How to Choose Coverings for Doors and Entryway Windows

For the Door

With multiple operating systems and design styles compatible with vertical operation, cellular shades work on front doors of all kinds, whether they swing or slide open. Duette® Cellular Shades have applications as coverings for doors, including front doors, patio doors, French doors, and sliding glass doors. With the renowned insulation and energy efficiency of Hunter Douglas cellular shades, every door and window covered can make a real impact on a household’s energy efficiency.

Hunter Douglas also has a hybrid cellular treatment perfect for homeowners interested in front door roller shades. Sonnette® Roller Shades have the sleek design of a roller shade with an interior construction similar to cellular shades. Their roller shade side is perfect for tighter areas of the home, like an entryway, because of their streamlined profile that doesn’t overly intrude into the interior areas. With an insulating cellular build, these front door roller shades elevate insulation for better temperature control.

For Sidelights

Sidelights, be they flanking doors or windows in an entryway, will have a decidedly vertical emphasis. As such, we love using Hunter Douglas sheer shades as their design, with the seamless use of fabrics with multiple opacities and a range of light control; plus, the unified fabric design minimizes the dimensional space occupied by the window treatment. Luminette® Sheer Panels, Pirouette® Sheer Shades, and Silhouette® Sheer Shades all have applications for sidelights, and their light-loving sheer fabrics help to open up smaller spaces like an entryway to make the area feel more spacious. Hunter Douglas sheer shades can also be used for coverings for doors.

For Specialty Window Shapes

With hard vanes, blinds can be incredibly responsive in design when it comes to matching the unique angles of specialty window shapes in the entryway. Hunter Douglas wood blinds can be shaped to fit arches, angled windows, and cut-out shapes. Parkland® Wood Blinds can also be installed on French doors for multiple applications in entryway areas.

Hunter Douglas faux-wood blinds have the additional benefit of being both UV and moisture-resistant. So, when it comes to door treatments, these blinds can block sunlight without suffering any of the typical signs of sun damage from prolonged exposure, such as discoloration or color fading, warping, or bowing of the veins.

For All 3

Some of the most versatile entryway treatments are plantation shutters. Hunter Douglas wood shutters can be fashioned as front door shutters for door styles that slide or swing open (i.e., sliding glass doors or French doors). Plantation shutters for front doors can also be used on the corresponding sidelights for a matching look, as well as other specialty windows in the entryway area, such as oval or circular windows, hexagons and trapezoids, angled windows, and arches.
