The 5 best blinds for bi-fold doors

Since bi-folding doors are so unique in their construction and design, not just any blinds will do. You need to select blinds carefully to ensure they look and perform their best.

The best bi-fold door blinds allow you to fold back the doors entirely without hindrance. Keep reading to find out what are the best blinds for bi-folding doors. 

Perfect Fit blinds 

Even though many people associate Perfect Fit blinds with PVCu windows and doors, they are ideal for bi-fold doors due to their unique design. They clip directly onto the window, which means they won’t cause any obstruction when the doors open and close. Perfect Fit blinds are easy to install too since they don’t require drilling or screwing. They come in many different styles to suit your needs, allowing you to ensure they match the existing décor of the room. 

Roller blinds

In many ways, roller blinds are the ideal window covering for bi-fold doors. Not only do they look great but they are very practical. Moisture resistant and wipeable, they’re perfect for kitchens and dining areas where food and drink spillages are possible. Very durable, they suit even the most high-traffic areas of the home. The design possibilities of roller blinds are almost endless too, ranging from vibrant colours and fun prints to neutral shades. Roller blinds are amongst the most affordable blinds, making them ideal for those on a modest budget. 

Venetian blinds 

Modern and easily adjustable, Venetian blinds are a good choice for bi-fold doors. They add a lovely lustre, enhancing any room in which they’re installed. Venetian blinds are available in a range of finishes and textures, including metallic. Aluminium Venetians are a popular option for bi-fold doors due to their contemporary look and hardwearing nature. Whilst some people view Venetian blinds as bulky and cumbersome, they can actually integrate into the bifold doors, removing this issue. They’re unlikely to obstruct the doors in any way.  

Roman blinds

Roman blinds are a good alternative to curtains for bi-fold doors. They are thicker than many other blinds, giving them a luxurious look and providing a higher level of privacy. At the same time, they are still very practical and allow for the independent opening and closing of the bi-fold doors when they’re drawn. However, keep in mind that Roman blinds usually require a little extra room at the top of the door frame when they’re folded up. Our experienced blind fitters can ensure that they’re installed to a high standard. 

Duette blinds 

More and more people are opting for Duette blinds for bi-fold doors. Similar to Perfect Fit blinds, they fit precisely into the individual window frames, creating a very neat look. However, unlike Perfect Fit, Duette blind’s don’t need their own frame. The headrail clips into the beading of the frame. There’s are no excess materials or cords to get in the way of the operation of the bi-fold doors. Duette blinds are ideal if you want to better insulate your home. These blinds create an extra layer of insulation, preventing cold draughts from coming in and reducing the amount of heat that escapes.
