French doors are an aesthetically pleasing part of the interior design. They are renowned for their stunningly large glass panes allowing natural light to enter the home. These panes span most of the doors, providing a view that reaches beyond the interior part of the home. Unfortunately, with its benefits comes issues such as light control, harmful UV rays, and privacy problems.<\/p>\n
With large glass panes, we treat French doors as we treat windows. The difference between covering a window versus a French door comes down to how the opening is used daily. In this case, as an entry and exit point versus a window, we rarely touch. This is why shutters are especially good for doors. They don’t rattle around while you open and close the doors. They are also an extremely durable and safe option for homes with pets and children.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All of us have passed through a door with blinds hanging on the door, swaying, rattling, and getting caught with the loop in the opening and oftentimes with broken slats. This is the major difference in deciding what window coverings to use on doors. This is also the reason why we love plantation shutters on French doors.<\/p>\n A difference in the design and installation process of plantation shutters on doors versus windows is the mounting of the frame. Often we can mount the frame of the shutter on the inside of the window frame, allowing the shutter to sit flush to the window. On doors, we have to mount the frame on the outside. While this is the only option for installation, it makes the shutter protrude out from the door.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>If you’re looking to cover up your large sliding glass doors, we recommend one of these three window treatments<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat’s the difference between window treatments on doors vs windows?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n
