blinds for front doors

Front doors with glass panels are popular, but they can also leave you feeling exposed. Blinds for front doors can allow you to control the amount of light in your house and protect your privacy.

Why You Should Add Blinds to Your Front Door

With blinds on your front door, you’ll be able to block out sunlight on hot days. That can help keep your house cool so you won’t have to spend a fortune for air conditioning.

Glass in your front door can let you keep an eye on what’s happening in the neighborhood, but it can also allow your neighbors and passersby to see whether you and other members of your family are home, what you’re doing, and what types of valuables you have inside your house. Adding blinds to your front door will let you peek outside whenever you want and keep others from seeing inside your home.

How to Choose the Right Blinds for Your Front Door

Blinds should be large enough to cover the glass pane(s) in and around your front door, but not so large that they make it difficult to turn the doorknob or get in the way when people open and close the door. Blinds can be secured around the glass and at the bottom so they won’t swing whenever the door is opened or closed.

Knox Blinds offers blinds made with real and faux wood and aluminum. Wood is a classic choice that can blend well with practically any architectural design and décor. One downside is that moisture can cause wood to warp. If you’re concerned about humidity, faux wood blinds will be a better option.

Aluminum is another popular choice when it comes to blinds for front doors. Aluminum blinds are sleek and modern and available in a variety of colors.
