Window Treatments for Sliding Balcony Doors
My partner and I are currently building a house and we both like roller blinds throughout the house but are undecided when it comes to our bedroom. We have North facing bi-parting sliding doors that lead to our balcony which we are really excited to keep open at night to let in a breeze.
I really love the look of sheer linen curtains like the picture below, just because I think they make a statement and just look really luxurious. My partner isn't convinced as he wants an option that will block out light when we need it to and would prefer to continue the roller blinds throughout. I'm not sold on the roller blinds as we currently have roller blinds in the bedroom and they bang when the wind blows through the windows which is very annoying!
If any one has any advice or recommendations we would love to hear from you.

PRO7 years agoHey there Amy Williams, we may be slightly biased but we're huge fans of block out roller blinds (especially on the weekend when we're needing some sleep).
Would you consider having both the sheer curtain, and the roller blinds? The sound of the roller blinds as the breeze blows can be easily fixed by sticking some small foam bits on the parts of the blind that come into contact with the window edge.
This way you get the best of both worlds - the romanticism of sheer curtains, and style and functionality of block out roller blinds.

Comments (26)Hi Jiminico, I'm not known for my photography skills! I took these this morning as I was running out the door. Excuse the visual clutter! The screens are stacked back (not all the way)- so you can get an idea of the size of the opening when all is stacked back.

Comments (12)I agree that you need a blind like a roller or roman that goes up and out of kitty's way. Nobody has yet addressed your query about panel glides: Panel glides work best on large doors where there is room to stack the panels when opened. you will lose at least one third of your left glass door panel if you use panel glides and they also project into the room quite a bit....See MoreMixed window treatments
Comments (4)Hi JC Harry, the 2 window treatments should work together especially if they are close to each other. How that is achieved can be done in many ways. The roman blind could be the same fabric, it could have an element of the curtain fabric or vice versa - some of the design decisions I take will consider the rest of the room, the fabric selection suitability, proportions, and of course client requirements including style and budget.
