Vertical Solutions for Busy Households

We love delicate fabric window coverings, but you may need a sturdier option if you have a busy home with kids and pets. Shutters are an excellent solution for patio doors and sidelights in bustling houses because they use solid materials and attach directly to the frame of doors and sidelights.

Choose 2 ½” wide louvers for slim sidelights and wider 3 ½” or 4 ½” styles for patio doors. Mix and match shutter colors and materials while maintaining a united aesthetic throughout your home. Hunter Douglas offers shutters made from hardwood, composite material, and vinyl to meet every preference and need.

Elegant Coverings for Sidelights and Patio Doors

Duette® Cellular Shades are one of our favorite solutions for patio doors and sidelights. They add exquisite texture to a space and offer unmatched insulation at the window. Choose from hundreds of fabrics, including options from the exclusive Alustra® Collection, and enjoy an opaque liner and sheer shade on the same headrail with the Duolite® system. The Vertiglide™ system opens to the side, making adjusting cellular shades on patio doors nearly effortless.

Luminette® Sheer Panels bring the elegant appearance of drapery to your patio doors and sidelights while diffusing sunlight into a soft, welcoming glow. The vanes rotate 180 degrees, giving you outstanding privacy and light control. Sheer fabric provides superior UV protection to keep your furniture and floors looking their best, and the 3 ½” wide vanes look great on sidelights and patio doors of every size.

Sidelight Window Coverings

Sidelights add visual interest to your home’s architecture and fill your entryway with natural light. You might consider leaving your sidelights uncovered, especially if they’re narrow, but we encourage you to cover sidelights of all sizes. Uncovered glass compromises your privacy and allows damaging UV rays to enter your home.

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are a fantastic choice if your home has sidelights but not patio doors. Metal blinds are sleek, easy to care for, and available in several finishes, including matte and metallic. They are also available in ½” wide micro slats that look spectacular on tall, slim sidelights.
