Vertical blinds arrived in the 1950s, and an immediate kinship with sliding glass doors was found in our homes, as both use that telltale side-to-side motion. Since then, vertical blinds have undergone numerous reinventions and updates as technology and styles changed over the years. Today, our team will walk through some of our favorite vertical blinds for sliding glass doors and the modern advancements Hunter Douglas has added to create new styles of sliding glass door blinds for Michigan homes.

Hunter Douglas Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds near Holland, Michigan (MI)

Cadence® Vertical Blinds

Cadence® Vertical Blinds are a classic style of vertical blinds for sliding glass doors. Their vertical vanes come in fabric and vinyl options. For installation flexibility, you can set these vertical blinds to open from the left, right, center, or split. The blinds have over 40 materials and color choices for modern style customizations.

Luminette® Sheer Panels

Taking the basic design of vertical blinds and adding sheer material, Hunter Douglas created Luminette® Sheer Panels, a sliding glass door cover with the functionality of vertical blinds and the soft style of sheer shades. The additional sheer materials in this sliding glass door covering affect the aesthetic and add a layer of UV protection to protect your home's furnishings and flooring from UV damage. The 80-plus modern fabric options for Luminette® Sheer Panels are also part of the Hunter Douglas Accents by the Yard™ program. It lets homeowners purchase additional fabric to craft coordinating and custom accessories for full-style integration into their home decor.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds

Taking fabric elements to the next level, we have Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds from Hunter Douglas. These sliding glass door blinds use fabric-wrapped panels instead of the traditionally complex vanes of vertical blinds, giving homeowners a much larger visual canvas. Having over 450 options in the fabric collection for Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds means everyone's tastes can be accounted for with contemporary and traditional color and pattern options to suit a wide range of interior design styles. The innovative track system used with Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds can also be installed as a room divider, giving these sliding glass door blinds multiple applications in a home.

Motorized Sliding Glass Door Coverings

A significant modern improvement for sliding glass door coverings has come from motorized operating systems like PowerView® Automation. PowerView® Automation elevates user convenience with physical and online control options and performance efficiency with automated scheduling. Smart homes or Michigan households with home assistant programs, including Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, can also add PowerView® Automation into their existing system to control their sliding glass door blinds. PowerView® Automation is compatible with both Luminette® Sheer Panels and Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds.
