Bifold doors, sliding doors, and patio doors are all stunning additions to any home and are a popular choice for those looking to bring the joy of nature into their homes. They have the power to transform a room into a tranquil oasis, blurring the lines between the great outdoors and your cosy abode.
In summer they can be opened wide creating a seamless transition between house and garden, perfect for roaming pets and playful children.
Despite the many benefits of bifold doors, they do come with their own set of challenges. Including privacy, light control, and insulation.
Come the winter season your magnificent bifold doors tend to remain closed for extended periods of time in a bid to keep your home warm. It’s during these colder months that you’ll discover the benefits of quality curtains.

Your bifold door curtains should effortlessly complement the style of your room, and with our extensive selection of colours and designs to choose from, you’ll undoubtedly find your perfect match.
Curtains with blackout lining block out external disturbances and create a cosy haven within your home. They block out external light and work as an insulating barrier helping to maintain a comfortable temperature.
If you’re looking to really keep the heat in your home you may want to consider our thermal curtains, they harness the power of warmth. Excelling at keeping chills out of your room and retaining heat.
Blackout curtains are beneficial during all seasons. In the summer draw your curtains to protect your room from the sweltering rays, this will prevent your room from getting too hot.
Curtains are also a brilliant way of controlling the light in your home. During summer months when evenings are long and the sun sets late, create a cosy atmosphere by drawing the curtains when you’re ready to relax.
Excessive sunlight and UV rays are not just harmful to yourself but also to your furniture, flooring, and artwork. The sun can cause fading to your precious possessions. Curtains will help to block out sun rays and increase the longevity of your items whilst preserving their vibrancy.
If you have front-facing bifold doors, curtains can ensure that your summer sanctuary remains secluded and private, away from any prying eyes. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, or simply enjoying a relaxed movie marathon curtains provide the privacy you need.
Curtains aren’t just a functionality, they can enhance the overall ambiance and aesthetic appeal of a room. You can opt for deep hues and textured materials to fit into a traditional home. Style with dark wood furnishings and shabby chic accessories.
Curtains in neutral tones suit modernistic kitchens and dining rooms with chrome accessories and minimalistic decor.
They’re also super easy to maintain which is always a bonus. Most curtains can be machine-washed - check out our blog, An Essential Guide To Washing Your Curtains.
This means you can keep them clean and fresh every season, this is especially convenient if you have pets or small children running through your bifold doors with muddy coats and sticky fingers.
If you're not looking for something to block out light, insulate your home, or work as a defence against noise. Voiles are stylish and offer privacy, ideal for when you have your bi-fold doors open in summer.
Voiles still allow light, heat, and a summer breeze into your home whilst discreetly giving you a little privacy from neighbours and passers-by.
