Ways to Cover Sliding Glass Doors

We get the question often: “How can I cover my sliding glass door for privacy, light control and ease of use?” The Austin area is known for being a great place to live, where we can enjoy our outdoor spaces for much of the year. Because sliding glass doors are similar to large windows, it makes sense that homeowners would need the ability to block out the intense Texas sun. But, it’s also important to utilize the doors regularly. Here are examples of several ways Austin Window Fashions has helped cover sliding glass doors.

Verticals

Vertical shades like Hunter Douglas Luminette Privacy Sheers are always a winner. They let in natural light and landscape views, but easily rotate interior vanes to block it all out.
