Roman Shades also function well with everyday use, so they’re great for high-traffic areas.

All shades and curtains for sliding glass doors can be crafted in widths up to 144”, so you can cover a wide set of sliding doors with one shade or opt for multiple shades to dress the space. 

Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors
