Shades that are mounted to French doors or single swing doors often want to sway around and bang as the door is opened and closed. However, our Solar Shield Shades have magnetic hold downs that allow you to raise and lower your shade without the need to bend down and unhook any clips. The magnets snap together automatically when the shade is lowered, and they pull away when the shade is raised. This is another solution that we have designed with our clients in mind!

We have some very specific products that work well with French Doors and single swing doors.

- Plantation Shutters offer a very strong, solid product that offer tilting louvers for maximum privacy and light control. The door hardware is no issue as our shutters can have French Door cutouts that fit perfectly around your door handle, deadbolt, or knob.

- Roller Shades are a very sleek option that allow the fabric of the shade to stay very close to the face of the door and glass. This is a great option when you really want your door glass to be as open as possible during the day, but at night you want to close off the glass for full privacy. With our magnetic hold down system, you will have a very easy user experience, and have the control over your glass all day long.

- Honeycomb Shades are another great option depending on your goal with your doors. Our Honeycomb Shades can be mounted with a frame system to provide you ample light control and very good structure on your door as it opens and closes. You also have the option for Top Down / Bottom Up operation so you can set your privacy line anywhere you'd like throughout the day.

- Frosted Window Film is sometimes the best option if you just need privacy all the time, and aren't as worried about seeing out through the glass. This all depends on your space and how you want to use the door and glass.

- Faux Wood Blinds are not always considered the best option for a swinging door, but there are some cases where they still work great, look amazing, and give the exact function you are looking for when mounted on a French Door. Much of this depends on your other windows surrounding the door, as well as the swing of the door, and the position of the hardware.

- Roman Shades offer a very good functionality with swing doors and French Doors. The fabric sits tight against the glass for maximum privacy and light control, and the fabric offers a softening of the door. Use this option to tie colors and textures to your room.

No matter what you are wanting to achieve with your French Doors or swing doors, we have a great solution that we will customize just for you!
