French Door Sophistication
French doors require a low-profile mount to ensure the shades don't obstruct the handle or the door's swing path.
- Top Pick: Zebra Shades.
- Design: The slim headrail fits neatly between the door frame and decorative handles.
- Lighting: Toggle between "Sheer" and "Private" modes without moving the door.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
For wide sliding doors, we recommend installing multiple individual shades side-by-side for maximum control.
- Top Pick: Motorized Roller Shades.
- Smart Grouping: Use your Alexa or Google Home routines to group multiple shades together, allowing them to rise and fall in perfect unison.
- Mounting: Use an Outside Mount above the door frame to allow the shade to disappear completely when not in use.
The "Handle Clearance" Check
Before ordering, measure how far your door handle protrudes from the frame. For a clean Inside Mount, you'll need at least 2.5" of clearance. If your handle is larger, an Outside Mount is the perfect solution.
Entryway Sidelights
Our motorized Roller Shades are the ideal solution for narrow sidelight windows. Because we custom-build every order, we can accommodate the unique, slim dimensions of front-door glass.
- Precision Fit: We specialize in narrow-width engineering to ensure smooth motorized operation in tight spaces.
- Privacy & Security: Use your smart home hub to schedule these shades to close automatically at sunset.
