Do Sliding Glass Door Window Treatments Improve Energy Efficiency?

During the summer, your sliding glass door becomes your California home's grand attraction, with friends and family parading in and out all day while hot air enters and cool air escapes. With the price of cooling a home skyrocketing, ensuring that your sliding door is appropriately treated with energy-efficient window treatments is crucial.

That's where we can help. Classic Window Shades proudly carries a wide selection of Hunter Douglas glass door window treatments. Here, we will highlight two of our favorites and explain how their select features improve your home's energy efficiency.

Sliding Door Window Treatments for Ultimate UV Protection

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers are an excellent window treatment for large expanses of glass, such as a sliding door. These luxurious window treatments combine sheers and blinds to provide ultimate protection from the sun. The less sun creeping into your home, the cooler your interior will remain.

Their rotating fabric 3 ½" vanes allow for perfect light management. We can fit them for single, double, and triple sliding glass doors. For further sun-blocking advantages, you can select room-darkening fabrics to ensure your home is quiet and sun free during intense California summer afternoons.

Sliding Door Shades for Increased Insulation

Duette® Cellular Shades feature an innovative cellular design, making them a perfect fit for sliding glass doors where so much cold air leaves your home. Their honeycomb pockets trap hot air to prevent it from entering your home.

Another energy-efficient feature of these state-of-the-art shades is their Vertiglide™ operating system. You can opt for one entire shade or split one into two, allowing for more varied light control options.

Duette® Architella Honeycomb Shades offer even more insulating properties with their honeycomb within a honeycomb design. Depending on your need to block out the sun, you can select from four opacities: sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and opaque.

To save even more money on your monthly energy bill, you can take advantage of our current cellular shades promotions:

  • The federal government offers an energy tax credit on select Duette® Honeycomb Shades. You can earn 30% of the purchase price back in the form of a tax credit of up to $1200.00.
  • Receive a $75 rebate per shade when you purchase 4 to 10 Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Purchase must include PowerView® Automation.
