French doors are a great way to introduce more natural light into your home. Today’s styles offer more flexibility than ever before, including wider panes of glass, sliding panels and multi-panel options. In the past, French doors were often covered with scrunched curtains or mini blinds. These styles are dated and can be difficult to keep clean. They also may not work well if your doors slide or have multiple panels that fold together accordion style when open. When you work with a window treatment professional like Louver Shop, you can give your French doors the fresh look they deserve. We’re here to provide expertise every step of the way, from free consultation to professional installation. Here are a few of our favorite best window treatments for French doors.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are a versatile option for French doors. You can fully customize yours with the help of a window treatment professional from Louver Shop. From material to stain to louver size, your plantation shutters can look exactly how you pictured them. Wood plantation shutters are a great option if your French doors don’t get a lot of sun or heat. If your French doors are in a sunny room, we recommend our LouverWood® plantation shutters. The faux wood shutters are made from a solid polymer that stands up to strong sunlight and humidity without warping, yellowing or cracking. This material also provides superior insulation capabilities, which are up to three times better than wood. That’s savings you may be able to see on your energy bills year-round! We custom manufacture all our plantation shutters here in the United States, so you can add all the features you want most. This includes cutouts for doorknobs and track frames, if you’d like the option to be able to slide your shutters out of the way.
Shades
Here are four of our most popular custom shades for French doors. Duette® honeycomb shades can help you save more on heating and cooling costs. Since much of your home’s energy is lost at the windows, these shades use insulating pockets for insulation and temperature control. Duette is a versatile shade that can be used throughout your home, from skylights to uniquely shaped windows. Make these shades your own with smart home automation, designer fabrics and room-darkening capabilities. Provenance® shades are a great way to add a natural look to your home. These shades are made from natural woods, reeds, grasses and bamboo. They’re available in three styles—Roman, waterfall Roman and vertical—so you can create a cohesive style throughout your home. And they’re crafted with special weaving techniques to ensure durability and beauty for years. Customize yours with smart home automation, room-darkening liners and decorative options like edge banding or valances. Silhouette® shades beautifully combine the look of curtains with the functionality of blinds. These shades feature S-shaped vanes that float between two layers of fabric. The vanes can be adjusted for privacy and light control, while the fabric transforms bright sunlight into a soft glow. You can choose from custom features like smart home automation to move your shades, a room-darkening roller shade and designer fabrics. Solera® shades combine the best of Roman shades and honeycomb shades. The result is a beautiful window treatment that can help keep your home more comfortable, no matter the temperature outside. Choose from a variety of light-filtering to room-darkening fabrics, from woven to patterned and textured. You can also make operating your shades even easier by adding PowerView® automation, which allows you to control your shades with a tap of your phone.
