Choose Woven Shades for Your Sliding Glass Doors
When it comes to dressing large windows and patio doors, especially sliding glass doors, homeowners in the greater Boston area are always on the lookout for stylish, functional solutions.

Natural woven shades have become an increasingly popular choice, bringing texture, warmth, and relaxed sophistication to our clients’ homes across the region. If you're searching for unique, high-quality window coverings for your sliders, look no further than woven options made from natural materials.
At Barrows Custom Window Treatments, we specialize in creating custom window treatment solutions for your home. When it comes your sliding glass doors, you'll love what natural woven materials bring to the design.
Why Natural Woven Shades?
Natural woven shades—a type of shade typically crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo, reeds, grasses, and jute—offer an earthy, organic aesthetic that pairs beautifully with many interior styles. Whether your home leans coastal, contemporary, farmhouse, or traditional, these shades add the right touch of texture and depth to your decor.
Not only do these shades look great, but they also perform better than box-store blinds, thanks to their innovative construction with technology from Hunter Douglas. After all, for your windows and sliding glass doors, practicality and visual impact are both necessary elements!
This is why woven wood vertical shades are a perfect solution. They're available in various weaves, colors, and opacities with a range of control options, allowing you to manage the level of light and privacy in your home while maintaining a naturally beautiful look.
A Smart Alternative to Traditional Vertical Blinds
Standard vinyl vertical blinds might be functional, but they often lack charm and personality. In contrast, vertical woven window treatments are perfect for sliding glass doors because they bring nature inside while elevating the look of your room.
Unlike plastic blinds, woven wood shades are available in custom configurations, including vertical drapery-style operation or sliding fabric panels track systems—excellent choices for both windows and sliders. These shades glide effortlessly, allowing you to enjoy your patio or backyard view hassle-free.
Function Meets Style
Natural woven shades offer more than just beauty. Here are some of their key benefits:
- Light Control: Choose from light-filtering or room-darkening linings with Duolite®, which adds an additional liner to one roller depending on your privacy and light needs.
- Energy Efficiency: Natural fibers help block solar rays, keeping your room cooler in the summer—especially important for patio doors that receive full sun.
- Durability: High-quality woven wood shades are built to last, resisting wear and tear.
- Customization: With many textures, colors, and operating systems available, these shades are easily customized to match your interior. Plus, since they each have a natural variation from the materials used, each shade will go together though no two will be exactly the same.
Window Coverings for Sliders That Reflect Your Lifestyle
Sliding glass doors often lead to the most-used spaces in your home—whether it's your backyard, enclosed sunroom, or a three-season porch. Natural woven shades compliment your space, providing a timeless style that never feels forced or overly trendy.
