Nothing brings indoor/outdoor flow to a room better than big, expansive sliding glass doors. They offer beautiful views, easy ventilation and allow plenty of natural light into a room. Curtains, Veri Shades® and vertical blinds are the best window furnishings to cover them and get the insulation and light and privacy control your need; roller blinds may also work.
Let’s go through the pros and cons of each:
Curtains
Curtains work as long as you have enough space to the sides of your sliding door. They are the bulkiest of your options so consider how they’ll open. Will you have a single curtain that opens and stacks to the non opening/sliding side or a pair that meet in the middle? For this option, ensure there’s enough space on the opening/sliding side so the curtain can be drawn open and stacked clear of the door handle.
For light and privacy control choose double tracks with a sheer curtain underneath that remains drawn closed during the day.
The benefit of curtains is their superior thermal insulation properties and they offer the broadest choice of looks with different hanging lengths, a variety of hardware (ie, rods, rings and tracks), and an almost unending selection of fabrics to have them made from.
