Electric Motorised Blinds for Patio and Balcony Doors installed in London. Bifold Doors. Sliding Doors. French Doors. Juliette Balcony Doors.

Electric Motorised Roller Blinds installed on Balcony and Patio Doors by Inspiring Your Home. We can use various categories of fabric, but there is a common theme of installing a Decorquip Capital Fascia (since this neatens the installation and hides the blinds when not in use)

What are the best blinds for Patio Doors?

Roller Blinds with Electric Battery Motors are the most versatile Blinds for Patio Doors of all types. You will know which type of door you have.
French Doors are a pair of doors that usually open by swinging outwards, one to either side
Bifold Doors open in a concertina motion travelling to one end or the other
Sliding Doors slide sideways, sometimes one is fixed at the end, sometimes you can slide both (or all) doors to any position on the track
Juliette Balcony Doors usually slide with a glass barrier at the lower half outside, often installed on upper floors with no true balcony
You can have single blinds or multiple – depending on the configuration and the width – often bifold doors will have a single blind at the end where the first opening door is.

Battery Electric Motors vs Hard Wired Electric Motors

We don’t mind, we offer both. Twenty years ago Hard Wired Electric Motors were the obvious choice, but Battery Electric Motors have come a long way (largely thanks to mobile phones) and we can now operate far larger blinds with batteries and they usually only need charging every 6-12 months (depending on use).
If you do want Hard Wired Electric Motorised Roller Blinds please do consider this at the planning stage – or you would need to  redecorate after the hard wiring has been chased in.

Child Safety – Electric Motorised Roller Blinds are always Child Safe – no dangling chains, loops or cords.

What fabric can you use?

Blackout, Regular or Screen – to suit your requirements

Decorquip Capital Fascia

Do you prefer the blind with Fascia or without ?

Partway through an installation, one of the Electric Roller Blinds has had its 120mm Decorquip Capital Fascia fitted the other has not. We think the Fascia is the finishing touch for a Roller Blind Installation

How many Electric Blinds can you operate at the same time?

Multiple blinds installed in Essex on one remote control

Here we have over a dozen blinds all on one control (you can control them individually or as a group). We have never found an upper limit to the number of blinds we can control.

Are Patterned Decorative Blinds available?

I’ve got Sliding Doors and Bifold Doors – what do I do?

How wide can you make a single blind for Patio Doors?

Single Wide Electric Roller Blind – French Doors – North London

A single electric blind for Bifold Doors is usually a maximum width of just over 3m as standard – possibly wider on occasion – but there is a possible issue. We get our Roller Blind Fabric up to 3m wide, and the full mechanism and headrail can add 3-5cm to this. However if your Patio Doors are under 2.5m in height we may be able to turn the fabric and therefore make a wider blind.

Do you need multiple blinds for Bifold doors?

Electric Blinds set at different heights on North London Bifold Doors

No, but, we often fit a single blind at the end of Bifold Doors for when you are using this panel as a door but leaving the rest of the Bifold Panels closed. The wider we make your blind the thicker the barrel has to be not to sag in the middle (we cannot support the centre of a roller blind). The biggest barrel we have used was 150mm/15cm/6″ in diameter – quite chunky – and you would want to have the space to conceal it. For truly specialist applications we would advise that you contact us sooner rather than later at the building stage so we can discuss where a blind can be installed

What is a Juliette Balcony?

Electric Roller Blind fitted to East London Juliette Balcony

A Juliette Balcony is not a balcony at all. Full length Sliding Doors are installed in place of a window and a safety barrier (usually in glass) is fitted outside. Excellent for light and ventilation

I want my blinds completely hidden – no problem.
