The most common option for large windows and glass sliding doors has long been vertical blinds. Constant innovations in window coverings, and the influence of contemporary design, has drastically increased the number of solutions. Now, it’s not limited to just one way to cover those glass doors. We are seeing many clients wanting to remove vertical blinds from their home for a new look. But before you get rid of them, we’ve got some information you’re going to want to hear.
Bare Windows
Thinking about taking those vertical blinds down to enjoy the view? We get it…those sliding doors lead to a breathtaking view. But, think about what you’re inviting in. Bare windows mean a whole load of window issues like harsh glare, damaging UV rays, direct sunshine, increased temperature, and zero privacy.
Still Want to Remove Vertical Blinds?
Before you remove vertical blinds, you need a solid plan. We can help find the best sliding door window treatments that will fit with your lifestyle. Our expert window covering specialists will come to you for advice and inspiration. They’ll take measurements and provide a quote, so any questions can immediately be addressed. Let’s explore some options that will be best for your home.
That View!
Want to soak in the view? Have you heard of see-through fabrics called sheers? They have gotten really popular recently, and you’ll see why. One of our favorite collections is Luminette Privacy Sheers. Although they look like sheer drapery, they can shift to light blocking. These coverings slide on a specialty track that is simple and effective to easily access the outdoors.
Contemporary Design
This is a huge reason many homeowners think they want to remove vertical blinds. Contemporary design is important, and what you might realize is that it’s a refresh you need. Classic vertical blinds are still available and suitable for many homes. They are easy to operate and simple to style into a space.
Are you aware that you could get a wider panel with textures and colors that would scratch that contemporary itch you’ve been feeling? Sound like something you’d like? Check out Skyline Panel Track Blinds. They’re available in motorized and manual adjustments with wide panels coming in 11” and 17” widths. Pair them with Designer Roller shades since they share fabric collections for whole house coordination.
Interior Protection
We all know how tough bare windows and doors can be. Letting in harsh sun, annoying glare, and increasing the inside temperature to name a just few. If you’re trying to keep things cool and protect your home, it’s worth finding the right solution. For doors that get a lot of direct sunlight, vertical honeycomb shades are a great way to keep the temperature comfortable.
Vertical cellular shades make a barrier to insulate your interiors. They slide with ease whether choosing manual or motorization. Depending on your preferences, they will stack side-to-side, or even in the middle.
Make it Personal
Common feedback from homeowners wanting to remove vertical blinds is they don’t feel like they fit in with their personality. Custom drapes are a fabulous option we suggest to make a style statement in your home that may feel more “you.” Embrace the color and texture to compliment your style.
Timeless Touch
A very classical style approach to window treatments for sliding doors are plantation shutters. They have a bypass operation as they slide to match the door’s movements. Thus, they open with ease.
Within our collections of shutters, there are also bi-fold panel options. These shutters open when you want to reach the door or windows.
