“I just don’t know what to do with my sliding glass doors!” Many clients visit our showroom at Naples Shutter with a clear idea of what they want on their windows – shutters, blinds, shades, draperies, etc. – but the comment we hear over and over again is, “What do I do with my sliding glass doors?” That’s why we created this handy list of the most popular and functional ways to treat sliding glass doors.

1: Sliding Plantation Shutters
Okay, okay, yes we are a plantation shutter factory so we may seem biased, but plantation shutters do make a wonderful addition to sliding glass doors in many cases. Plantation shutters are not just limited to windows. They are the perfect complement to doors of all kinds, including sliding glass doors. If you have shutters on your windows, create a continuous look by extending them to your doors as well. They offer tremendous architectural appeal, light control, heat control, and a clear view outside.
