Perfect Fit blinds

I'm considering getting some blinds for my French doors, and on googling, Perfect Fit have come up as an ideal solution. However I have looked on various sites selling them, and every single one offers a maximum drop of 1600mm. Our French door panes are 6 foot high so about 1800-ish mm, which I would have thought was fairly standard - or even on the short side, given that they aren't floor to ceiling. Am I missing something? Are they not meant to cover the whole pane? Are there sites that sell them in a longer drop? I don't want to pay £££ for them, only to have a gap of several inches at the bottom!

Is the actual window pane part 6 ft high? you must have very tall doors or narrow surrounds?
They fit inside the frame so I imagine most windows won't be taller than 1600?
I have them on my loft french doors.

I had mine made by a local company, I would think if you went to one of those rather than buying online you could have any size you wanted.

Not quite 6ft actually but more like 5'7" = 172cm. Definitely taller than the max of 160cm. Not sure I could afford to have them specially made, I was just thinking of getting them in the sale from one of the online blinds companies.

Are you sure you've checked enough sites? We got perfect fit blinds from here and they are saying maximum drop is 210cm?

I ordered some last week and there was no issue with the patio doors. Ours are approx 170cm. We had a local firm come to quote and they will also fit them.

We have gone for a Venetian blind as he said the pleated style you can get flies squished and then you can't clean them.
