Versatile Vertical Blinds for a Sliding Door

Sliding doors are convenient space savers and when they’re made of glass, they provide an excellent view out of your home and allow natural light to flood in and illuminate a space. However, being able to control that light can be a challenge! Covering your sliding doors with the right vertical blinds is the top solution to provide privacy, light control, and temperature regulation to these spaces.

At Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design, our team of window treatment experts carries several vertical blind and shading options from Hunter Douglas, and we can help you select the ideal vertical blinds for your doors.

The Best Sliding Glass Door Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are an outstanding option for sliding glass doors because you can customize them to open to either side or split down the middle, so you won’t have to lift heavy horizontal blinds for access or to enjoy a view. They also don’t require as much care as other blinds because their vertical orientation gives dust less space to settle. With many styles, you can replace individual slats if they’re damaged instead of the whole set of blinds.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

If you prefer on-trend, contemporary design, Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are perfect for your sliding glass doors. The gliding panels are available in over 450 colors and materials, creating a striking backdrop for any room. Panel-track blinds are extra versatile because they can double as a room divider when you mount them from the ceiling. An interlocking bottom weight provides consistently smooth movement; unique top treatments give these window coverings a polished look.

Somner® Vertical Blinds

Somner® Vertical Blinds have a nearly endless number of customization options, with over 170 material and color combinations, including aluminum, vinyl, and fabric vanes. These are the perfect choice when you want your vertical blinds to make a statement. If your home has multiple sliding glass doors, you can use Somner® Vertical Blinds on all of them; change the material or color and have coordinating blinds throughout your home.

Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds

Clean, minimalist interiors call for blinds that follow suit. Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds have a subdued neutral palette and understated fabric or vinyl vanes, allowing your furniture and home accessories to draw more attention. An optional dust cover valance prevents dirt from settling on the track. Stacking options include left, right, split, or center, and the PermAssure® Safety Wand provides effortless movement.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

Named the 2022 Product of the Year by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA), Luminette® Sheer Panels are an excellent solution for sliding glass doors where privacy and lots of natural light are desired. The 3 ½” sheer panels move like delicate drapes but have the light control of standard vertical blinds. Luminette® Sheer Panels are also compatible with French doors and sidelights, making it easy to create a cohesive look in your home.

Luminette® Sheer Panels provide UV protection while softly diffusing sunlight. They’re available in over 80 fabrics and colors, including exclusive selections from the chic Alustra® Collection. You can create custom fabric accessories using any Luminette® Sheer Panels fabric with Accents by the Yard™. Control your Luminette® Sheer Panels with PowerView® Automation, a wand and cord combination, or a traveling wand that rotates the vanes and traverses the blinds.

Automation Options

Both Luminette® Sheer Panels and Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are compatible with the award-winning Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, which allows you to operate them using the PowerView® app, the Pebble® remote, or with basic voice commands when you pair your smart home assistant with the PowerView® Gateway. You can also make your home more energy efficient by setting schedules for your blinds to open or close at midday, even if you’re out of the house.

Choosing a Color for Vertical Blinds

Any window treatment should complement or contrast with the surrounding décor. You can choose vertical blinds in a neutral hue for a subtle accent or a bold shade in a cohesive tone that you carry across the space to create an exciting contrast. Another option is to coordinate your vertical blinds with an element in the room, like a piece of statement furniture or artwork. Textured surfaces on vinyl, fabric, or aluminum vanes are great for adding depth and visual interest without overwhelming a space. Another excellent way to add color to a room is by layering drapes over your vertical blinds for an elegant look.
