Choosing Treatments for Sliding Doors

We love the iconic elegance that sliding doors add to a home. By creating an exciting flow that leads from your home’s indoors to your outdoor spaces, sliding doors add so much to your home’s value on a daily basis. But how do you select the right treatments to maximize these panoramic views of your backyard? Choosing an option that will allow you to make the most of the natural light that flows in while giving you privacy when you need it may be easier than you realize. Let Budget Blinds of Long Branch help you find the right choice to make sure you can enjoy this beautiful focal point. 

The functionality of window treatments in Ocean Grove that are specifically for sliding doors should be the top priority. Since they operate on a track, are large and heavy and are in frequent use by many members of the family, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the covering needs to work well with the operation of the door.  Functionality is everything.

Let’s think about the room where the sliding door is located. What sort of window treatments are being utilized in that space? One approach is to use a similar style for the sliders as you’re using for other windows in the space, for continuity.  If that isn’t possible, you may want to consider keeping to the same color palette, even if the type of window treatment is different. 

Considering the door itself, it is important to remember that by picking a window treatment in Ocean Grove that opens vertically in the same direction that the door opens will enhance the operation of the door itself, rather than fighting against it. The key is to avoid restricting the movement of the door. Also, make sure that the window treatment is durable since the door gets lots of usage.  

One popular choice for sliding doors is vertical blinds. Budget Blinds of Long Branch offers a large array of verticals in so many colors and materials that are able to stack tightly to the side, giving you a way to access the outdoors easily. Consider S-shaped vertical blinds for elevated style and even more dimension. Motorization added to verticals can give you an even easier and more convenient way to operate these gems.  

Sliding panel tracks are another viable option. A popular window treatment in Ocean Grove are sliding panels in beautiful graphic patterns. Think about woven wood models that add an inviting, eco-friendly vibe and amazing light filtering options. We love honeycomb vertical shades for their array of colors and insulating properties. 

Draperies are another brilliant window solution for sliding doors. There are so many possibilities including designer inspired patterns and bold colors that liven up any space. Drapery panels are also perfect to keep your home warm by blocking breezes from entering.
