The indoor-outdoor lifestyle is a quintessential part of the Australian way of life. Glass doors are one of the most common ways to connect two living spaces, such as an outdoor patio and an indoor living area. This, however, can create issues when it comes to controlling the temperature, privacy, and lighting in the home. This is where picking the right window coverings for sliding doors plays a big role.
If you want to cover your sliding doors with window coverings, you have a variety of options to choose from. We’ll look at some of the most popular types of sliding door window coverings and the advantages they provide.
Vertical blinds are one of the most popular solutions used to cover sliding doors due to their versatility and affordability. They can be easily adjusted to control the amount of light that comes into the home, and they provide a certain level of privacy. They’re also a non-obtrusive window covering as they stack back into a small stack, allowing you to use your sliding door completely without blocking your view. However, vertical blinds are not as energy efficient as some other window coverings, so they may not be the best choice if you’re looking to save on your energy bills.
Roller blinds are one of the most commonly used blinds in Australian homes and they are no exception when it comes to covering sliding doors because of their easy-to-use functionality and unobtrusive design. They are also one of the most energy-efficient window coverings on the market, making them a great choice if you’re looking to save on your energy bills. Roller blinds are available in a variety of fabric transparencies and can be used to filter or completely block sunlight, depending on your needs.
Panel glide blinds are a stylish alternative to vertical blinds that give your home a beautiful aesthetic. They are essentially a modern version of vertical blinds with very wide panels that move along a track in the same way that vertical blinds do. Blockout options are available for panel glide blinds to give your space unrivalled privacy.
Another popular window covering for sliding doors are curtains. Sliding door curtains can control lighting and privacy while also functioning similarly to your sliding door. Curtains can add a certain touch of elegance to a space, depending on the look you want to achieve with your interior décor. They’re especially convenient because they’re available in a variety of sizes and can be customised to fit any door. Curtains come in a variety of styles and fabrics, so you can find the perfect set to complement your home’s décor. They also provide privacy and insulation, making them a great choice for bedrooms and other private spaces.

The knowledge of products and the confidence Larry had a quotation time gave me so much comfort and assurance to invest my money in the security and blinds he suggested would be the best for my needs. Great turn around time with clear communication from start all the way to installing was effortless. I can’t highly recommend enough what a quality experience I received from this company

Sabine Wienand2021-04-09Wonderful team who managed to create the perfect solution for our 'tricky space'. Reliable and punctual, highly commanded!
Panelock Building Solutions2021-02-19I contacted KR Blinds for some idea of costings of maybe an aluminium awning to weather seal an open end of a patio. The assistance from Toni was very friendly, and extremely helpful, even offering suggestions for a more economical option. How refreshing it is to see that sort of sincerity and honesty that puts a customers best interests in front of making a sale. That leaves me in no doubt that KR Blinds & Security are a quality Nambour business that would always look after their clients. Col Watt.
