Choosing Custom Shutters for French Doors and Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding and french glass doors are common in most homes but usually come with a lack of privacy. If you’re trying to find window treatment options for an exterior glass door in your home, you may think your only choices are curtains or – heaven forbid – vertical blinds. But have no fear, there are much more tasteful options to choose from. You can keep up with your modern and elegant decor by choosing customized shutters for French doors and sliding glass doors.

 

Shutters for Sliding Glass Doors

Many people are unaware that this option exists. So forget those outdated vertical blinds for your sliding glass door and opt for customized shutters instead. Just like your sliding glass door, they’re set up on a track to easily slide open for easy entry or closed for complete privacy. You won’t need to deal with curtains that are always in the way or unsightly vertical blinds.

 

Shutters for French doors

French doors are meant to be beautiful statements in a home. Covering them up with curtains or mini blinds for privacy would be a shame. Luckily, you can install custom shutters instead. This ensures that you still have elegant looking doors, with much more privacy.

 

Wood options for exterior door shutters

If you choose to have painted shutters for your exterior doors, our basswood shutters are the best option. You can choose from any color you desire to match with your current decor.

Basswood

Alder wood

It is also the perfect wood to stain to your preference. We can come evaluate any existing stained wood in your home to make sure your new alder wood shutters will match perfectly.

Specialty Shutters for Uniquely-Shaped Windows

Buying the old victorian with the unique windows may have seemed like a good idea at the time. But now that you need window treatments, you’re probably wondering what you were thinking. Not every window is equal, and hat can be cause of a lot of headache when trying to find a solution for window treatments. Curtains are usually the first solution that comes to mind. But the shape of curtains can work against the design of a uniquely-shaped window. Luckily, specialty shutters is a great solution for this common issue. 

Read on to see why specialty shutters are the best option for your uniquely-shaped windows.

 

Options for oval and circle windows

Oval and circle windows are perfect candidates for custom shutters. A special type of shutter, called a sunburst shutter can fit these window shapes, giving you privacy and an elegant look that will increase your home’s value.

 

Specialty shutters for arched windows

For a window with an arch top, there’s not really a way to make semi-custom shades work. And curtains would most likely work against the design of the window.

Whether your window is one complete arch or has a small arch at the top of a square design, custom shutters will work best for either case. 

If you decide that the top arch of your windows doesn’t need shutters, you can always use specialty shutters on the lower portion. That way, you can show off that custom stained or leaded glass on top.

 

So don’t worry about what you’re going to do about your uniquely-shaped windows. Clearview Shutters has your back with a wide range of affordable options that can keep your home looking its best. We can match any color or stain in your home for the most custom look available. Contact us today for your free quote!
