Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors

Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors

Do vertical blinds work well for sliding glass doors? Sliding glass doors are brilliant on warm summer days, allowing light into your home and opening up to nature. However, sometimes sliding glass doors can cause some issues. For example, when the sun shines directly on them, an uncomfortable glare can emerge. Not only that, you might not feel like you have a lot of privacy.

However, rather than let go of your sliding glass doors, why not install vertical blinds? Vertical blinds for sliding glass doors are an ideal fit, covering the whole glass section and giving you more precise lighting control. In addition, you can pull and twist these blinds in any way that you choose to make your living space comfortably. And, when you close them, you can shut the world out fully.

By choosing vertical blinds from Easyfit, you can get the right fit for your sliding glass doors. Our vertical blinds come made-to-measure for any size of sliding glass doors, and you can style your blinds with unique shades and patterns. Not only that, you’ll get durable blinds that keep their looks and their performance for decades to come. You’ll make a great investment with Easyfit!

What are Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are a classic design for sliding glass doors. An incredibly popular option available in various fabrics, vertical blinds extend downward from the top of your doors. From there, you can pull them across to open up your glass doors, or you can tilt the blinds to let in as much light as you need. As a result, you get a precise level of control with these blinds.

Vertical blinds can also work well all year round. In the winter, when your sliding glass doors may be allowing more cold air into your home, your blinds could act as an additional layer of insulation. And, on hot summer days when the sun shines down intensely, our vertical blinds can reflect heat from your sliding glass doors away from your home. Because of this, these blinds will always keep you comfortable.

You can design your vertical blinds for sliding glass doors perfectly, too. At Easyfit, we make sure all of our vertical blinds are bespoke, meaning you can style them with unique shades and patterns to suit your sliding glass doors. You can be sure that they’ll last, too, as we use durable, hard-wearing fabrics. So invest in a bold design with confidence for your vertical blinds today!

How Do Vertical Blinds Enhance Sliding Glass Doors?

Vertical blinds work well for sliding glass doors in particular. Because these doors are often tall, expansive designs, vertical blinds work well by covering the whole glazing section from the top down. Not only that, vertical blinds are light and easy to tilt and pull away. Because of this, they’re a fuss-free solution that doesn’t get in the way of you opening your doors.

Another benefit of our vertical blinds is that they improve insulation for your sliding glass doors. Glass can keep a lot of cold air away from your home, but the door can make your home more susceptible to chilly conditions in the winter. So our vertical blinds work almost like a cover for your door, making sure it doesn’t get too cold. Blinds can even improve the lifespan of your doors by reducing their exposure to extreme temperature.

Vertical blinds can also improve your home’s privacy. When installed for sliding glass doors, they can cover up the glazing sections to stop light coming into your home and to stop people looking inside it. As a result, you get the peace and privacy you need to enjoy your living space without any distraction. And, with Easyfit’s high-quality blinds, you’ll do it in comfort as well.

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.

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.
