Is it hard to repair? How do you know which parts to buy? I think I know how to get it out, but that’s about it. Thanks for any help.

Consumers are continuously bombarded with choices. What colours, size, design, style, etc.?

When it comes to choosing the perfect window treatment for your patio door, you are faced with the difficult decision of whether to go for drapes, curtains or blinds. Blinds are a favourite of mine, and for many reasons.

What is your first memory of patio door blinds? Are you maybe thinking about those awful vertical blinds found in older apartments?

If this is your perception, your mind needs to be changed! The market nowadays offers homeowners choice on all fronts in order to achieve your decorative goals.

Many professional decorators have a myriad of ways to categorise different blind types. All power to them of course!! I keep it straight and simple and tend to divide blinds into two main categories, i.e. Modern and Traditional.

The market for modern looking patio door blinds is vast. The most popular choices include aluminium blinds which blends well with a modern decorative theme and something like black leather furniture.

The more traditional blinds include vertical wooden blinds which, if incorporated effectively, can create a very cosy feel to your room. It’s also great for insulating your room – a great benefit in particularly the colder months.

Then there is off course the inevitable – bamboo blinds. These have been around for years now, and just doesn’t seem to loose it’s charm. It can be effectively introduced to just about any home decorating setting, but does an exceptional job well if you’re trying to create relaxing, beach-type atmosphere in your room.

Now these are the broad outlines on what the homeowner has to choose from. The question now beckons – why go for blinds as your window treatment of choice? Well the reasons are endless.

Some folks just plainly prefer blinds as opposed to curtains or drapes. Perhaps you want to create a more spacious feel to your room, or perhaps you enjoy that fact that it’s easy to install. Blinds have a great insulation capability and will be an excellent tool to keep the cold outside and the warmth indoors and also will protect your privacy when you need it.

We all want a great looking patio area, but we also want it to come at minimal effort to ourselves. If you opt for curtains, you will be required to wash these at fairly regular intervals. Blinds on the other hand are relatively easy to maintain, and cleaning them is a walk in the park. You obviously want to enjoy your home, and not slave away for hours trying to maintain it.

All things considered, a compelling argument ion favour of patio door blinds.

how is the best way to install a set of patio doors to a home with a concrete slab?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
punkin asked:


Do you need to scre the threshold down or can use just a sealer under it? If you have to use masonry screws do you set the door and get it plumb and then drive the screws or do you have to pull the door out and try to set up some anchors under the threshold? The stupid company who made this door doesnt have any instructions on how to install the door with a concrete slab.
