The Best Blinds for Your Doors

When it comes to enhancing the style and practicality of your home, doors are often overlooked despite them being a crucial part of your living space. Studies estimate that around 25-30% of heat is lost through windows and doors, so leaving doors in your home without blinds could be costing you money.

Having large glass doors in your home adds to the overall ambience, from giving you a great view of the outside to letting natural light into your home, doors can have several benefits. However, during the summer and winter months, the temperature of your home can become too hot or cold and light shining through doors can sometimes be a bother. That’s why at Direct Order Blinds we are here to help you choose the perfect blind for your doors. From sliding doors to French doors, we have put together a guide helping you to choose the right blind for your home.

French Doors

French doors or patio doors are a type of door that consists of two doors that open in the middle. They are a classic design and are great for letting natural light into your home. There are a range of great options for French doors to help with light control as well as privacy.

Intu Venetian Blinds- Intu Venetians are an ideal choice for French doors. They offer a sleek, no drill installation, meaning they cause no hassle or mess in your home. They sit against the glass meaning they won’t interfere with the handles on your doors and the adjustable slats are excellent for filtering light into your rooms.

Perfect Fit Shutters- Another great option for French doors. Perfect Fit Shutters provide excellent lighting and privacy control with adjustable slats so you can customise how much light you let in. They are fully customisable so you can even install a split tilt for increased control.

Perfect Fit Honeycomb- Perfect Fit honeycomb blinds are a great choice for French doors. The honeycomb structure provides excellent insulating properties, trapping heat in between the layers, ensuring your home is kept warm in the winter and cold in the summer.

Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are another popular choice for homes. They are a type of door that fold back onto each other allowing for uninterrupted openings to the outside. Bifold doors offer excellent natural light, easy access to the outdoors and they take up minimal space due to their design. There are a number of great solutions for bifold doors.

Intu Micro Blinds- Intu Micro blinds are tailor made for bifold doors and compact spaces where traditional blinds may struggle to fit. Their compact design means that they sit neatly within the door frame, maintaining a clean sophisticated look.

Allusion Blinds- Allusion blinds are ideal for bifold doors due to their luxurious, elegant design that combines practicality with style. These blinds provide excellent light control by allowing you to tilt the vanes to your desired position, from completely closed to gently filtering light into your room.

Motorised Roller Blinds (multiple in one cassette)- Motorised rollers offer an easy, practical solution for bifold doors. Take the hassle out of operating your window covering by choosing these blinds. With motorisation you can easily control privacy and light levels with the touch of a button.

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors feature large glass panels that slide along a track, helping to save space and allow easy access to outdoor areas or other rooms. At Direct Order Blinds, we have a number of great choices for sliding doors.

Vertical Blinds- Vertical blinds are an excellent choice for sliding doors because they are simple to operate and are ideal for large windows or openings. The panels slide easily along a track and can be tilted to be fully closed or gentle filter light into a room.
