Throw Some Shade – Blinds for Bifold, Patio & French Doors
When you’ve got garden rooms, patio spaces or Juliet balconies, you already know those large panes of glass are both a blessing and a challenge. They offer beautiful views and flood your home with light but they can also bring intense heat in summer and noticeable chill in winter.
That’s where made-to-measure shading makes all the difference. At Ashley Blinds, we specialise in blinds, shutters and shading solutions for bifold doors, French doors, sliding patio doors and Juliet balconies, giving you flexibility, privacy and year-round comfort without compromising your view.
Bifold Door Blinds – Style Meets Practicality
Bifold doors are one of the trickiest to dress because each panel moves independently and folds back to open up your space. That’s why INTU® Pleated Blinds (especially our Hive Duo Pleat with foil lining) are the go-to choice.
- Thermally efficient The honeycomb structure traps air to reduce heat loss and glare.
- Neat and practical Each blind fits snugly inside the door frame, so doors fold and slide freely.
- No drilling required Perfect for modern aluminium or uPVC bifolds.
With INTU® blinds, you can enjoy that seamless connection between indoors and out — without sacrificing temperature control.
French Door Blinds – Smart Functionality for Inward or Outward Openers
French doors come in all sorts of configurations, so the right solution depends on how they open.
- For inward-opening doors, Perfect Fit Blinds (Pleated or Venetian) are ideal. They sit neatly inside the frame so doors open freely without clattering or catching.
- For outward-opening doors, they’re just as effective — no swinging fabrics or blinds blowing out into the garden, which prevents wear and tear and keeps everything tidy.
Sliding Patio Door Blinds – Effortless and Elegant
Because sliding doors overlap, space is limited for traditional fittings. That’s why motorised roller blinds or vertical blinds tend to work best.
- Motorised rollers give a sleek, contemporary look and are easy to operate at the touch of a button — perfect for wide expanses of glass.
- Vertical blinds offer a softer aesthetic, with excellent light and privacy control.
Either way, you’ll gain maximum shading with minimum obstruction.
Juliet Balcony Blinds – Compact and Considered
Juliet balconies often have a tight recess and open inwards, which limits options. Perfect Fit Blinds are again the winning choice: mounted neatly within the frame, they move with the window or door for a clean, secure fit.
Apex or Shaped Windows Above Doors
If your doors sit beneath apex or triangular windows, we recommend custom-made shaped wooden shutters. These are the most durable and elegant way to manage tricky glazing while adding architectural style. Each shutter is handcrafted to fit your unique angles perfectly.
