Vertical Blinds For Glass Doors

Vertical Blinds For Glass Doors

Create the dream combination by pairing vertical blinds with sliding glass doors. The two work brilliantly together, adding stylish function to your home. Why not push the boat out and enhance your property’s appearance and impress your guests?

Sliding glass doors offer one of the best transitions into nature from your living space. They’re ideal for living rooms – letting in more light and making the space feel bigger. Glass doors bring the outdoors in, giving you a sense of air, nature and wonder. They provide the antidote to claustrophobia – you’ll never feel boxed in with sliding glass doors.

There are plenty of benefits; however, there are drawbacks that go hand-in-hand. Because you get maximum light, glass doors aren’t the most private of entrance ways. Too much sunlight leads to several issues that negatively affect your quality of life. Along with lack of privacy, your home can get too hot in summer, glare can become problematic, and discolouration may occur.

That’s where vertical blinds come in to save the day. All windows need covering – a window without a shading solution is like going to work without your trousers on! Blinds are necessary, without question. So, let’s explore why vertical blinds are a great fit for sliding glass doors.

Temperature Control

It’s a feature of high importance – the ability to regulate your room’s temperature helps you remain comfortable.

Vertical blinds offer this in spades. Draw them closed to create an effective thermal barrier that retains more heat and keeps the cold at bay. This feature is highly effective for those cold winter months when we spend more time indoors and spend more money on central heating. Moreover, it’s great for people who work from home – it’s not simple staying warm all day during winter, and it’s expensive keeping the central heating going day and night.

Vertical blinds represent a brilliant addition to your home insulation – they make your property more energy-efficient. Open the blinds during sunlight hours to warm the room, and close them when darkness falls to retain more heat. It’s pretty simple yet very effective. You’ll save a lot of money by lowering your energy bills, and you’ll cut down on your carbon footprint. Vertical blinds for sliding glass doors are a winning combination for your finances and the environment.

This amazing temperature regulation works equally well in the summer. When the weather gets too hot, and sunlight is streaming into your room, close your vertical blinds and enjoy a cooler, more comfortable space. They’re essential for hot days. Without them, you’d be sweating a lot, especially as sliding glass doors create a greenhouse effect. You’d bake inside without a shading solution. Vertical blinds are easy to adjust, giving you the perfect angle for temperature control.

Create the ideal thermal barrier to keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Light Regulation

Along with heat comes light. We know the beauty that sliding glass doors afford, but with wide-open views comes decreased privacy. We all love to see out, but we don’t want people looking in. That’s why vertical blinds are fundamental to maintaining privacy in your home. You’ll gain a greater sense of ease and security knowing you can go about your business privately, without unwanted attention.

If you have a ground floor bedroom with glass sliding doors, vertical blinds are the ideal addition. You’ll enjoy total privacy for intimate settings where your personal space is important. Our window coverings are essential for privacy and feeling comfortable in your own home.

Strong sunlight creates glare and is a nuisance when using screens. It’s a real problem when watching TV or at work on your computer. You don’t want sunlight glaring into your eyes or reflecting off your screen, making it impossible to see. It’s another reason why vertical blinds are necessary, improving your comfort and quality of life.

Blocking out light is the only way to prevent discolouration. Vertical blinds are great for protecting your valuable wooden floors and furniture. Our window coverings stop strong sunlight from fading paint, helping protect your prized artworks. Sliding glass doors create beautifully bright and spacious rooms, but vertical blinds are the answer when you need privacy and protection.

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
