Blinds for Bifolding Doors

One of the questions we are frequently asked is what the best blinds for bi fold doors are.

The good news is there are many options for this popular door style. Some of the most popular are listed below.

Pleated Blind

Tensioned Pleated blinds can fit neatly onto bifold doors, so are often referred to as bifold blinds. This type of blind has discreet cords on the left- and right-hand side of the blinds which run down to small feet at the bottom allowing the blind to be raised and lowered using a small handle.

All our Pleated Blinds are available as Tensioned, giving a massive choice of colours and textures.

Roller Blind

Roller Blinds are a hugely popular option as Bi fold Door blinds. Most commonly motorised, allowing for simple ‘one touch’ operation, Roller blinds smoothly retract back into neat cassette pelmets completely opening up the view.

Vertical Blind

Vertical Blinds are a great Blind for Bifolds. Once the go to Blind for offices, Verticals have had an over-hall in recent years with attractive colours, textures and finishes, making them a decorative option. Vertical Blinds are a cost-effective way of covering a large space. They can be drawn back in the same direction as the doors to stack on the same side.

Tracked Shutters

Shutters mounted on a track can be an attractive solution to cover Bifold Doors. These fold back inward where the doors typically fold outward. The tiltable louvres on Plantation shutters help to filter light, or alternatively using solid shutters can help to darken a room.

Micro Intu Pleated Blind

These are a no-drill solution specifically designed as a bifold blind. Available in a number of colours these small, pleated blinds use brackets which slide behind the rubbers on the doors, eliminating the need for screws. The blinds can be raised and lowered using a handle.

Motorised Blinds for Bi fold Doors

Using electric blinds on Bi-folding doors has become far more popular recently. With the use of Li-ion battery operated motors, it has never been easier to fit Motorised Blinds as they eliminate the need for messy cords or expensive electrics. Operate your blinds with the touch of a button, or, with the use of a home hub, just your voice – what could be easier!

The most popular Blinds that can be motorised for use as bifold door blinds are Roller Blinds, Pleated Blinds, Duo Roller Blinds and Aluminium Venetian Blinds
