Blinds for Bifold Doors
When ordering blinds for Bifold doors, be sure to check when the doors are folded back open there is a sufficient clearance/gap between the doors.
The gap between the 2 doors must be double +5-10mm the widest point/depth/projection of the blind, otherwise the doors will not fold back to a open position.
e.g for perfect-fit roller blinds 2 x 60mm + 5mm = 125mm gap needed.

Or even the new Allusion System shown below which can be motorised and cord free.
