Bi-fold doors: per-pane, or nothing across the opening
A bi-fold wall folds back to nothing. That is the point of it, and it is why almost every conventional blind is wrong for the opening — anything spanning the doors has to be fully raised before the doors can move.
Per-pane blinds solve it. Each leaf carries its own blind, the whole wall folds back with the blinds in place, and nothing has to be raised first.
Perfect-fit per pane
A slim frame clips into the glazing beading of each leaf and holds a pleated or Venetian blind flat against the glass. It folds with the door, adds almost no depth and needs no drilling.
This is what we fit on the large majority of Kent bi-fold installations.
Track systems across the opening
Where you want the softer look of fabric across the whole wall, a vertical or panel track can stack to one side — provided there is enough wall return to take the stack. On a four or five-leaf run that stack is substantial and needs planning at survey.
Heat, glare and the evening
Bi-fold walls are usually south or west facing. A solar-screen or reflective pleated fabric handles summer gain; a dimout keeps the room private after dark when the glass turns into a mirror from the inside and a window from the outside.
