How to Keep Door Shades in Place

We’ve all been there—that moment when we innocently open a patio door and are shocked through space and time as the shades or blinds attached to them fly about. Is the solution to gingerly open your doors for the rest of time? Tape them to the door frame? Shout a battle cry and open them with full-force?

How to Keep Door Shades in Place, Hunter Douglas TrackGlide™ feature near Johnson City, Tennessee (TN)

While you could do any or all of these, we have a simpler solution for learning how to keep door shades in place: the TrackGlide™ feature from Hunter Douglas. Available with various Hunter Douglas window treatments, this feature keeps your door’s window treatments firmly in place.

TrackGlide™ by Hunter Douglas

A discreet track that attaches along the edges of your door (or window) with aluminum tracks and detachable side-rail clips, the TrackGlide™ feature adheres as close to the glass as possible without actually being on the glass. This means that you don’t have to mess around with drilling into your door or window frame.

Once attached, your shades will glide up and down with ease. Whether your door or window is closed, tilted, or turned, these shades will stay firmly in place. No more dealing with shades flying about and startling you whenever you want to go outside.

Compatibility

So, you’ve decided you love the idea of not letting your door shades terrorize you anymore. Good for you! Learning how to keep door shades in place is the first step to take to enjoy your door’s shades. The next question you might wonder is what Hunter Douglas window treatments are compatible with this feature. Known for their beauty, honeycomb design, and ability to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter while reducing energy bills, Duette® Honeycomb Shades are compatible with this innovative feature.

In addition to this feature, Duette® Honeycomb Shades trap air at your windows. This provides an insulating layer of air, reducing the energy loss at your windows— particularly potent since windows are the main culprit for home energy loss. This shade can make a world a difference in rooms that always seem too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. And since these shades provide natural insulation, they can help reduce your need to go to the thermostat or air conditioning and, in turn, help reduce your energy bills with time.
