Bifold doors

6 years ago

I am in desperate need of help and inspiration!! We have just extended our house including a rear sunroom which has bifolds on the back and side, it's not a huge room so I don't want to put anything too bulky against the doors but feel it needs something, any ideas would be hugely appreciated, I have included a photo at the bottom which hopefully helps with my dilemma

The furniture is too big for the space, maybe move that sofa somewhere else or sell it to a friend,something smaller is needed

Agree with Brandi i'm afraid, the biggest no no is to block a doorway with a sofa, defeats the purpose of opening out onto the garden as you can't get past the sofa. Plus it's up against the radiator blocking the heat. It will have to go!

My parents had fly screens installed a good few years ago by a local guy who specialised in blinds. I don't think the guy is trading anymore so I guess this is just to say it is definitely possible, don't give up! I am not sure why more homes in the UK don't have them to be honest - we had terrible problems over the summer in London. Also I recommend an electric fly swat for the naughty ones which get past your screens.

Thanks for the comments, I know it is quite big we made a mass fail on purchasing online, we bought before we measured then realised the size but actually even though I do agree with you for the look of it, for practicality it's great, there's 5 of us in the house with 1 of which being a teenager who forever has her friends around so it is a good place for them all to chill in, as until the extension is complete she shares a room with her sister, or us to escape the noise but yes it will being changed for a smaller version! What sort of blinds would work against the doors do you think? Thanks again

Blinds are going to be tricky too, They can't fit under the recess above the doors as there's not enough room to pull them up so that you can open the doors. The only option for blinds is to have romans probably, make sure they're big and deep, mount them above the doors so that you can pull them right up and over to open the doors. You might be better off with nice plush curtains and pull them to the sides, making more of a full feature in the middle where you'll have two together where the doors meet.

Oh ok thank you I'll have a look, the bi-fold of the door open outwards not in so that should be easier to have blinds that go to the top but I'll certainly take your comments on board when I go shopping, thanks again

I agree I think Romans are going to be the best option for blinds here.

Good news about the doors opening outwards! I'm guessing the doors are around 2m standard and a further 7-8mm for the frame / recess. Just remember that if those are the heights and you put them inside the recess, you'll be ducking under them to get out!

Hiya,

I think PerfectFit blinds could be a really great option for you here - they simply clip into the uPVC frames of doors or windows, making for a neat and tidy effect. They won't flap about and they remove the need to mount them to a lintel or wall. And you can choose from Venetians, Pleated or Roller options.

And here's a close up -

Hope that makes sense - let me know if you've got any questions!

Perfect fit blinds are the way forward, they will fit in there a treat. You can get black outs. Completely agree with Zoe.

Thanks for all the comments, those perfect fit blinds look fantastic, do all blind stockist sell those or are they specialist? Again thanks for taking the time to look
