Ready Made Blinds are extremely popular and cheap, for a number of reasons,
Firstly the come in pre determined sizes, so for example if you have a window that is 120cm x 145cm, you will probably have to buy a blind 120cm x 160cm and then cut it down to your size. This can be very time consuming and fiddley. Secondly the fabric used is usually lower quality and may not be as good as blocking ligth out. Finally the majority of Ready made Rolller blinds use either plastic or cardboard tubing, which may bend with use over time.
On the other hand you buy a custom made to measure Roller blind, it is made to your exact sizes and there is no need for trimming. The Fabric can be as cheap or as expensive as you choose, many have blackout or solar protective properties built in. Lastly all our blinds use Aluminimum tubing so that they will not bend or break over time. For a few extra pounds you are assured that a custom made blind is a quality blind. So why buy Ready made Blinds?

It can be useful to purchase blackouts for your child's nursery, particularly for early summer mornings as it may help them sleep for longer.

Your blinds have hung in your windows for some time now, you regularly spring clean the rest of your home, but never tackle the blinds as you don't really know how? These handy tips should help, This information is intended as guide for a quick clean only
There’s a couple of options with Aluminium Venetian blinds, firstly you can use a blind cleaner, a special type of duster designed to get in between the slats. This makes the cleaning extremely quick and easy but it is only really suitable for dusting. For a more thorough clean, the blinds can be closed and wiped down or an even easier method is to take the blind down and use either the bath or shower to spray the blind down. Try to avoid using any soap products as unless you have the time to spend making sure that every last bit of soap is washed off. Soapy products can turn even the most expensive aluminium blind, a slightly yellow colour!
The trick to Wooden Venetian blinds is in the preparation. When the blinds have been installed and you have finished admiring them, it’s worth giving them a good polish with a wax based polish. This helps to protect the timber and the richness of colour. The wax in the polish builds up a protective layer which will repel any splashes or marks. This means that as long as this is done fairly routinely, once every three months or so, all you will need to do in the meantime is a little dusting.
You should find that the roller blind requires the minimum of maintenance, the act of raising and lowering the blind displaces dust from the fabric, if you found that there was a heavier build up of dust then simply use your vacuum to run over the material, it will not damage the fabric if used with a little care.
On most types of Roller blind any more substantial marks can be simply wiped away using a sponge and warm water.
Vertical blind materials are pre-treated with a protective coating to keep them straight and make them fairly stain/mark resistant. However, should you find that you need to clean them you should use a sponge and warm water with a mild detergent. Very gently dab away any marks whilst trying not to get the blind too wet or to rub too harshly so as to ensure the protective coating is not damaged. The fabric must be left suspended from the head-rail with the weight in place at the bottom to ensure that it dries evenly and straight.
Simply vacuum a pleated blind and it will be as good as new, there’s nothing else needed. There’s a very light wax coating to the fabric which helps keep them clean and also keeps the creases for the pleats in place.
Definitely do not get them wet as the creases may fall out.
Remember to clean your blinds often and the will look better for longer, however if your vertical blinds look beyond cleaning we now sell a range of replacement parts for vertical blinds online.
