Bifold dressing help

2 years ago
Hi all. Thank you for all the suggestions you've given so far for our kitchen renovation. It is complete now. I need some help with ideas for bifold door dressing. Especially for the night time. We are thinking of voile curtains may be in a light floral/blue colour to go with our navy kitchen, yellow and teal bar stools. We might have to run a track so the whole curtain comes to one side. Because we have a tall unit on the other side. Any thoughts/ideas much appreciated

Dressing Bi-fold doors
Comments (4)Hi we were having the same issue and it took me a while to decide. Ours are also 4m wide. We decided on integrated blinds, although expensive we have kids and it's where our kitchen is so figured it would be less damage and cleaning. Also to cover 4m in other coverings can be expensive too. I am very happy with ours! Ps my neighbour has vertical blinds and they look ok but a little officey/Scandinavia for me. Hope this helps....See MoreNeed help on how to dress bi fold doors
Comments (12)Hi Dianne, We have found that a lot of our customers are opting for our Premium Roller Blinds for bi-fold doors. Paired with a dimout fabric, they offer privacy and are positioned so they do not obstruct your view or function of the doors when not in use. With the included matching pelmet, they can create a really sleek look in the home. Our blinds are also swappable, meaning that both the fabric of the blind and the pelmet can be swapped in seconds if you decide to change your colour scheme at any stage.

Comments (18)As a professional in the industry and also have a 360cm bifold door at home i know the issue all too well. It all comes down to the budget you want to spend. I would have to recommend use a curtain track so you can get good support all the way across the track and know that it is sturdy to hold a heavyish pair of curtains. You will have to go with a metal curtain track of some description as the plastic ones are just not substantial enough and will not work as smoothly as the aluminium ones. You will certainly be able to have a single curtain pull to one side with a good quality track. Now the main element of this is the heading style for these curtains. The modern wave headings give you a beautiful pleat that will always look beautiful. Any of our metal tracks would be substantial enough and some of them can be upgraded to 60mm or 80mm wave heading. https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/curtain-tracks/metal Price for a 350cm would be around £40 upwards for medium domestic. going upto a heavy duty around £150 even more for silent gliss products. Fitting and installation with a qualified CSCS fitter would be around £120 maybe more depending on location. However to note you will have curtains right infront of a beautiful bifold door that will obstruct light coming in through the windows. I would suggest shaping the track outside the reveal but the book cases are in the way. Perfect Fit Blinds An alternative if you want the light to continue to come in is perfect fit blinds these work as frames that go out side the rubber seals of the window and allow a secondary frame to be mounted without any drilling into the window. This means you can fit them quickly and easily. A pleated blind would look incredible. A further option would be electric curtain tracks that fold to the left or right. These would be around £1000 Best option for cost Other options a light unlined hotel weight dimout pair of curtains these would be 95% blackout and you wouldnt see through them, with an eyelet heading top fixed inside the reveal with recess brackets. would work well. Really simple you would have 32 eyelets on a 4 width pair. not quite 100% fullness but would still look very clean. This would take up approx 16cm per side. But would be stacked back beautifully https://www.direct-fabrics.co.uk/recess-curtain-pole-kit.html Hope this gives you some ideas.

Comments (1)Pick something that looks great with your paving or roofing. Example: Our white house is RAL9010 and we chose RAL7039 windows, with some small RAL7032 accents (and our front door is RAL8022). This way there will always be some stone/cement that goes well with it....See MoreDSB
