Patio Doors
Patio doors can be difficult to match window coverings for. The classic choice for all patio doors is vertical blinds because they can mimic the opening of the patio door. Here are some selection tips for choosing vertical blinds to cover your patio door.
Decide on How You Want Your Blinds to Open
We offer open to the left, open to the right, and open from the center. You want to make sure your blinds give you good access to your door and can be moved to see your view.
If you have a sliding glass door, vertical blinds that open to the right or left (whichever way mimics your door), are often the best option. These allow easy access to the door.
If you have French doors, a great option is to select vertical blinds that open from the center to each side. You can also review our guide to selecting window coverings for French doors.
Measure Correctly
