Project details

Compare door-face mounting with an outer layer.

We discuss whether to mount on the door or the wall to keep your entrance easy and beautiful.

Direct door-face fixing

Mounting directly to the door keeps the glass covered as you move. We ensure stable brackets and retention keep the fabric neat and secure.

Outer mounts keep doors clear

Slatted blinds let you tilt and adjust light levels. We ensure the headrail profile fits your door for a clean, functional result that looks great.

Unique needs for each door

Even identical doors can have different handles or inactive sides. We assess both leaves to ensure your coverings work and look balanced.

Frequently asked

Can blinds attach directly to French doors?

Yes, certain models mount securely to door frames. We check structural needs and handle space first, ensuring a stable fit that stays neat when you open doors.

How do I avoid handle interference?

We carefully measure the projection of your hardware against the headrail. This practical check ensures your shades operate cleanly throughout the entire door swing.

Do French-door shades need hold-down hardware?

It depends on your model and how you use the door. We suggest approved retention systems to keep fabric tidy and functional while you walk through.

Should both doors have the same size?

Not necessarily. Each leaf can have unique glass or trim. We measure each side individually to ensure a tailored fit while keeping the overall look balanced.

Can I put drapery over French doors?

Drapery looks beautiful over doors when planned well. We help you choose tracks that park the fabric aside, leaving your door movement clear and easy.

Are cellular shades suitable for French doors?

Yes, if the model fits your specific frame depth. We confirm the hardware requirements beforehand to ensure they provide light control without catching your handles.

Can the covering be motorized?

Motorization depends on your chosen model and available power. We help you plan a clean, modern setup that stays clear of door hardware.

What photos help with a quote?

Share clear photos of your handles, hinges, and the entire door frame. A wider shot of the room helps us understand the best fit for your home.
