I returned from Florida yesterday after spending two weeks over there. It was not going to be a holiday as I was alone and intended to do some work on the house. I ended up replacing 2 sets of patio doors with new ones that have blinds integrated into the centre of the glass. They are great. They look great and slide really easily on the sliders. I was shocked at how poorly the original doors were fitted when the house was originally built. I was surprised that they had actually remained in the aperture as they were held in by wood nailed to the side of the opening with really short screws. The top was held in with 1 screw and there was a 4 inch gap between the top of the door and the header. It is now secured with a 4 x 2 timber frame that is screwed into the aperture and is not going anywhere! The doors look fantastic and the blinds can be opened by sliding a handle on the inside of the doors.
