Perfect Fit blinds are our favourite choice for bi-fold and patio doors

In our eyes, the best choice of blinds for bi-fold and patio doors are Perfect Fit® blinds. These get their name from the fact that they have their own frame that allows them to fit directly onto the door. 

These can be easily opened and adjusted, giving you full light control and privacy. And the lack of cords makes them a tidier and safer option for pets and children. 

When you order with Norwich Sunblinds, we will visit you at your home or office to take precise measurements. If you choose to go with a pair of perfect fit blinds, we will make you a set of your choice to measure and our fitters will install them seamlessly into your patio door.  

Perfect Fit® blinds are a sleek and convenient option. But you might want something a little different for patio doors, so keep reading to see what else we offer.

Allusion blinds allow for full freedom of movement 

Want a flowing set of blinds that you can easily move through to access your garden? Then allusion blinds will be the best choice for you. 

Allusion blinds give a sophisticated look to any room with bi-fold or patio doors and are perfect for warm summer days with people frequently moving in and out of the house. 

You can easily control light levels by rotating the louvres either manually or automatically with our motorised allusion blinds. They offer the same level of light and privacy control as other types of blinds. 

We provide allusion blinds in various colours to suit any room. If you like the look of these, book a free home appointment here today to get started. 

Vertical blinds are a stylish option for patio and bi-fold doors

Vertical blinds are another stylish option, with fabric slats hanging horizontally that can be adjusted to let in more or less light. To get an uninterrupted view, all you need to do with vertical blinds is to draw them to the side, making them a popular choice for bi-fold doors. 

We would say they’re not quite as convenient as allusion or perfect fit blinds when it comes to going in and out of the house, but we do offer motorised blinds to make them easier to open and close as you please. 

At Norwich Sunblinds, we offer a wide range of fabric designs suitable for vertical blinds, meaning that you can put your personal stamp on your home.  

We can show you a selection during your free home appointment and suggest designs that would work for your interior décor.
