5 major benefits of made-to-order blinds

Off-the-shelf blinds rarely fit a British window. Here is what you gain from made-to-measure — from a clean fit to fabrics you simply can’t buy in a box.

Ready-made blinds come in a handful of widths. British windows do not. Here are the five things customers tell us they notice most after switching to made-to-measure.

1. They actually fit

A blind made to the millimetre sits flush inside the recess with no light gaps at the sides and no cut-down slats. On a bay window each pane gets its own blind at the correct angle.

2. You choose from hundreds of fabrics, not six

Plain, textured, patterned, blackout, thermal, sheer, PVC — and in every one of them, dozens of colours. You will see them in your own light, against your own paintwork, before you decide.

3. Better hardware, longer life

Metal brackets, sidewinder chains and aluminium tubes rather than plastic. Our blinds carry a 12-month warranty and most are still working perfectly a decade later.

4. Safety built in

Child-safety devices come fitted as standard, and cordless or motorised options are available on almost every type.

5. Fitted for you, for free

No measuring, no drilling, no wonky brackets. We measure, make and fit — and the price we quote on the day is the price you pay.
