The ultimate guide to bi-fold door blinds

Bi-fold door blinds are an essential addition to your home if you want to enhance privacy, control sunlight, and add a touch of elegance to your living space.

For this difficult-to-cover door type, versatile window treatments are required as not only do they offer functional benefits but they can also be installed in a variety of materials, colours, and finishes to ensure that they blend seamlessly with your home decor.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various styles and materials related to the installation of bi-fold door blinds and how a professional service can ensure the highest quality.

Style options for bi-fold door blinds

When it comes to choosing blinds for your bi-fold doors, there are a plethora of styles to consider. Each style offers a unique advantage, and your choice should align with your preferences and fit the overall requirements of the room.

1. Vertical blinds:

Vertical blinds make for a clean, aesthetic space and an easy option for bi-fold doors. These blinds consist of slats that hang vertically and can be adjusted using a chain or a turn-key for child-safe households, to control light intensity and privacy.

These blinds are an excellent choice for larger doors and windows as they can be adjusted to several different sizes and come in various materials such as fabric, vinyl, or wood.

2. Roller blinds:

Roller blinds are a sleek and minimalist option for bi-fold doors. They are created with a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down, using a chain or alternative child-safe device such as a gearbox. This simplistic style offers customers a clean and unobtrusive look when not in use and effective light control when they are.

Roller blinds can be custom-made to fit the required door length and are created in a wide range of colours and patterns to match your decor.

3. Pleated blinds:

Pleated bi-fold door blinds can add a modern and layered cosiness to any room. These blinds are created using tight folds of fabric material that create an air pocket, which can add to your home’s warmth and overall style. These types of blinds are especially effective in conservatories as they can add another layer of insulation.

These blinds come in only a few fabric types due to the intricate structure, but they can come in a variety of colours and customisable sizes to suit your space.

4. Venetian blinds:

Horizontal bi-fold door blinds, also known as Venetian blinds, feature horizontal slats that can be tilted to control light and offer varying degrees of privacy. These sleek blinds can be adjusted to fit within the bi-folding door frame for a close fit.

Traditionally these blinds come in aluminium. However, they are available in other materials such as wood, PVC, and faux wood which are perfect for humid kitchens.

5. Perfect fit blinds

Perfectfit blinds are a revolutionary option for bi-fold doors. These blinds are designed to fit seamlessly into uPVC windows and doors without the need for drilling or screws, which makes them perfect for bi-folding door frames as the installation can happen within the frame, allowing it to sit seamlessly on top of the glass.
