Didn't you just hate those cheap plastic vertical blinds that were the first window coverings made especially for sliding privacy glass doors? They were flimsy, the tracks didn't slide easily, and they were stiff and cold. Then there were the heavy draperies that were always in the way. Today, though, manufacturers have listened to what consumers are saying and have devised numerous better ways to cover your sliding doors. Everything from blinds to shades to window wallpaper is available to help you make a decorating statement in your home. Blinds are an excellent choice when you're looking to cover your sliding glass doors. Although you can still buy vertical blinds if you like, they are much more elegant, operate more easily, and have a better design than the old ones that everyone hated. Another choice is panel blinds which look beautiful and operate neatly and compactly. They are available in many beautiful neutral shades and make any room look organized and elegant.
Different types of shades have been designed to fit sliding doors. Cellular shades are made in one piece and slide back and forth on a track. When open they pile on themselves neatly at one side of the door. Cellular shades often have a reflective backing that will keep harmful rays from the sun from getting into your home. Unfortunately, though, the material they are made from is quite delicate, so they aren't very child or pet friendly. Vertical sheer shades are another option you can choose from. They give you the light control of a shade along with the elegance of a drapery, and they offer complete privacy when they are closed.
Wallpaper for windows is a decorative window film that ensures privacy while still letting in natural light. This film comes in many different colors and designs to complement your exclusive décor as your architectural glass walls well as several different styles. It's self-adhesive and reusable, a project that you can do yourself at home in your spare time. It isn't very expensive, so if you get tired of the pattern you have, you can peel it off and buy something different. You can also take the pieces you remove and cut them to fit another window if you like, because window wallpaper is reusable.
