doors that open out to your yard or garden, shades are necessary to guarantee your privacy. If you live on a busy street or community, they can also help create a secluded interior, depending on your need for quiet and privacy. If you or a family member work remotely, privacy and quiet are essential for productivity in home offices, too.

Climate Control: Your doors and windows can leak in a lot of outside air, making your interior uncomfortable. Custom shades can help regulate the temperature, decrease your monthly energy consumption, and lower your cooling costs.

Designer Accents: We offer shades in a generous array of patterns, colors, and materials that offer a unique, customized appeal. Whether you have a traditional, modern, or rustic interior, you are certain to find one that complements any design motif.

Simplified Maintenance:  Windows can easily collect dust, dirt, and grime. Our shades are easy to keep clean by simply wiping down with a damp, soft cloth.

Increased Home Value:  A door or window without a window treatment can often be unsightly to potential guests and home buyers. If you ever plan to sell your home, add value with custom window treatments.

Window Treatment Ideas for Patio Doors

Now that you know the benefits of window treatments that lead to your outdoor spaces, let's explore some of our favorites:

• Sheers and Shadings are an excellent choice for patio doors and windows. Luminette® Sheer Panels provide a light, airy ambiance and quickly move from side to side, so your patio door is unobstructed when in constant use. Their vertical application will add a flowing, drapery-like aesthetic to your patio door or window. They will gently diffuse the light and transform your room with sophistication.
• Cellular Honeycomb Shades are your number one shade if energy efficiency is your priority. Honeycomb shades, or cellular shades, are the most insulating window treatments on the market and will reduce your monthly energy consumption. These shades trap hot air within their honeycomb-shaped pockets, so you can rest assured that your home stays cool during the intense Floridian summers. We offer cellular shades in various orientations, pleat sizes, colors, patterns, and textures.
• Roller & Solar Shades are ideal if you want a clean, simple look with a lot of functionality. Their appearance blends in to the background and allows your architectural features and outdoor views to shine. We carry opaque roller shades and sheer shades with different levels of opacity in a generous array of colors and patterns that will make your patio door center stage. Opt for the Duolite® feature, which combines two shade opacities in one roller for different light and privacy scenarios.
