How Do You Choose Window Coverings Or Curtains For A Patio Sliding Glass Door?
It can sometimes be a challenge to find appropriate window coverings for a sliding glass door. These should be both functional and attractive. Step 1 Buy a wooden rod with wooden brackets and rings. The rings will glide over the wooden rod and have clips to attach to the fabric of the curtains. Measure the sliding glass door and make sure that your rod is wider than the door so that the curtains can be opened all the way and will not obstruct the door. Step 2 Buy French swing arm curtain rods. These attach to the wall on each side of the sliding door and are hinged so that they have a swinging motion to cover the door when it is not in use, and to swing open and lay against the wall when the door is in use. These would be especially attractive in a room with French or Italian old world decor. Step 3 Purchase cellular shades that are made to close in a vertical fashion such as the Hunger Douglas Vertiglide. Step 4 Two Roman shades can be mounted above the sliding glass door side by side
