French doors require special considerations when searching for a window treatment. Not only are the windows on French doors large windows, but the shape and size of the window covering must account for the door knob as well as the possible need for extension brackets or spacer blocks when the blinds or shades need to be mounted outside of the window frame. Hunter Douglas window treatments take these needs into consideration with a range of products that are perfect for French doors. NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters, for example, are available with cutouts. Additionally, the dovetail construction makes these stylish window treatments extra durable for shutters that will see a lot of use and movement.
Other shutter styles are also a great choice for your doors. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters are made of an innovative material that can withstand hot climates, humid conditions, and the sunlight entering through your glass door without ever warping, cracking, peeling, or discoloring. This makes these shutters a smart choice for the door since it has so much exposure to the outside.
Shutters are not the only option for French doors. Roman shades and roller shades with flat construction can fit behind the door handle and lie flush against the glass. For this reason, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades and Designer Roller Shades are both perfect for French doors, and they come in a variety of styles, colors, and designs to match the style of your home.
