The difference now is that there are literally hundreds of choices in fabrics, colors, prices and features, so that you can custom create the exact look you desire.

Higher end verticals offer beautiful fabric patterns that can be as subtle or dramatic as you desire.

What about other choices in window treatments for patio doors?

Wood shutters offer the flexibility of natural wood finish or can be painted to match the decor of the room. The shutters can be opened on just the exit door, with the remaining shutters intact. It is a stylish, custom decor statement in any home.

Honeycomb shades are a great option in sliding door treatments. I have used this type of treatment in my home and was extremely happy with the light filtering and privacy offered when desired, yet they were opened, you didn't even know they were there! A great choice when you want the window treatment to 'disappear' during the day.

Hang a valance window treatment that matches your decor and the honeycomb shades will not be seen at all unless you want them closed.

Drapes are always an option as a sliding door treatment, and this may suit your taste and decorating style perfectly. One option is to hang the drapes from a decorative rod so that you can easily pull them open and closed. It's a little less formal look but will fit in just about any decorating style.

Whatever your style or desire, there is a sliding door window treatment just for you!
