What Are the Best French Door Coverings?

When you think of a French door, you’re likely imagining a set of doors that feature large glass panes that swing open and allow access to a gorgeous deck, balcony, or patio space. Their distinct style usually opens from the center and features several panes that allow in great views and welcome light into a space.

But sometimes, you need to protect your home from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Or maybe you would like to enjoy a greater sense of privacy in your home. That’s where our team at Chase’s Carpet and Blinds can help! We offer homeowners with the best Hunter Douglas window coverings for the French doors and windows in your home.

The Best French Door Coverings

If you’re looking for the perfect solution for French door coverings, we have a few tips to keep in mind when you’re selecting a shading solution.

• French doors swing open to allow for airflow and access—that’s why it’s important to make sure your window coverings can be mounted outside the window frame to ensure a great fit.
• Your French doors have handles, knobs, or other hardware that should be accessible for convenient control—so it is vital to choose a blind, shade, or shutter that allow for cut-outs to access important hardware.
• Like we mentioned above, when it comes to covering a French door, a great fit matters! When you work with our team, we measure your windows or doors to perfectly fit your window treatment and offer brackets and spacer blocks so that they fit perfectly and don’t shift when you operate your French doors.

Some of our favorite solutions for covering French doors that keep all of these factors in mind are Hunter Douglas cellular shades, shutters, and innovative sheer shades. Read on to learn more about some of our favorite options for covering French doors.

Duette® Cellular Shades for French Doors

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are an excellent choice for French doors.

Available in various colors and opacities, cellular shades let you control the amount of light entering your space with various operating systems, including cordless options for enhanced safety and convenience. Plus, the clean lines of Duette® Cellular Shades complement the elegant look of French doors without overwhelming them.
