What are the best blinds for French doors?

French doors need blinds that sit close to the glass so the doors can still open, close, and lock without the blind swinging or catching. Perfect Fit blinds are the ideal solution, with slimline rollers and Venetians as alternatives.

Perfect Fit blinds clip into the beading of each uPVC door, so the blind sits flush against the glass and moves with the door. Nothing hangs loose, the handles stay clear, and there are no cords — neat, practical, and child-safe.

If your doors are timber or aluminium rather than uPVC, slimline roller or Venetian blinds fitted to each door leaf work well, as long as they are mounted close to the glass and held at the bottom so they do not swing.

The key is to treat each door as its own window, with a separate blind on each, rather than one large blind across both. That keeps the doors fully usable.

We measure French doors carefully, recommend the right no-swing option, and include fitting in the price.
