Window Treatments for Doors

Choosing a window treatment for your door can be complicated, but oh-so important. Doors with windows open up the rooms they connect with by allowing natural light in and helping to create an open and airy ambiance. They are also incredibly important for creating privacy within a room. With this in mind, it is easy to see how their ability to enhance the home is multi-layered. The best option for your home’s doors will depend on the style of your home, the size and shape of the windows, and the uses of the rooms themselves. Luckily, there are custom options for window treatments for doors of every type in the Hunter Douglas collection, from energy saving cellular shades to old-world shutters with classic charm.

French Doors

With their grid of window panes, French doors (both interior and exterior) unlock interior spaces by visually connecting them creating a transitional zone both physically and decoratively. When choosing shades for French doors, keep that feeling of openness by selecting styles of window treatments for doors that maintain the view. For example, classic shutters whose slatted construction affords view-through visibility even when partially engaged. Structural considerations for French doors include the door handle that will need to remain accessible and mounting options for installing the treatment on the door itself. Our choise for window treatments for doors like French doors are our Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. These shutters offer classic style enhanced with modern materials for an ultra-durable window treatment that is ideal for both hot climates and French doors.

Sliding Glass Doors

The most obvious feature to consider when dressing sliding glass doors is their horizontal movement. Window treatments for doors that traverse side to side need to be able to mimic that movement, and so vertical window treatments are the obvious solution. And with today’s varied selection, there are vertical treatments to suit any décor, from traditional vertical blinds to sheer shadings and gliding fabric panels. Our choice for window treatments for doors including sliding glass doors are Skyline® Gliding Window Panels. The unique design of Skyline® Gliding Window Panels creates a fabric-forward option that’s stylish, striking, and easily customizable from the extensive fabric collection by Hunter Douglas.

Front Doors

In your home’s entryway, there may be multiple windows to treat. Windows like sidelights, transom windows, or insets in the front door itself, to name a few. These specialty windows often have unique shapes or can be on the smaller or more narrow side. So, to keep a consistent aesthetic, opt for window treatments for doors that have a great deal of flexibility to be customized and cut to order. Cellular honeycomb shades are one such treatment that can be made to fit arches, angles, trapezoids, hexagons, octagons, ovals, circles, sidelights, and have custom cut-out options. Our choice for window treatments for doors including entryway glass pieces are Duette® Honeycomb Shades. These create not only stylish window treatment for doors, but also help to improve the overall energy efficiency of your home with insulating cellular honeycomb shades.
