Cellular shades are the best window treatment solution for sliding glass doors for many reasons. Cellular shades provide excellent light control and energy efficiency and are easy to operate. At Harmony Blinds and Shutters in San Diego, CA, we carry Hunter Douglas, Alta, and Norman window treatments that can transform your sliding glass doors into an astounding aesthetic accent. We have three reasons to share with you why you should choose cellular shades to dress the sliding glass doors in your home.

#1 Cellular Shades are Insulating

Cellular shades get their name from the fabric cells that compose them. These fabric cells trap air against the window, providing an extra layer of insulation that helps to regulate the temperature in your home. This extra insulation reduces energy usage in your home and keeps it at a comfortable temperature year-round.

This insulating layer also absorbs sound to have a quieter house. This is particularly helpful at night when people are trying to sleep or in other rooms where peace is paramount, like nurseries or home offices.

Harmony Blinds and Shutters carries both Alta and Hunter Douglas cellular shades, and we would be happy to help you find which one is best for your home.

#2 Cellular Shades Come in Multiple Fabrics and Opacities

Cellular shades for sliding glass doors come in fabrics ranging from sheer to room-darkening so that you can prioritize a view or privacy depending on your wants and needs. You can even choose a dual shade, which would give you the best of both sheer and room-darkening worlds.

• Hunter Douglas Duette Cellular Shades come in over 150 colors and fabrics, including luxury fabrics and fabrics that contain up to 50% recycled material.
• Alta Honeycomb Shades are available in 539 wrinkle-resistant and stain-resistant fabrics and colors.

#3: Cellular Shades Offer Excellent Light Control

Your sliding glass doors let in beautiful, natural light. While that can be pretty, it can damage your furniture, flooring, and artwork. You can select from several fabrics perfect for cellular shades for patio doors:

• Sheer or semi-sheer fabrics will let you see through to the outdoors so you can keep an eye on the kids. This will also offer UV protection, let in light, and provide daytime privacy. 
• Opaque and room-darkening fabrics have less openness, so you can’t see out, others can’t see in, and light is blocked out.
• Dual shades will let you choose two options. They operate independently, so you can enjoy both natural light and privacy when you want it.
• Combine the shades with motorization so you don’t have to do anything – the shades open when you want them to, on a schedule.
