Blinds for slide and turn doors

We have almost decided on x3 slide and turn doors manufactured by ID Systems in Norwich, for our extension looking out over the garden. Each pane will be approx 1100mm wide. When we visited them they didnt have a working integral blind so we couldnt see what it looked like. However, we could see it’s manually operated by a pull cord, and the whole mechanism is attached to the outside of each pane. This is a bit off-putting. Has anybody got these same blinds installed please? How do you find working them and how they look visually with the mechanism and external cord? If you have slide and turn doors but opted for a different blinds system, please could you tell me what it is and how you’re getting on with it? Thanks so much much. Irene

    Hi Irene, if you don't want a pull cord, you could have 3 remote-controlled blinds. They'd be more expensive but would have a very neat appearance - see photo. Joy

    Thanks for your comment but I think this is just a generic response and not specific to slide and turn doors?

    That's right - they're not specific to 'slide and turn' doors. They're traditionally positioned above 'slide and turn' doors (in the space between the top of the doors and the ceiling) so they don't cover any of the glass/views when compressed.

    For blinds with a drop of 2300mm how much space between the ceiling and top of the doors would be required?

    Hi Irene, in answer to your query:

    For a drop of 2300mm, the fixed rail, moving rail, and compressed honeycomb fabric would fit in a space of 92-113mm (depending on fabric choice, i.e., thickness).
