Try Insulating Shades for Sliding Glass Doors

At Rebarts Interiors, we love the way that sliding glass doors can flood your interior with natural light and create a visual connection to your outdoor landscape. However, specific challenges go along with sliding glass doors. Their large glass surface area can result in heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ near Burlingame, Los Altos, San Carlos, and Menlo Park, California (CA)

Insulating shades from Hunter Douglas provide a solution by trapping air within their cellular pockets, creating a barrier that helps regulate indoor temperatures and helps you save money on utility bills throughout the year.

Vertical Honeycomb Blinds: Stylish and Insulating

In our opinion, vertical honeycomb blinds, otherwise known as vertical cellular shades, are the #1 solution to heat loss and gain at your sliding glass doors. Thankfully, Rebarts Interiors carries one of the most energy-efficient and temperature-regulating shades on the market: Duette® Cellular Shades. Let’s go over the primary benefits of Duette® Cellular Shades and why we think you’ll love them!

1. Energy Efficiency: Duette® Cellular Shades are designed with a unique cellular structure that traps air between two fabric layers and acts as a thermal insulator. This design helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and contributes to energy savings by reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

2. Light Control: Enjoy versatile light control with vertical honeycomb blinds. They are adjustable to allow you to control natural light while maintaining privacy. This is particularly beneficial for sliding glass doors, which are the gateway to your outdoor spaces.

3. Modern Look: Enhance the visual appeal of your interiors with the sleek and modern look of vertical honeycomb blinds. Duette® Cellular Shades are available in over 150 fabric and color choices, allowing you to have full creative control of your interior decor.
