Vertical honeycomb for glass doors
Honeycomb blinds for sliding doors
Sliding doors are the largest area of glass in most homes, and the hardest to cover with a blind that goes up and down. Vertical honeycomb blinds draw sideways instead, stacking neatly to one side so you can walk through — with the same insulating cells as any honeycomb.

Doors are measured for traffic.
Which side you walk through, where the handle sits and how much wall there is decide the stack. We check before we recommend.

Why a vertical honeycomb
A blind that rolls or lifts from the bottom is awkward on a door — you have to raise it every time you want to walk out. A vertical honeycomb blind runs sideways on a track, so you draw it back like a curtain and the doorway is clear.
Because the fabric is pleated, it stacks into a small bundle when open, taking up less of the door than most alternatives.
Insulation on the biggest glass
Large sliding doors let a lot of heat in on a summer afternoon and a lot of warmth out on winter nights. A honeycomb blind traps air in its cells in front of the glass, which helps slow that down. How much difference it makes depends on the door, its aspect and the fit, so we do not put a number on it.
Other options for doors
Vertical honeycomb is one of several ways we cover glass doors. Sliding plantation shutters, vertical blinds, panel glide blinds and Veri Shades all suit sliding doors too, each with a different look and feel. We bring samples and talk through which suits your door and the room.
