Fraser James Blinds compares the best blinds for french doors

French doors can be the crowning feature of your home, offering a large, bright space and completing the look of your room. But these doors are also very big and sometimes a hard shape to find blinds for that will fit well and block out all the light when they need to. 

At Fraser James, we have many years of experience, so we’ve put together a handy guide for which blinds will work well on your French doors whether they are older aluminium french doors or the more modern upvc french doors. 

Roller Blinds 

Roller blinds are a great choice for rooms that your family spends a lot of time in. They come in a range of stylish designs and colours and are also a very practical choice. They also have ranges made from performance fabrics that have great features like being moisture resistant and blackout options, perfect for creating a space built to cope with family life! 

They also roll away neatly, giving you back all the light French doors can provide to a room and it also means they won’t be getting in the way when you have the doors open on those lovely Summer days and evenings! 

Vertical Blinds 

 If you are looking for versatility, look no further than vertical blinds. These are a great choice if your French doors are overlooked by neighbors or other buildings. Vertical blinds offer a privacy solution that will mean no one can see into your living space whilst still allowing all that natural light to flood your room. 

These blinds also come in a range of widths too and that makes them perfect for large spaces such as French doors. 

Roman Blinds 

Depending on the style of your French doors, fitting blinds can be a challenge. Especially on older properties where the doors are older and modern blinds may struggle to fit. This is why our team will recommend Roman blinds as an effective solution to this situation. This will allow you to keep the period features of your French doors whilst enjoying all the benefits modern blinds can bring. 

Roman blinds also offer a great layer of extra insulation in older properties too. Protecting your living space from those cold breezes and offering a little extra energy efficiency. 

INTU Blinds 

A growing number of clients are choosing INTU blinds to fit on their patio doors or French doors. These blinds are a great solution because they don’t require any drilling or screws. The blinds fit as part of the doors meaning they will open and close without the blinds getting in the way. 

INTU blinds are the perfect choice of blinds for French doors for all the reasons above and more. 

We hope this guide to the perfect blinds for your French doors helped. If the Fraser James team can help or you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team today. We’re always happy to help.
