Window Coverings for Sliding Doors
Window coverings for sliding doors can be difficult to find. They have a lot of jobs to do! They must allow full, easy access to the door, while still giving control over light, privacy and temperature.
Our team at Complete Blinds have everything covered though! Here are our top tips to help you find the best window coverings for your sliding doors.
Why can it be difficult to find window coverings for sliding doors?
Finding window coverings for sliding doors can be difficult, due to the size and access needs of the sliding door.
Sliding doors are often quite wide, which means some window coverings are not suitable for sliding doors.
Due to the fact that doors need to be easily accessible, any window coverings used for sliding doors must take this into account and must be able to open fully as a result.
This is why Blinds are the perfect coverings for sliding doors; they’re made to order, which means they are the perfect size for wide areas – and they roll all the way up (or across) enabling easy access to the sliding door. Not to mention the fact that Blinds provide privacy, light control and help with room temperature regulation!
Here at Complete Blinds Brisbane we take the stress out of choosing window coverings for your sliding doors as one of our happy customers Jaiden explains:
“I procured their services for my beachfront property and it looks amazing. I can still relate with the beautiful views outside despite the new Vertical Blinds I now have. The ability to control light penetration in the house is what I relish the most with my large windows and sliding doors sometimes allowing too much light. They are a perfect fit for my beachfront house, which I now visit more often.”
Here’s a rundown of our favourite window coverings for sliding doors:

Things to consider when choosing window coverings for sliding doors
Outside mount
Most window coverings for sliding doors will be installed externally, as an outside mount. Because most door recesses aren’t deep enough, the window covering will be mounted on the wall above.
Door handle
Different door handles will interfere with window coverings for some sliding doors. Chat with the friendly Complete Blinds team about door handle options for your specific needs.
Coverage options
Will you require the sliding door to be fully uncovered at times? We will design window coverings for your sliding doors, to make sure you have the right coverage for your design and lifestyle needs.

Our Complete Blinds team will work with you to ensure that the coverings for sliding doors chosen for your home will complement existing design features and styles.
