What are the best blinds for sliding patio doors?

The best blinds for sliding patio doors let you cover the glass without getting in the way of the door as it slides. Vertical blinds are the most popular choice, with Perfect Fit and panel blinds as strong alternatives.

Vertical blinds work well because the louvres draw neatly to one side, so you can open just the section in front of the door you are using. You can also angle the louvres to control light and privacy while keeping the doors usable. They handle the width of patio doors easily and are cost-effective.

Perfect Fit blinds clip into uPVC door frames and move with the door, keeping everything flush and tidy with no cords — a good option for rentals and busy households.

Day and night blinds give a more contemporary look with flexible daytime privacy, and panel-track systems suit very wide openings with a clean, modern style.

Avoid heavy curtains on a door you use constantly, as they bunch up and get in the way. We measure your doors and recommend the best fit, with installation included.
