When people talk about patio curtains, they’re typically talking about one of two separate products: patio door curtains or patio roll curtains.
Patio door curtains are simply traditional curtains that are placed on the inside of your patio doors. Like any curtain, there are endless varieties, styles, colors, and materials to choose from, as well as curtains designed for both French patio doors and normal doors.
Patio roll curtains are a bit more specialized, and often are attached to patio canopies or patio awnings, designed to roll down when released and serve as a panel or barrier to block out the sun. These are also called “drop roll curtains” or simply “roll curtains”, and are intended to be a flexible, less expensive option for providing shade protection and cover for your patio during inclement weather.
