Perfect fit blinds

4 replies

We need to put perfect fit blinds into our French doors in our kitchen. We have a very sunny garden and it's terrible when the sun is out.

Are they easy to fit and can anyone recommend a good online company please.

I've used Hillary's blinds before and although they've been well made and fitted well they are expensive so want to do it ourselves as it will be cheaper.

Thanks

I used perfect fit venetian blinds from blindstogo and they worked fine.

Fairly easy to measure up and fit. The only issue is that getting the clips in can be hard work. If you want to test getting the clips in you can just buy a couple of clips from ebay or amazon for a few quid and try them. I find that a very thin sheet of metal to slide between the seal and the window helps. This is especially true if you have older windows where the rubber seal has pretty much glued itself to the pane over time.

They do a lot of offers on bank holiday etc if you are interested in getting the best price.

We have the ones you clip into the glazing bead. They are a little tricky to get in as its a tight fit but a little bit of hand soap or washing up liquid helped. We got ours from 247 blinds and blinds2go

I've had Perfect Fit pleated blinds on 2 sets of patio doors since we moved in in 2013. They have been excellent, easy to fit and lasted really well. they are only just starting to look a bit tatty and I am about to order some more. Mine are from Direct Order Blinds. My friend recently bought some similar ones from Blinds 2 Go and they seem v similar.

I've tried to get something under the rubber seal and have really struggled. So I'm getting a quote off a blind company next week just to check I can definitely have them.
