Discover Window Treatment Ideas for Metal Doors
Metal doors are known for their durability and industrial appeal, but they can have windows that need covering. The sleek surface can sometimes create a stark look, so enhancing the glass panels can increase the visual appeal and improve comfort with light control and privacy.
Shop window treatments in Tacoma, Washington, at Smart PNW, where our team will help you choose from several options.
Four Window Treatment Ideas for Metal Doors
Whether you want to soften the industrial look or add a layer of insulation, window treatments like the following ideas make a noticeable improvement.
1. Hunter Douglas Roller Shades
Minimalistic, modern roller shades rotate up neatly into a compact casing at the top, complementing the already streamlined appearance. These shades come in different materials and colors, and you can match them to your existing decor. Roller shades control light well; you can adjust them to block the sun out or let it in.
If light control is a top priority, consider shades with a blackout option to reduce light exposure completely.
2. Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades
Cellular shades, or honeycomb shades, provide excellent energy efficiency. Their structure traps air, creating an insulating barrier between the window and the room. The shade’s insulation helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, which is beneficial for metal doors that can become hot or cold depending on the weather. Cellular shades come in various opacities, with options that offer privacy, light diffusion, or complete blackout.
3. Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
Mini blinds fit well within the window frame of metal doors. These blinds have narrow aluminum or plastic slats, making them long-lasting and easy to maintain. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds offer a minimalist look that complements the clean lines of metal doors.
4. Hunter Douglas Pirouette® Sheer Shades
Sheer horizontal shades add a soft, elegant touch to metal doors, softening their industrial appearance. They allow natural light to filter through while providing some privacy. Pirouette® Sheer Shades come in different fabrics and colors, so selecting an option that suits your door is easy.
Tips For Choosing Window Treatment Ideas for Metal Doors
How will you know which window treatment is best for a metal door? Consider visual appeal and functionality.
- Roller and cellular shades offer modern solutions, providing light control and energy efficiency.
- Mini blinds deliver a simple and effective choice if you prefer a minimalist look.
- Sheers add elegance and softness, gently filtering light and privacy.
