Using Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors
When considering window treatments for sliding glass doors, options like curtains, vertical blinds, or shades usually come to mind. Yet custom shutters are an excellent alternative that homeowners sometimes overlook.
Visual Creations features Hunter Douglas window treatments, and our team presents our stunning selection to our clients looking for sliding glass door window coverings. If you haven’t thought about shutters for sliding glass doors, we’re excited to share some of the benefits that these window coverings offer.
What Are Shutters?
Shutters are solid window coverings made up of a frame with vertical bars (stiles) and horizontal rails. Within this frame, you’ll see fixed or adjustable louvers or panels. Shutters traditionally feature wood, composite materials, or vinyl. They’re installed onto windows and sliding glass doors by attaching a frame to the window or door opening.
Shutters for sliding glass doors offer easy access to the door with design appeal and practicality. You can tilt the adjustable louvers to control light and privacy, making them perfect for sliding glass doors.
Why Choose Sliding Door Shutters?
Shutters work well on sliding glass doors for several reasons:
- You can easily adjust the louvers to let in as much or as little light as you want, which is practical in rooms that receive direct sunlight. Sliding door shutters can also protect your furniture and flooring from UV damage.
- Shutters provide insulation. Their sturdy construction helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can lead to energy savings.
- You can angle the louvers to block the view from outside without completely darkening the room.
- Shutters are easy to maintain. Fabric window treatments can attract dust and require regular washing, but you can wipe shutters with a damp cloth.
