With the search for window decoration for patio doors, there is a variety of types and options to consider. On a lovely summer day, obviously you want to open the doors. Which window coverings are the best choice in that case? Somfy does not actually supply window coverings but it is a supplier of motors. Poweredblinds, our partner offers all types of blinds with Somfy motors. We will be happy to help you find the best window decoration for your specific situation.
First of all, note which way the door turns. If the door opens to the outside and the window decoration is mounted on the door, be careful. The window decoration might get wet when it rains. Many types of window decoration can withstand some moisture but not direct rain. Additionally, take into account wind and draughts. Choose, for instance, side rails to prevent the window covering from flapping against the window.
Roller blinds are a popular choice for patio doors. Choose to mount electric roller blinds on the wall or for patio doors, ideally on the door itself. With roller blinds, it is recommended to mount side guides on the door, so the blinds stays close to the door when you open it. The blinds are available in different fabrics and sizes so they will suit any interior.
You can recognise them by the folds in the fabric; electric roman blinds. They are simple but very attractive. Besides the privacy these curtains offer, they also protect the home from the sun and keep your house cool. An electric roman blind has no cords which is a big advantage if you have children. Do note that Roman blinds always take up a relatively large amount of space when folded. Roller blinds or venetian blinds 'disappear' as it were, but roman blinds will always be visible.
Electric venetian blinds are known for their timeless and classic character. Choose from horizontal or vertical blinds. Horizontal blinds are also known as slats, a popular window covering in modern and classic homes. Slats can be raised and lowered or tilted. This way, you can play with the light and block views from the neighbours. The slats can be attached to both the door and the frame. Choose a cool or soft look, matching your interior. Maintenance of venetian blinds is a bit more work, they are more difficult to clean than other types of window coverings.
Curtains add a substantial amount of atmosphere to a home and there are many different options. For example, you can choose ‘inbetween’ curtains or blackout curtains. Curtains make it easy to open doors. A disadvantage of curtains is that they cannot be mounted on the door but on the wall or ceiling though. So if you are looking for window coverings that can be mounted on the window, it is better to choose one of the other types.
These curtains match any interior style, and are therefore suitable for any type of room or window. The curtains prevent people from looking in and they are very suitable for blocking the sun. The cellular blinds can be placed directly in front of the window so they do not get in the way when you want to go out through the door. You can hardly go wrong with pleated blinds; they are a good option in any home.
Make life easy and opt for electric window decoration, everything can be motorised. For instance, you can choose to have the window coverings open and close at set times. If you have several types of window decoration in your home, this is ideal. Opening and closing them manually can be a time-consuming chore. With a Somfy motor, you only need to press one button to open or close all window coverings.
