Blinds for fitting in Bi-Fold Doors

April 18, 2014 by Blind Fitting Expert Leave a Comment

Neil Ginger, CEO of Origin Bi-Folding Doors, offers his advice on how fitting blinds can enhance interior decor, while complementing bi-folding doors.bi-fold doors|vertical blinds
Bi-folding doors make such a wonderful statement in a home, so it’s important that the blinds chosen to dress the doors are not only equally striking, but also fit with the style of a room. Blinds can be fitted in a number of ways to enhance the decor of a property:
Add a splash of colour
Keeping walls neutral and incorporating a colour scheme, fitting blinds, using soft furnishings such as cushions, lampshades and rugs is an easy and effective way to update the decor in a room without having to do any decorating. Colour schemes can be changed to reflect the seasons simply by switching these soft furnishings from rich, warm tones in winter to fresh, bright tones in summer.
Choose blinds to fit for style, not just functionality.
The type of blind fitted should take into account the use for the blinds, but also the style of the interior. Roman blinds are a classic, elegant addition to period properties, while more modern home interiors suit vertical blinds.
Bring the outside in.
Bi-folding doors allow home owners to connect their home with the outside living space. So, why not match the floral tones of the garden to the blinds?
Mix and match
Home owners should look at fitting blinds to match their doors, in a variety of colours, or alternatively express their creativity with bold, contrasting colours and patterns. Origin Bi-Folding Doors, for bi-folding doors|vertical blindsexample, has created nine eclectic colour palettes to encourage home owners to be more creative in their choice of colour for bi-folding doors. Rather than opting for the standard black, white or grey finish.
Be bold with print and colour
Bi-folding doors allow home owners to make a feature out of their doors, which should remain the case even when the blinds are closed. Choosing blinds in a bold print or colour, while keeping the rest of the decor neutral, will make the blinds stand out, especially with the sun shining through from outside.

Vertical Blinds fitting inside a recess – Blind Fitting Expert

April 6, 2014 by Blind Fitting Expert Leave a Comment

The versatility of vertical blinds allows them to be fitted in any area of the home. Vertical blinds provide a practical solution for shading and privacy to patio doors, french doors and the increasingly popular bi-fold doors. Kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms are an ideal setting for vertical blinds to be fitted.
Fitting vertical blinds supplies total light control from fully closed to open with filtering of light in between. You have complete privacy when the vertical blind is closed but easy access through patio doors when opened.

Blind Fitting Expert is usually asked to fit vertical blinds inside the window recess. We must fit top fixing brackets to the underside of the reveal. Most vertical blinds are easily snapped into the brackets when they are fitted. Just offer the track into right hand lip, as shown in the bracket images, then snap the blind into the spring clip on the left side.

We need to remember that vertical blinds must be positioned far enough away from the window to allow the vanes to rotate without any obstructions. Vertical blind vanes will normally be supplied with either 90mm or 127 mm width slats. You must fit the vertical blind brackets at least half a slat width away from any window or door handles. Fitting instructions should be provided with your vertical blind.

Vertical blinds can be as wide as 5 metres in width. Some kind customers kindly offer to help Blind Fitting Expert offer up a wide blinds into position. Even very wide vertical blinds can easily be fitted by one person. Just clip up one bracket and the blind will remain in place. Then move along and clip in the next bracket.
