Ready to make your bifolds beautiful? Let us show you how our blinds and curtains can help.

Simple steps for beautiful bifolds

We love bifold doors. They give gloriously open access to the outdoors and an expansive feeling inside, but the width of the doors and their concertina style means they can be tricky to dress as there can be limited space to fit a product. You’ll want something that keeps out the way of your doors and doesn’t impact their movement. So you’ll need a product that fits within the door frames, goes over to one side or that rises up out of the way. In this video, we talk you through our blinds and curtains that can help your bifolds look beautiful.

Best for small spaces

Bifold doors really look their best with an individual blind on each door. And with so many panes to cover, your blinds will become a key design feature, so you should carefully consider the colour and design of your chosen blind. Pleated blinds are a great choice for bifold doors.

The delicate fabrics and textures work well with both contemporary and traditional styling, and they’re available in lots of fabulous shades and patterns for a bold or neutral scheme.

Best for temperature control

Did you know, 18% of a typical home’s heat is lost through its windows and doors?

We've got a brilliant solution for reducing heat loss through your bifold doors. Our INTU Micro Hive blinds have a honeycomb structure that traps the air, to help insulate your home in winter and cool it down in summer.

To keep things extra snug, pair INTU blinds with curtains. The extra layer at your doors will help stop any pesky draughts, and you'll get a really stylish look too.

Blinds for a Perfect fit

By fitting a single blind to each of your bifold doors, you have the flexibility to adjust individual blinds to reduce glare, depending on the direction and height of the sun throughout the day.

A Perfect Fit frame lets you do just that, sitting between the glazing and beading of uPVC windows becoming an integrated part of your doors, so there is no need to adjust them when you open and close your bifold doors.

Our Roller, Pleated and metal Venetian blinds can all be fitted in a PerfectFit frame.
