Exploring the World of Modern Door Coverings
While every home has doors, it’s not always clear how to dress them. After all, there are numerous different styles of doors, each with their own unique set of needs. Plus, the range of options for modern window coverings that work as door coverings is also immense, which can make the process of getting new treatments for your home’s doors seem overwhelming.
The team from Blinds & Us Seneca is here to help with a feature-packed exploration of both classic and modern door coverings in the Hunter Douglas collection. Keep reading to learn which of these window treatments might be right for your South Carolina home.
Breaking Down the Best Door Coverings
French Doors
To properly dress French doors, window treatments need to be tailored to cut-out shapes and installed directly to the door itself. The cut-outs will allow for the door’s features, like the handle, to remain usable as does the installation directly onto the door, so the treatment does not impede movement when the doors swing open or shut.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: Plantation style shutters are ideal for French doors with their hard louvers that can be customized to specialty shapes. With their adjustable slats, you can filter light and increase privacy with ease. Additionally, the look of these shutters works in traditional or contemporary interior design aesthetics.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: All the style of classic wood shutters with advanced features built in to elevate durability and add moisture and UV resistance. With their interior aluminum bracing, these hard-wearing shutters are great for doors in high-traffic areas.
Sliding Glass Doors
The challenge, of course, with sliding glass doors is that their side-to-side movements are in juxtaposition to the normal up-and-down movement of classic window shades. This makes motion a determining factor when selecting new door coverings for sliding glass doors, though Hunter Douglas has multiple styles available that traverse horizontally.
- Somner® Vertical Blinds: Vertical blinds were designed to be the ultimate door coverings for sliding glass doors with their ability to traverse horizontally and their light-blocking vertical vanes that help homeowners control light and UV rays, which may help lengthen the life of the furniture and flooring.
- Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: A modern spin on classic vertical blinds that traverse side-to-side like their predecessors but are a fabric-based treatment. In place of hard vertical vanes, panel-track blinds use fabric-wrapped panels that move along a track system for a window treatment with the same light control as vertical blinds but a vastly different aesthetic style.
Patio Doors
Exterior doors have special considerations when dressing that center largely around sunlight control, as sunlight can drastically affect the environmental conditions inside a home. Additionally, there are aesthetic considerations when working with door coverings as their size and dominant visual placement in a room affect the entire space.
- Drapery: Perhaps one of the most customizable options for door coverings with fabric selections that come in every color under the rainbow. Plus, drapery works seamlessly in layered door treatments for a one-of-a-kind style and elevated control.
- Luminette® Sheer Panels: An innovative mix of vertical blinds and drapery that has the light control of curtains and the soft style of sheers. With more than 80 fabric choices to consider, finding a shade or hue that complements your color scheme or interior design is a breeze.
