Shutter-like blinds in perfect fit?

6 replies

Due to our window type (tilt and turn), we need some perfect fit type blinds for our windows.

In an ideal world I’d have shutters, but window type (and maybe cost!) dictates that I can’t have these.

So I was thinking of the wide slatted blinds with tape which, sort-of, have the look of shutters.

But I can’t find them anywhere in perfect fit! Does this exist, does anyone know? I despair of having regular slatted blinds in my living room. I want something stylish. Please someone help!

Blinds2go have the biggest range. I’d suggest looking there.

I’m not sure that what you’re looking for is available for tilt and turn windows. Sorry. I have recessed tilt and turns, and have looked at all the various options. An alternative to perfect fits are the blinds with cords at the sides which are fixed top and bottom. They’re called Intu blinds.

Nearest option will probably be Venetians. Instead of buying on-line, get a couple of local blind companies to visit and see what they suggest.

Thanks @TDL. I checked them and they don’t have anything.

@seeingadistance - thanks. That was my assumption after Hours searching. I love my tilt and turn windows, but hate that I can’t have shutters. Good idea about the local blind companies. Guess it’ll have to wait for now.

Blinds2Go do a wide slatted Venetian...,6cms or maybe more. You can also elect for extra wide binding tape in a variety of colours.

If you mean a blind that has zero gap between wall and blind fitting then best of luck! They always come with a small gap to ensure they fit. You could always provide a measurement that is 1-2cm wider and hope for the best but the blind could easily be supplied too wide.
Hope that makes sense.

@Loofah01 no, I mean the “perfect fit” blinds that snap into the window frame. The style of window doesn’t allow me to use conventional blinds.
