If you’re after inspiration for updating your BiFold, patio or french doors, we have you covered. It can be tricky to find the right blinds that fit your type of door, so it’s important you look for a design that allows you to create a beautiful statement while offering the practical benefits of light control, privacy and a perfect fit at your window. Explore our recommendations below.
What are the Best Blinds For French Doors?
French doors are window-like doors with glass panes extending for most of the length, allowing an unobstructed view of your garden or patio, and open using the two handles in the centre.
What are the Best Blinds For Bifold Doors?
Bifold doors have a unique, concertina style opening that allows you to fold the glass panes against each other to connect the inside of your home to the outside world. You’ll want a blind that’s:
- Slimline to prevent the fabric from catching against the side of your doors when opening and closing them
- Cordless to prevent the material or loose wires getting in the way
ClickFIT Pleated Blinds
ClickFIT Duo Pleated Blinds are made from a thermal fabric that helps you keep cool in summer and warm in winter. With cordless operation, a sleek design and your choice of a blackout or light filtering fabric, they combine functionality and style effortlessly.
ClickFIT Pleated Blinds for BiFold Doors and French Doors are also toolless, allowing you to install your blinds hassle-free and in a moment’s notice.

What are the Best Blinds for Patio Doors?
Patio doors, also known as sliding doors, feature glass panes that open and close by pushing one part across a track along the wall so one sits directly in front of the other. As this leaves minimal space between each glass pane, we recommend a blind that sits in front of your sliding door instead of a style that clips directly to your window. Here are some of our sliding door blinds ideas:
Vertical Blinds
If you have a recess, try Vertical Blinds for patio doors. Whilst they’re not drill-free like our other recommendations for door blinds, they have large fabric louvres that help you deflect bright sunlight – even in large patio windows. Plus, as they glide to a neat stack at the side of your, they’re a great choice for ensuring your doors remain completely unobstructed!
Vertical Blinds also come with your choice of shading. From Privacy Sheers that allow gentle hues of light to enter your space and Blackout Vertical Blinds that helps you stop light in its tracks to Thermal Vertical Blinds, it’s no wonder why they’re a popular option for patio doors.

Enjoy Day & Night Zebra Roller Blinds
Enjoy Day & Night Zebra Roller Blinds feature alternating horizontal strips of voile and opaque fabric that allow sunlight in and out of your space depending on their alignment. Providing a unique twist on a traditional Roller Blind, they can also be raised completely for an unobstructed view of the outside and lowered to protect your privacy.
Panel Blinds
If you love the look of Vertical Blinds for sliding doors, Panel Blinds offer even more contemporary sophistication to your space. Featuring wider strips of fabric than traditional Vertical Blinds, they simply slide across a track to provide easy access to your garden. With both light filtering and blackout styles in a variety of plains and textures, they’re perfect for the modern home.

Patio Door Curtains
Did you know that Curtains work wonders in patio doors too? Curtains add personality, charm and even boost your privacy when paired alongside the right type of blind. While we wouldn’t recommend one for a kitchen patio door, a Curtain in your living room or dining room patio door offers an ever so luxurious touch.
