When you invest in blinds for your home, you want to know that they will fit perfectly, suit your living space, and last for years to come. Most blinds, including roller blinds, vertical blinds, blackout blinds and roman blinds can all be made to measure. But what exactly does made-to-measure (or in some cases, custom blinds) mean? Let’s take a look…

When you choose made-to-measure blinds from Bliindz.com, not only will you receive an exceptional service that comes with years of local experience, but you’ll also get customised blinds that have been manufactured to your exact measurement requirements. Covering Wymondham, Watton, Attleborough, Dereham, Norwich and all surrounding areas in Norfolk we’ve made and fitted blinds for hundreds of local satisfied customers. We even have a showroom so that you can come to see all the styles and colours available, or we also offer home consultations free of charge.

Readymade blinds, on the other hand, are not explicitly sized to your living space and have been made to different sizes with you buying the size closest to your requirements. However, these can then be cut to size, which is also known as off-the-shelf blinds. But in this post, we’re going to focus on why made-to-measure is best.

Why Choose Made-to-Measure?

The main reason that many people choose made-to-measure blinds is that, in a nutshell, they are better-looking. This is because they are specifically made to fit the window space and therefore, look smart and clean-cut – the perfect fit. After all, your blind is made to fit the window perfectly. Readymade alternatives, on the other hand, will most often require some cutting to size. Cutting readymade blinds down to size takes a steady hand, and even the most professional of cutters can encounter a frayed edge from time to time. Plus, you can never be guaranteed that they will perfectly fit your window space. This is why made-to-measure is best.

When shopping for blinds, a lot of people opt for readymade blinds because they’re put off measuring the window space. But despite how it may seem, measuring for blinds really isn’t as complicated or technical as you think. Plus, what’s more, is that at Bliindz.com, we have specialised consultants who will work with you to find the perfect blinds from the measurement stage to installing your beautiful new blinds. It couldn’t be easier.

Unique to You

Made-to-measure blinds are not mass-produced and are instead made from scratch as an individual tailor-made item at our factory in Norwich. These are handmade with love and care to suit your exact taste, window size and your design requirements. The benefit, and most important reason that many choose custom made, is that you are safe in the knowledge that your blinds will fit your windows perfectly when they go up, with no additional alterations necessary before fitting.

A well-made blind should be able to fit your window perfectly, ensuring that day light is kept out when it needs to be, and that heat is kept in during the colder months. By creating a blind that's to your exact measurements and style requirements, we can help you to enjoy a warm,
cosy home throughout the winter, and a cool and shaded living space during the
summer months.

Every Home is Different

Every home is different, and sometimes, window bays can be awkward, oddly shaped or unconventionally sized which can make purchasing new blinds very tricky. But there is absolutely no need or reason to settle for a bog-standard readymade blind that could be found in any home. Instead, with Bliindz.com, you could invest in our made-to-measure service and create the home you want. With the freedom to choose from a variety of beautiful fabrics, patterns and designs, you can create something uniquely stylish, which you will love for many years to come.

Top 3 Advantages of Made-to-measure Blinds

Not sure if you’re ready to take the plunge and buy new, made-to-measure blinds for your home? No problem. We’ve pulled together the top 3 advantages of why you should choose made-to-measure blinds for your home.

1.   The Perfect Fit

Every window is different. And with this in mind, very few windows come as a standard size. In other words, no one size fits all. Therefore, finding blinds to fit your space perfectly can be a challenging task and can also result in having blinds that just don’t look right.

But with made-to-measure blinds, your windows are specifically measured so that your beautiful new blinds are made to fit them correctly. After all, you want blinds that fit correctly to help keep the light out and offer better privacy. A perfectly fitting blind can also increase your home’s energy efficiency as the warmth is kept in and the cold draughts out – it’s a win-win and certainly a long-term investment.

2.   Choice of Fabric

One of the most significant benefits of having custom made blinds is having the creative control of choosing exactly what material, fabric and colour scheme you want. Not only will you be able to find something that is the exact colour, pattern and style to complement your home décor, but you can also be guaranteed that you will get only the highest quality material too. Don’t forget to ask your consultant to see some samples first before making your final decision. At Bliindz.com, we have loads to choose from and something for every home.

3.   The Best Quality

For some people, readymade blinds are the ideal option and suit them. However, on the whole, perfectly fitted blinds are made to much higher standards than regular blinds. Their excellent quality makes them durable and more economical in the long term as they shouldn’t need replacing as regular at standard blinds do.
