How to Choose Curtains for Sliding Glass Doors in Bali Villas

Sliding glass doors connect rooms to terraces and gardens. Curtains should frame the opening without obstructing daily movement. First identify which panels slide, where handles sit and how often people pass through.

Plan the stack-back

Open curtains occupy space at the sides. Confirm that the track extends far enough for fabric to clear the active doorway and avoid covering too much glass. Wide openings may need a centre split or a planned one-way draw.

Choose the layer

Sheers soften daylight but do not provide full night privacy. Dimout or blackout curtains provide stronger light control; a layered sheer and heavier curtain gives flexibility. Review samples in the actual room and consider sun exposure, cleaning and humidity.

Confirm measurements

Measure from the intended track position, not just the window frame. Check finished drop, floor level, door handles and threshold clearance. For more preparation, use our curtain measuring guide.

Before ordering

• Record opening and track width.
• Confirm panel count and draw direction.
• Check stack-back clearance.
• Choose the required privacy and light-control level.
