CHOOSING THE RIGHT BLINDS FOR PATIO DOORS

April 5, 2022
We all love our patios, but do you struggle with what style of interior blind to use to compliment your patio door? Whether you have a sliding door or bi-fold doors we can help you choose the best blind to combine your home interior with the exterior.

Patio doors seamlessly blend our home interior with the exterior making the space feel larger. The glass panels in your patio door are great for letting the natural sunlight through providing a beautiful vista but what about when you need to regulate the level of light, heat, and privacy through your doorway. This is when a door treatment is required.

In doing this you need to be able to choose the right blinds for your patio door. A blind that blends with your home design, control lighting effectively and one that won’t interfere with door functionality.

Below are some of the best options when choosing a indoor blind for your patio doors:

1. Panel Glide Blinds

The panel glide blind is a more modern version of a vertical blind but with wider panels and a simple wand control operation. The vertical fabric panels overlap each other to eliminate light gaps and can be stacked either to the right, left or to the center, whichever is more convenient for your sliding or bi-fold door opening. Panel glide blinds are available in a range of fabrics including blockout, translucent or light filtering making it easy to customise to suit your home.

2. Veri Shade Blinds

Looking for a softer look, than the Veri Shade Blind has the style of a curtain with the versatility of a blind. The Veri shade blind is made from a soft fabric with alternating opaque folds, they have no weights or chains giving you the ability to walk through them whether they are open or closed. Operated by a wand mechanism you can easily turn the wand one way and have the opaque fabric provide privacy and light blocking, turn the wand the other way the mesh fabric provides a light filter or for full sunlight draw them back like a curtain. Spanning up to six metres makes them a perfect solution for your patio sliding or bi-fold doorway.

3. Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are simple and practical option. Depending on the width of your door opening they can be customised as one large roller blind or separated into sections of the doorway. Roller blinds are available in a wide range of patterns, materials and colours. Standard roller blinds are controlled by a chain operation, however if child safety is paramount, then another possibility is a chainless roller blind or even motorised.
