Sliding doors literally open our rooms up to nature… Sometimes too much of a good thing! Our expertly made blinds for sliding glass doors can be the solution…
Whether you have Crittal, barn, or modern glass sliding doors, when the sun gets hot or privacy is needed, blinds are a good idea. We’ve got the right solution.
We offer precision solutions for sliding patio doors. Our expert team has been developing bespoke blinds for sliding glass doors for many years. This is what we know…
Sliding door configurations limit shading options. For standard setups with one moving panel sliding across a fixed panel, there are two main ways to create shade:
Need something different? We can help. Our expert team will double check to see what is possible, depending on the exact size and arrangement of the doors.
Our concealed fixings and contoured rail components, all exclusive to Specialist Blinds, mean less focus on the blinds and more on your interior or garden.

In most cases we will fit a blind to the moving door directly. To avoid any issues with the movement of the door, a second blind will be fitted over the non moving door that is fitted several centimetres away from it, so there is enough room for the moving door to go behind it. This free-hanging blind can also be wider, so it covers both doors.
Because our Pure™ blinds for sliding glass doors are designed to be strong and slender it is easier for us to fit blinds directly next to the glass. In some cases, this can even mean fitting a blind directly into the non-moving door while allowing the other door to slide in front of it (although it will depend on the exact dimensions of your doors.)
Alternatively, we offer roller blinds for patio doors that can cover a wider space. Depending on the width and how many doors you have, we can often cover the space with just one or two blinds. Roller blinds for sliding patio doors can also be manufactured with multiple fabric panels on the same roller mechanism – the neatest way of covering wider space.

Yes. As all of our blinds are made-to-measure in our own UK factory, we can create the perfect window blinds for sliders. Some of our fabrics are extremely narrow so they can easily be recess fitted next to the glass, ensuring that the sliders are still operable with the blinds in place.
Alternatively, we can fit larger blinds above your doors – it’s often down to personal taste, and we can guide you through the process of choosing the best window blinds for your sliders. Contact us now for free advice and a quotation.
No, Perfect Fit blinds are unlikely to work with sliding patio doors as that range comes with a bulky frame that will prevent the doors from sliding past each other. A better solution would be our Pure™ blinds, with a slim profile fitted top and bottom – they’ll certainly give you a perfect fit! Choose from our wide range of pleated or honeycomb fabrics, and rails that can be colour matched to suit your door frame.
The best blinds for sliding glass doors are likely to be blinds that help with privacy, insulation and light control. Roller or honeycomb blinds are a perfect solution if you want the blinds to move from top to bottom. Alternatively, for side-to-side control, nordic drapes or vertical blinds are a popular choice.
Take at look at our easy guides for more expert advice on what blinds are best for sliding doors.
Yes, they do. If you need to retain heat in winter, then thermal patio door blinds are the perfect solution. There are a choice of fabrics, textures and colours, with the most popular being cellular fabrics. The extra layer of fabric creates a pocket of air, which is a perfect insulator for your glazing.
If you need matching blinds for other areas in your home, such as a gable or lantern, then we can use the same fabric to complement your thermal blinds for patio doors.
Yes, absolutely. Many freehanging blinds, such as roller blinds and honeycomb blinds can be motorised. If you don’t have mains power nearby they can be battery operated, with an optional solar recharging kit.
Electric blinds for sliding doors are a great choice for extra convenience, without compromising on style.
