Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency This Summer with Sliding Glass Door Blinds
We love summer but are not so fond of the costs of keeping our homes cool. Homes with sliding glass doors are challenging to keep cool because of the amount of sunlight that passes through them. The good news is that there are many energy-efficient window coverings for sliding glass doors, and today, we’re telling you all about them.
Energy-Efficient Window Coverings for Sliding Glass Doors
Duette® Cellular Shades
Any window coverings will provide insulation, but some are better equipped than others. Please allow us to introduce you to Duette® Cellular Shades. They feature an innovative honeycomb-shaped interior that gives them superior insulation power. Cellular shades have a textured surface that adds endless depth and visual interest to your sliding glass doors, and they’re available in over 150 color and fabric choices, including options from the chic Alustra® Collection.
Sonnette® Roller Shades
Sonnette® Roller Shades are another favorite for sliding glass doors. They share the insulation capacity of cellular shades but have the ease of use and slim profile of roller shades. Semi-opaque and room-darkening opacity choices keep your home even more comfortable by keeping out more sunlight. Increase your privacy with the optional Kickback™ feature that pushes the fabric at the top of the headrail closer to the window when the shade is completely lowered. Upgrade your Sonnette® Roller Shades with PowerView® Automation, and enjoy the ability to close your blinds at noon even if you’re not home.
Cadence® Vertical Blinds
Cadence® Vertical Blinds offer the sumptuous appearance of drapery and provide full coverage for your sliding glass doors to keep sunlight out at the hottest time of day. The elegantly curved vanes are available in fabric and vinyl styles and rotate 180° to offer complete control of privacy and natural light. Tilt them open during the morning to enjoy the sunshine, and close them at midday to keep your home cool. Cadence® Vertical Blinds use the cordless PermAssure® Safety Wand to tilt and traverse the vanes.
Pair Custom Drapery with Sliding Glass Door Blinds
Layering drapes over the shades or blinds on your sliding glass doors will enhance their energy efficiency and give your home a dramatic, sophisticated appearance. Adding a liner to your drapes will protect them from fading, improve their insulation, and give your home a neat appearance from the outside. When you close the blinds and drapes simultaneously, you'll enjoy near-complete blackout conditions in a room.
