Sliding Glass Door Curtains

How long they should be depends on the aesthetic. If you want a cleaner look, make sure these curtains kiss the floor or have a half-inch clearing. Extra inches can add a dramatic effect, but they can be a hassle when they are dragging on the floor. It’s ultimately up to preference!

It is easy to size curtains for sliding glass doors.

1. Get the width of your patio door. Multiply that by 1.5 to make the curtains look full.(e.g. A 60” curtain would need 90” width.)
2. Cut that number in half for each panel size. So, take the 90 from step one, and cut it in half to get 45. 

It’s intimidating at first, but if you continue measuring, you’ll discover the formula is quite simple!

Yes! We make all of our window covers in-house. So, we can make any height or width you need, giving you the most coverage and privacy for a fair price. And unlike many custom orders that take weeks, we can make your curtains in two work days with fast shipping. We also have different price options too, depending on size and needs. 

Of course. It will work well if you have space to push the curtain to one side. Just check the stackback distance. That is how much room the curtain takes up when it is pulled back. That said, very long rods often have a middle support bracket. This can make it hard to move one big panel.

We are working to add rods and tracks to our site. We already cooperate with companies that make rods and tracks. Just send us your sizes, and we will help you find the right track. This way, your window treatments will be perfectly mounted and look gorgeous!

No matter the type of curtain, you should use ceiling or wall-mounted traverse tracks.  It’s a lot different than mounting curtains in your bedroom.

To mount, you will need a curtain track, gliders, and brackets or supports. You’ll also need mounting screws, anchors, and end stops. For long spans, we’d recommend connectors. Most mounting hardware you purchase will have a book or other reference you can use to determine the exact installation instructions. 

Blackout or thick linen curtains will keep nosy neighbors from looking inside your home! Choosing a blackout curtain as a patio door curtain will prevent anything from showing, including the sun. Meanwhile, a thick linen product will let some sun in while giving some semblance of privacy. 

Yes! Double tracks work amazing if you want two layers. For example, you may want a sheer patio door curtain to let in some sun, and a thicker blackout to keep the sun out during hot days, or when you want privacy. Plus, the layered look will make your patio door curtain setup look gorgeous!

They can work for a sliding patio door, but they’re not ideal. Your patio door needs a long, wide panel that works with tracks. A regular patio door curtain will usually end up being too short or narrow for a sliding door.

Fading, frayed seams, or a reduced light blocking ability for blackout curtains may be a sign it’s time to replace them! Otherwise, most curtains can last a decade if taken care of properly.

Every household object seems to have a smart home version, and that includes curtain tracks for sliding glass doors. These motorized curtain tracks can connect to your favorite smart home assistant, making it easy to open and shut through your mobile device. You can even schedule them periodically; for example, programming the tracks to close at night when you want a little privacy! 

Which sliding door curtains you should get depends on your budget and needs. 

Want a low-maintenance, minimalist option at a lower price? Blinds are a great window treatment option, and they are easy to install. Do you want insulation, soundproofing, and for your sliding door to look pretty? Does the sliding door sit near a bedroom? Pick curtains. 

That said, why not both? Some homeowners have found combinations that make their sliding glass doors truly stand out. 

Ideally, your rod will continue to extend 8-12 inches past each side. You’ll get full coverage, and your window treatments will look gorgeous doing so. 

We recommend mounting it about 5-6 inches above the top of the door frame. This will help your shade glide easily without getting caught up in the door. 

Nope, depending on the product you have purchased. You can purchase adhesive hooks or tension rods that will continue to hold up your window treatments for a long time. But heavier curtains, such as thick blackout curtains, may require drilling. 

If you want to prevent any sagging, you should purchase a center support bracket if your curtain product is over 60 inches in width. 

Of course. Our blackout curtain lineup also includes thermal or insulated curtains, keeping your room quiet and warm during the wintertime. Say bye to expensive heating bills or noisy neighbors. 

For minor stains, spot cleaning works the best. Machine washing also works well, but the gentler the setting, the better. Depending on the product, such as velvet blackout curtains, you may need special dry cleaning. 

You can, but be sure to use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage. Blackout curtains should be steamed instead to avoid any damage to the lining. 

Every two weeks is good for keeping dust away. Use a light vacuum cleaner, or a lint roll. Deep clean them every 3-6 months, depending on light exposure and air quality. 

Yes, especially blackout or thermal curtains. In the summer, blackout curtains can stop sunlight from making your room feel toasty. On the other hand, thermal curtains will keep the warmth inside your room during the winter

Yes, especially if you layer a thicker blackout door curtain with a thinner sheer. 

Light colors work well for sunlight reflection, and can make a space have an airy feel to it. Dark colors can control light and give a cozy feeling overall. It honestly depends on your preference, however.
