Leaded Glass Front Door

by Nancy
(Cypress, Tx)

Question

We have a stained wood front door with a large section of leaded glass. We also have tall rectangular windows that flank the door on either side. I know what is available for the side windows, but what can we use for the leaded glass portion of the door?

Our front door gets direct afternoon Texas sun. All this sun really heats up our entry. We would like to have a way to cover the leaded glass portion of the door so we can block the sun during the afternoon.

Are there options for creating a uniform look for the door and side windows. Our door gets lots of use, so it needs to be durable.

Answer

You should browse through our French door window treatment page for ideas.

Here you can find ideas and tips for which window coverings you can use for doors and how to prevent the door window treatments from swaying and moving from its place while the door opens and shuts.

When you asked the question the first thing that came to mind is cellular shades. It can definitely be used for both the door and the windows on the sides. It is a light and durable solution. Since it compresses and stacks up to a very small space when opened it will not crowd up your door, just gently fill a need.
