Patio Door Blinds | Sliding Patio Door Blinds

We have hand-picked below, some of the best options for patio door blinds. Because patio doors typically consist of two or more panels that slide one behind another, it is usually not possible to mount a blind system to the sliding frame of the door itself. Instead, the optimum solution is to mount single or multiple blinds within the recess or around the recess.  

Our preferred solutions include manual or electrically operated roller blinds on patio doors, which provide full coverage of the door space when deployed - allowing privacy, glare control or blackout, depending on the fabric chosen. Hand-drawn or automated vertical blinds are also a great solution since they can be used to vary control of light and heat, depending on the angle of the louvres and stack to one side to allow access through the door opening. 

We offer a wide range of options, including wooden patio door blinds, vertical blinds, and sliding patio door blinds. Whether you're looking for the best blackout patio door blinds, or looking specifically for stylish kitchen patio door blinds, we have you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patio Door Blinds

 

What are the best blinds for patio doors?

For patio or sliding doors, vertical blinds are a highly practical option. The slats can be tilted to allow offer privacy, which is necessary if your room is overlooked, as well as softly diffusing light to assist in maintaining a pleasant temperature.


Can you put roller blinds on a sliding door?

Roller blinds are a fantastic option for sliding door covering and would typically be mounted within the recess or around the recess of the door. They roll-up vertically, the opposite direction to the operation of a sliding door. Once rolled up to the top of the door, they offer for simple access and a sleek appearance with unhindered views. Roller blinds can also be used in other windows within the room space, for a uniform and stylish appearance throughout. 


What blinds are in style for sliding glass doors?

Given that they open in the same direction as sliding doors, vertical blinds are a popular choice for sliding doors. They are also durable, long-lasting and simple to operate and clean. Vertical blinds have evolved in recent years from the traditional product that we may associate with offices, into a solution that can be a stylish and decorative shading solution for wide expanses such as sliding doors. You may also wish to take into account cellular shades, roller blinds or panel blinds.


Can you put roller blinds on patio doors?

For your sliding patio doors, you can choose from a wide variety of styles, such as roller blinds, vertical or panel blinds, provided you choose the proper fit, installing them so that they do not clash with the door during operation and keep the opening of the door clear for easy passage in and out. Roller blinds are an ideal solution as they can easily be rolled up to allow access through the patio door, or down to provide privacy, blackout or decorative shading depending on your fabric choice.


Do I need blinds on patio door?

Covering a patio door, which is a large opening, may seem like a tricky or costly investment. Here are some factors you may wish to consider when deciding whether it is necessary to make that investment. Firstly, are excess heat and light a problem? If you think about a patio door, then it is essentially a large expanse of glass. Depending on the orientation of your property, the patio door may be exposed to direct sunlight, which would present problems such as heat built up and glare, which can be resolved with an appropriate blind. Conversely, a large expanse of glass is prone to heat loss during colder months - if this is a concern, then consider a blind type with thermal properties such as a cellular blind, or vertical or roller blind incorporating a fabric with a reflective backing. Privacy is another factor you will wish to take into account if your sliding patio door is overlooked by passers by or neighbours. Also, consider that if your patio door happens to be in a bedroom or a room that acts as a temporary bedroom for visitors, you may wish to install blinds that provide a light exclusion for a good night’s sleep. Finally, you may wish to consider that a patio door without blinds or curtains or some description may look quite stark. Even if you desire a clean aesthetic, an uninterrupted view, or enjoy natural light all day long, you can still achieve this with many blind types, whilst also softening the aesthetic of the large patio opening.


Can you have perfect fit blinds on patio doors?

French and patio doors benefit greatly from Perfect Fit blinds. These blinds have their own frame and are entirely self-contained. However, perfect fit frames protrude out slightly from the face of the door frame, so please consider that operation of any sliding panels must give adequate clearance of the perfect fit frame that is installed on the fixed pane. 


What blinds are best for balcony doors?

In terms of both beauty and functionality, vertical blinds are typically the ideal blinds for balcony doors. They are lightweight, simple to use and also can be configured to part in the middle stacking either side allowing free access to operate and pass through the balcony door.


Are sliding patio doors worth it?

Are vertical blinds good for patio doors?

Vertical blinds are highly functional for wide glass doors such as patio doors due to their flexibility and adaptability. They are especially helpful for patio doors that are frequently opened and closed. There is enough wiggle room between the vertical blind louvres to let small pets in and out in even if the blinds are closed.
