What kind of window treatment do I put on a sliding patio door ?

Usually I like to treat a sliding door window treatment with the orientation of the door. If the door slides to one side I believe the treatment should as well.

This is an example of a Hunter Douglas Vertiglide. It is made up of same fabrics used for the Hunter Douglas Duette but the fabric has vertical pleats. The fabric slides inside of a headrail  and stacks tightly on the side of the opening. This treatment is very  efficient which is a big factor for sliding doors.

Shown on the patio door is a Hunter Douglas Skyline Gliding Panel. This system is made up of panels that slide in the track to one side. It is available in a wide range of  fabrics and colors. Skyline Gliding panels offer a sleek and contemporary look. Each panel is finished with an interlocking bottom weight which adds stability and smooth operation.

The Hunter Douglas Luminette also works great for patio doors. The Luminette is made up of 100% polyester sheer fabric with crisp, tailored fabric vanes that rotate for the desired amount of light and privacy. The luminette can also draw to run side to clear the patio door completely.

The vertical blind is also a treatment that works nicely for patio doors. The 3.5" louvers rotate to control the light and also the blind can be traversed across the track to clear the window.

The last but not least are draw draperies. A lined drapery adds insulation and softness to a patio door. Keep in mind when the draperies are open and stacked to the side it will cover the window opening quite a bit depending  the amount of fullness and fabric used.
