When choosing blinds for a French door or window, you have two options. You can either buy blinds for the recess that need to be retracted when you open the door

Or you might want to install a blind system on each of the two doors that fold out. This means you don't need to worry about opening the blinds when you wish to open and walk through the doors. The blinds are installed against the glass of each door panel.

If you need to cover the entire recess, then consider our electric and manual roller, vertical and panel blinds.

Frequently Asked Questions about French Door Blinds and French Window Blinds

What type of blinds are best for French doors?

Vertical blinds are great for French doors in any room, as they come in a variety of modern patterns and performance materials, such as blackout, moisture-resistant, and PVC. They can be configured to part in the middle so that the louvres stack to either side of the French door.  

Can I install French door blinds myself, or do I need to hire a professional?

Installing French door blinds can definitely be done as a DIY project. In fact, certain blind types, like Perfect Fit and INTU blinds lend themselves perfectly to self-installation as they require no-drilling and screwing. 

How do I choose the right color and style of French door blinds to match my home decor?

Can French door blinds be used in conjunction with curtains or other window treatments?

Yes, French door blinds can be used in conjunction with curtains or other window treatments for added style and functionality. We often see our Perfect Fit or INTU blinds installed directly to the beading of French doors and their adjacent windows, with curtains or Roman blinds fitted outside of the recess. We find this provides a pleasingly soft aesthetic and allows a great deal of flexibility in terms of light, heat and glare control, light exclusion and privacy. It also means that you can combine a feature pattern design on one product (for example the curtain) with a more neutral colour for the blind.

French door blinds provide privacy, light control, and can enhance the aesthetics of the door. They can also help to improve energy efficiency by blocking out excess heat and cold.

Can you attach blinds to French doors?

French doors benefit greatly from shallow blinds that can be installed directly to the door itself, up against the glass. INTU or Perfect Fit Roller, venetian and honeycomb shades fall into this category since they snap-fit into the beading around the glass, almost becoming an integral part of the door itself, hidden from view when raised. Using them is a breeze, and they don't interfere with your door handles in any way. You do not have to raise the blind in order to open or close the door.

Can you have Venetian blinds on French doors?

Venetian blinds in a Perfect Fit or Intu frame are superior to other types of Venetian blinds because they can be installed directly into the door, up against the glass, making it possible to open and close the door as usual without first having to raise the blind. They are a particularly popular solution for French doors because, unlike traditional Venetian blinds, they do not need to be installed by drilling or screwing and simply clip fit into the door beading itself.

Are Perfect Fit blinds suitable for French doors?

Measured to perfection and featuring a frame in a colour to match the hardware of your French windows and doors, Perfect Fit blinds can be fitted and installed in minutes with no drilling required. Designed to fit UPVC frames, they look great in any room of the house, from the kitchen to the bedroom. A Perfect Fit frame may accommodate a wide variety of blinds, including roller, pleated, and metal Venetian styles making them a very flexible solution for French doors

Can French doors have built-in blinds?

It is uncommon for French doors to come as standard with built-in blinds. However, solutions like INTU and Perfect Fit blinds are literally clipped into the beading, up against the glass. The frame or hardware of the blind can be colour matched to that of the French door, making them almost seem like an integrated blind system. So you no longer have to settle with blinds that clatter about or that have to be raised or parted to open the door.

What is the difference between a French door and a French window?

French windows and doors are essentially the same things. The key distinction is in the context of their application. They both function similarly, but one is a window and the other is a door. In contrast to French doors, which often extend to the ceiling, French windows typically stop well short of the ground.
 

Can you have wooden blinds on French doors?

Yes, wooden blinds can be a great choice for French doors as they provide a classic, timeless look and can be customized to fit the dimensions of the doors. They also provide flexible control of natural light, glare and enhance privacy due to the fact that their slats can be tilted.  If you wish to install wooden blinds on your French door, we’d recommend selecting those with narrow slats, for example 25mm slats. For convenience, wooden blinds that can be installed directly to the opening panels of the door are best. Screw-fix wooden blinds can be supplied with hold-down brackets for the bottom bar that prevent blinds from swinging during operation of the door. Better still, perfect fit wooden blinds can be clip-fitted directly to the beading of your French door without the need for drilling and drilling. Perfect Fit Wooden blinds come mounted within a stylish frame, which can often be colour coded to the door frame. So, they look like an integral part of your French door. What’s more the frame prevents the blinds from swinging and rattling or clattering during operation.

Are vertical blinds a good idea for French doors?

Yes, vertical blinds can be a good choice for French doors as they provide excellent light control and can be adjusted to allow for privacy. The can also be configured to part in the middle with louvres stacking to each side, which provides excellent and convenient access to the doors themselves.

What types of blinds are best for French doors?

Our personal favourite type of blind for bi-fold doors are no-drill blinds such as Perfect Fit or INTU blinds. Because they simply clip-fit within the beading of the French door directly against the glass, this means they travel with the door when it is being operated. Other types of blinds need to be fitted inside of the recess or around the recess, in front of the door and allow less convenient access to open and close the door whilst the blinds are closed. INTU and Perfect Fit Blinds are available as different blind types - including roller, Venetian, wooden, cellular and pleated in a vast array of colours, fabric types and patterns. They are an excellent choice for French Doors and are so easy to measure and install because they require no drilling or screwing!
