Composite door & roller blind

Poppa_G

Hi, is it possible to fit a roller blind to a composite door?

We've just had double glazing fitted and the back door has a 2ft by 3ft pane of frosted glass, consequently the wife and daughters feel apprehensive of going into the kitchen at night so I was thinking of fitting a blind if at all possible.

Thanks

Yes it is, the width shouldn't be a problem but the length may be. if the length is too short you can buy a kit and then stiffen the fabric yourself, it is very easy. The only problem would be that the blind kit fixings is proud from the door so if the door opens quite flush the kit could get crushed or prevent the door opening properly.

A better option might be a roman blind. You could buy these of the shelf or made to order, or if you are a true MSE'r try making your own.
