The right window treatments make a world of difference, helping you keep cool while adding style and comfort to your space.

Why Patio Door Window Treatments Matter

Top Hunter Douglas Window Treatments for Patio Doors

Duette® Cellular Shades

Luminette® Sheer Panels

Luminette® Sheer Panels combine the elegance of drapery with the functionality of vertical blinds. Sheer fabric panels diffuse sunlight, softening harsh rays while still letting light filter in. Adjustable vanes give you control over privacy and glare, so you can enjoy your view without overheating your living room. Luminette® Sheer Panels work beautifully in open-concept spaces and add a touch of sophistication to any décor.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

For a modern, streamlined look, consider Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. When open, these broad cloth panels stack tightly and glide smoothly over a rail. They provide striking elegance and superior coverage, making them perfect for wide patio doors or vast windows. It is simple to match with your furniture or add a splash of color with the hundreds of fabrics and finishes available.

Shutters

Shutters, like the Heritance® Hardwood Shutters or Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters from Hunter Douglas, offer timeless style and lasting durability. They’re easy to clean and can be custom-fit for patio doors. Shutters add architectural interest and provide excellent control over light and airflow—just tilt the louvers to let in a breeze or close them tight to block the midday sun.
