Roller Shades (Motorized or Standard)
Roller Shades is one of my favorite slider applications. They have a large variety of fabric options regarding style and functionality. They come in many different opacities ( The opacity of the roller shade is how much you can see out/in.) Everyone has a distinct need for their shades. Some want privacy, some would like to keep heat out, some would like to cut glare but keep their view, and others may want to ensure a pitch-black room when sleeping. When choosing your window covering, it is always important to share with us your primary purposes for this shade so we can ensure you’re satisfied with your selection.



Sliding Panel Track System

The sliding panel track system is a style of roller shades for sliding glass doors. Some people do not prefer the “up and down method” of typical roller shades. This option allows you to open side to side while keeping the option of having many fabrics to choose from. This system can be motorized and non-motorized, and although it is typically used for a sliding glass door application, you may also use it on windows throughout your home. This is one of the best window coverings for sliding glass doors.
Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters come in a couple of different ways to fit your space. The most popular is bi-pass. They are made of Poplar wood and come with a lifetime warranty. These shutters are durable and hold their value for a long time if properly cared for. Many who already have shutters throughout their home will choose to put them on their slider, as it makes everything look uniform. Shutters offer an exquisite feel to your home.

Vertical Sheer Shades

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are typically one of the slider’s most cost-effective options. People usually choose this application for rental units or when on a tight budget. We will sell you these blinds but do not usually recommend them to anyone. With so many moving parts with these, it is hard to keep them in perfect condition. The vanes will sometimes fall off and break. A bunch of plastic pieces keeps them up, and they wear over time from sun damage. This is inevitable. I recommend these are not used in very high-traffic areas or around kids, as I am sure we’ve all had experiences with these vanes falling.
