| System | Walk-through | Light control | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical blinds | Draw aside | Vanes rotate | Lowest cost for wide doors |
| Panel blinds | Slide aside | Slide only | Clean, modern look |
| Roller blinds | Raise fully | Up or down | Often split into two or three blinds |
| Motorised roller | Raise with a remote | Up or down | Good for very wide or high doors |
Clearance
- Door handles must not catch the blind.
- Allow for the sliding leaf's handle and track.
- Ceiling fixing can clear handles and pelmets.
Stacking Space
Vertical and panel blinds stack to the side when open. Check the stack sits against the fixed pane or wall, not across the opening you walk through.
Access and Daily Use
- Stack away from the opening side.
- Wand controls are easier than cords on wide doors.
- Keep pets and children clear of loose chains.

Ballpark figures, not quotations. Indicative 2026 ranges, rounded, from published South African blinds price guides and Cape Town supplier price pages, checked September 2026. Per-blind figures are mostly supply prices for a window of about 1.2m x 1.5m, and fitting is often extra. Some sources include VAT and some do not, so confirm VAT on every quote. A measure and a written quote set the actual price. See Blinds Prices Cape Town for how these figures were compiled.
What Changes the Price
- Door width and height.
- System type and fabric.
- Ceiling or wall fixing.
- Manual or motorised.
Measuring, Quoting and Fitting
- Measure. The supplier measures each window, checks the frame or wall, and notes obstructions such as handles, burglar bars and cornices.
- Quote. You get a written quote per blind: product, fabric or slat, size, control, fitting and VAT.
- Order. Blinds are made to measure after you accept and pay any deposit. Ask for the lead time in writing.
- Fit. Brackets are fixed, the blinds hung, levelled and tested, and the controls explained.
Cape Town Considerations
- Wind. Any blind in front of an open door moves in a south-easter. Vertical vanes swing the most; close the door or draw the blind aside.
- Sun. West-facing patio doors get hot afternoon sun; screen fabric cuts glare.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best blind for a sliding door?
Vertical blinds for budget and light control, panel blinds for a modern look. Both draw aside so you can walk through.
Can roller blinds work on sliding doors?
Yes, often as two or three blinds. You raise them to walk through.
How much stacking space do I need?
It depends on the width and blind type. The supplier works it out when measuring.
Will the blind catch on the door handle?
Not if clearance is planned. Ceiling fixing often solves it.
