Budget

Window blinds are a type of window covering that can be made from a variety of materials and fabrics. They are typically composed of long, horizontal, or vertical slats that can be maneuvered by cords to control light and privacy. The best part about custom blinds is that you can customize your design to fit your specific taste and style.

You can also choose whether you want the slats to be separated by width or aligned in groups of equal size for a congruent look. You can even fine-tune details such as a valance, cord pull, and more.

Unlike ready-made window blinds, which follow preset measurements, customized blinds are crafted to fit your windows perfectly, eliminating gaps and leaving no room for light leakage. They are also available in a wide variety of colors, styles, and fabrics, making them the perfect choice for any space.

Measurements

Whether you’re buying blinds online or from a store, the measurements that you provide are important. Make sure to use a steel tape measure and double-check that your measurements follow the width-by-height format (W x H). Also, be aware of obstructions, such as doorknobs or molding, when measuring. Using spacer blocks or extension brackets can help your window treatment extend out to avoid protrusions.

To find the width, measure the inside of your window frame’s top, middle, and bottom. Take the narrowest measurement for the width. If you want the blinds to cover the entire opening, measure the height from the top down to the sill or the bottom of the frame. Be sure to check the product specifications for a minimum inside frame depth and fully recessed requirement.

If you are planning to mount your custom-made blinds outside of the frame, make sure that you leave enough room for the headrail and mounting brackets. Contact customer service to learn about the fabric width that will be deducted from your measurement.

Materials

Choosing the right materials for your blinds will help you create an aesthetically pleasing room. From blackout fabrics to semi-translucent fabrics, you can choose from a vast selection of colors and textures to create the look you want. Choose a color that matches trim or pick a statement piece to make your home stand out.

Window blinds can be a costly investment, and you want to ensure that they will last. While budget-friendly plastic and vinyl blinds have a short lifespan, wood and higher-quality fabrics can last up to 15 years with regular dusting and cleaning.

Unlike pre-cut blinds, custom-made window treatments are crafted to fit your windows, which reduces waste. They also typically come with a warranty to protect your investment and can be replaced if they are damaged. In addition, most custom blinds are made with low VOC materials that don’t pose a threat of off-gassing harmful contaminants in your home. They also have a return policy that is much more generous than most retailers.

Installation

Custom-made blinds are generally more expensive upfront, but they can save you money in the long run. They are also usually of higher quality, offer a perfect fit, and come with superior customer service and support.

When you purchase custom-made window blinds, a professional will help with installation. They can answer any questions you have and make sure your new blinds are up to standard. They can also advise you on any potential problems or issues that might arise with your blinds and how to fix them.

To install your new blinds, start by removing any existing window treatments and preparing the windows for installation. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific instructions on this step. Next, mark the spots where you’ll fasten your brackets with a pencil (for inside mounts) or use a stud finder to ensure your brackets are attached to a wood stud or beam (for outside mounts). Once your brackets are installed, they can be clipped into place to hang the headrail or vanes of your window blinds. Next blog post.
