Three Top Styles of Patio Door Coverings

Large doors leading to a luxurious patio setting come in various styles and are often the focal point of a kitchen, dining, or family room. Whether you have a hinged, a sliding French, or a contemporary sliding door, proper window treatments are essential to add design appeal, preserve your privacy, manage the light, and add protection from harmful elements.

Here at Seeview Blinds, we have chosen three of our favorite patio door coverings that we think will help you achieve the perfect aesthetic for your home!

Rolling Shutters: Nothing Short of a Miracle

Rolling Shutters are an exterior door and window treatment that is an excellent choice for coastal homes. They are mounted to the patio door’s exterior frame and can be motorized so you can control them while you are away from home. This is nothing short of a miracle when threatening storms approach while you are at work or out of town.

Not only will they protect your patio door in severe weather, but they will also offer added insulation that can help your home handle the fluctuating temperatures of coastal regions. Coming in various designer colors, they will add value and beauty to your home and are a great choice for specifically covering patio doors.

Vertical Blinds for Aesthetic Height

Any vertical line will instantly add height to any door, making the room appear larger. While we carry a variety of Vertical Blinds, Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds are a great fit for contemporary sliding doors.

They are specifically designed for large doors and windows. Because of the designed track system and weighted bottoms, the panels hang gracefully smoothly and open and close. Offered in over 600 fabric choices, Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds will add sophistication, privacy, and protection from the sun to your patio door.

Privacy Sheers for Perfected Nuance

Luminette® Privacy Sheers are another excellent option for any patio door. These sheers consist of vertical vanes of interchanging opaque and sheer fabrics that rotate up to 180 degrees to offer a variety of lighting settings. And just like vertical blinds, the long lengths of the vanes will add height to any patio door.

They can be easily operated with PowerView® automation, so there is no fussing with cords or wands. If you prefer a wand, this control option is also available alongside many others. Coming in various fabrics, textures, and colors, Luminette Privacy Sheers® will add a flowing softness to your patio door, and give you the control over light and privacy that you need.

Color is evolving and changing with every passing year. The 2025 Color of the Year was announced by Pantone Color Institute : Mocha Mousse. It’s always fun to see how it is being incorporated and expressed in the design world. We are pulling inspiration from this new hue and embracing the brown.
