Warming Up Your MN Home with French Door Blinds & Shades
We’re very well acquainted with Old Man Winter in Minnesota, but we prefer to keep the frigid air outside where it belongs. Covering sliding glass and French doors is essential for a warm home, and Hunter Douglas shades and blinds are an alluring way to do it. At Viking Blinds, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas window treatments and can help you find the ideal French door blinds and French door shades for your home.
Cellular Shades for Sliding Glass Doors
The insulating qualities of cellular shades make them an outstanding choice for sliding glass doors. The oversized panes of glass in these doors can significantly impact the temperature of a room during the winter. Duette® Cellular Shades can reduce your heating energy use by as much as 20% and are available in over 150 color and fabric combinations to complement every interior. The Vertiglide™ system offers effortless operation on sliding glass doors and makes it easy to coordinate the shades on your sliding glass doors with other windows in the room.
French Door Shades
French doors are a fabulous example of fashion and function. They elevate the appearance of a room without being overly dramatic. Roman shades are a fantastic solution for French doors because they bring softness and movement that doesn’t overwhelm the individual doors.
Vignette® Roman Shades are a modern take on the style and look great in contemporary décor. These Hunter Douglas shades are available in many luxurious fabrics if you prefer a more upscale atmosphere. We love the aesthetic of flat or front fold styles with decorative trim.
French Door Blinds
Parkland® Wood Blinds are an exquisite accent for French doors. Genuine hardwood exudes warmth and welcoming charm while offering natural insulation. Adjustable slats allow you to enjoy sunlight without eliminating your privacy, and cordless lift systems give your blinds a clean, uncluttered appearance.
We recommend a light stain finish to make small rooms look more spacious and darker hues to make large rooms feel more intimate. Enhance the aesthetic of your Parkland® Wood Blinds with decorative tape or a cornice. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds perfectly mimic the look of natural wood while providing additional durability.
More Toasty Tips
Why stop with window coverings? Try some of these other ways to keep your house warm and cozy this winter:
- Use plush area rugs on hardwood or tile floors.
- Put a few overstuffed accent pillows and chunky-knit throw blankets in your living room.
- Enjoy the warming glow of candles - authentic or battery-powered is fine.
- Enjoy Mother Nature’s free heat by opening your shades at midday. Use
PowerView® Automation to adjust them even when you’re not at home.
