What Blinds are best for your Patio Doors?

-

When you do it right, your patio doors can really look beautiful and create a lovely, open and spacious atmosphere in your house. So what blinds are best for your patio doors?

Here are 3 of the best blinds for your patio doors.


1. Vertical Blinds. Not only are they easy to install and use, but vertical blinds are one of the best options for big windows and patio doors. These blinds make it easy to adjust the amount of light that enters the room as well as the temperature and privacy. Vertical blinds are also a great option for your kitchen as they are quick and easy to wipe clean and waterproof.

2. Honeycomb Blinds. Also known as duette blinds, these blinds can cover your entire patio doors or you can use multiple blinds and have one covering your door and another covering the window. Honeycomb blinds not only look great, but they are practical and reliable, especially for blinds of this size.

3. Roller Blinds. These blinds are a lovely option for your patio doors because they come in a wide range of fabrics and colours. You also have the option of installing one blind to cover your patio door and others to cover your windows. Roller blinds are easy to use and a good choice if you are looking for blinds that can be operated using a remote control.

Quick Tip: Avoid wooden Venetian blinds for your patio doors! These blinds are very heavy and can be difficult to use. The stack height is also a problem as you may have to duck under the blinds every time you walk through the door.

Clean mini blinds without taking them down to avoid leaving windows uncovered. Blinds collect dust, insect debris and stains from spills and splatters. Window coverings and pull strings can also get discoloured over time. Even routine house cleaning like dusting and window washing can soil the blinds. If they’re taken down to be washed in a tub or sprayed outdoors, they have to dry before going back over the window. Step 1. Open the blinds and let them down all the way. Pull the bottom out from the windowsill and let it fall to expose all the slats. Step 2. Vacuum the loose dust of the slats. Use a brush attachment on the end of the hose and vacuum as much dirt off the tops and bottoms of the slats as possible. Step 3. Pour an ounce of antibacterial soap into a bucket with half a gallon of warm water. Slid the cloth around the slat and slide it from side to side. Do this with each and every one. Do not forget to clean the pull strings as well. The bleach and wat

The difference between these two types of blinds is the material they are made from. Wooden blinds are made out of real wood and come in a range of different stains as well as stains.
