Sliding Glass Doors: Choosing the Perfect Window Covering

Are you searching for the perfect window covering for your sliding glass door for your St. Pete Beach home? Our team at Joann’s Interiors is no stranger to the classic Florida home feature of sliding glass doors. These doors require special care and often become a centerpiece of our homes. They often lead out to gorgeous patios, lanais, and pools, so it can become tricky to choose a window treatment for these doors that will perfectly balance privacy and light control while also preserving our view of these beautiful outdoor spaces.

Our extensive collection of Hunter Douglas window treatments provides plenty of options that meet all these criteria and more, and we’re going to show you three of our absolute favorite selections for your home’s sliding glass doors.

1. Luminette® Sheer Panels

If you're looking to maintain privacy while allowing filtered natural light to grace your living space, Luminette® Sheer Panels are an excellent choice. With their length, these sheer vertical blinds are designed to complement the aesthetic of sliding glass doors. Their sheer fabric softly diffuses sunlight, reducing glare and harmful UV rays while providing a degree of privacy. Since they come in various fabric and color options, you can find the perfect match for your home's decor.

2. Duette® Cellular Shades

St. Pete Beach's tropical climate can bring scorching heat and unpredictable weather. Duette® Cellular Shades are ideal for insulation and energy efficiency. These cellular shades trap air in their pockets, providing excellent insulation year-round. They’re available in various opacities, allowing you to control the amount of light entering your home while also protecting your interior from the harsh Florida sun. This shade is a fantastic option for your sliding glass door if you value the ability to prevent harsh sun from entering your room via the large expanses of glass. These shades trap heat at the source to prevent your air conditioning from being overrun. Even better, you can choose from hundreds of fabric and color options that complement your space.

3. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters

Living near the beach means exposure to salty air and humidity. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are the perfect solution for St. Pete Beach's coastal conditions. These shutters resist warping, cracking, and fading, ensuring their longevity. They provide ultimate privacy and light control and can be customized to fit your sliding glass doors seamlessly. They’re also excellent for protecting your interior from UV damage. The best part? The sun won’t fade their paint job over time like it might for other shutter options.
