Have you heard of Perfect Fit blinds? Are they really a perfect fit or is that just another way of referring to the same old blinds and shutters? Aren’t all good quality blinds supposed to be a ‘perfect fit’?
Perfect Fit blinds can offer a great solution for any windows you have where traditional blinds can’t be fitted. What do they do, and how much do they cost? Let’s find out…
What Are Perfect Fit Blinds?
Perfect Fit blinds sit within a frame that clicks neatly into place between the glazing and the frame of your window. They are super easy to fit and don’t require any screws or holes in the walls. They are an extremely efficient and simple solution for any awkward windows where traditional blinds can’t be used. The blind slides up and down between the panels of the frame and moves together with your window or door as one unit.
Where Can You Use Them?
Perfect Fit blinds can be used in almost any room where you need blinds. However, they can only be fitted to uPVC windows. So if you have wooden or aluminium window frames, it is unlikely you will be able to fit them as the bead depth is generally too shallow to fit the frame.
There are some places where these blinds can be particularly beneficial:
Conservatories
Conservatories feature a lot of windows! They are essentially glass rooms, and they don’t have the space around the panes to fit blinds or curtains like the rest of your home may have. This makes Perfect Fit blinds a great option, as their individual frames click directly into the frames of your conservatory, meaning there are no obstructions to the doors or windows around them, so you can enjoy the full benefit of your conservatory without feeling like a tomato in a greenhouse on sunny days.
Patio Doors
Perfect Fit Blinds are also a top choice for patio doors. Whether you have French Doors or Bifolding Doors, because the blinds are fitted to the door itself rather than into the window recess, they won’t cause any obstruction when opening and closing the doors.
Kid’s Rooms
They are also a great option for a child’s bedroom or playroom. Kids love to fiddle with things and are very adept at making games out of whatever they can put their hands on. The cords and strings of a blind can be just a little bit too much temptation for swinging off! Perfect Fit blinds take this option out of the equation. With no strings or cords, they are much safer for your little ones.
Benefits Of Perfect Fit Blinds
Maximum Light Control
The most obvious benefit of Perfect Fit blinds is hidden in the name! Because they do fit your windows perfectly, there is no light sneaking around the edges of the blind causing a halo effect. This gives you maximum light control from every angle. Especially if you opt for blackout material for your blinds.
Improved Privacy
A perfect fit also means improved privacy. As the blinds fit your window snugly, unlike other blinds or curtains, there is no chance of anyone seeing around the edges and invading your privacy.
No Flapping
Because Perfect Fit blinds are encased within their own frame, which is then clipped to your window, there is no flapping when the windows are open, as can often be the case with other blinds and curtains.
Pet and Child Safe
As already mentioned, there are no cords or strings involved when it comes to Perfect Fit blinds. This removes any risk of strangulation to pets or children. For more information on child safety and blinds check out our blog here.
How Much Do Perfect Fit Blinds Cost?
The cost of your blinds will depend on the size, fabric and style you chose. They can be used for doors, conservatories and windows and are available in wooden Venetian, aluminium Venetian, cellular, Vision and roller blinds.
The cost, including fitting, can be anywhere upwards of £189 for a half-glazed door or £239 for a full-glazed door. This might seem like a lot, especially when you consider how many windows are in a conservatory. The reason they are generally more expensive than your average blind is simply that there are more materials involved in the product.
However, the fact that the blinds are integrated into their own frame means they are very hard-wearing and can continue to be used for up to 20 years. You may find when you consider this that the cost is favourable to those of a normal blind.
Worth The Cost?
In our opinion, yes! Perfect Fit blinds are the perfect solution for those windows where a traditional blind cannot be fitted, such as windows where there is no recess, flat windows, windows with top swing or tilt and turn, as well as those little feature windows found in little corners of your home.
Perfect Fit blinds also provide superior thermal efficiency to other blinds. Windows are the weakest part of any house when it comes to heat loss – around 10% of all heat in a house is lost through them. Because these blinds are integrated into their own frame, which then fits tightly to the window, they offer greater thermal efficiency. Think of the savings you can be making on your energy costs in winter!
As with many of our blinds, Perfect Fit blinds can also be motorised for easy use with no loose cords or cumbersome tilt sticks getting in the way of things.
On top of that, here at Just Blinds, we offer a 3-year guarantee as opposed to the industry standard 1 year. So if you have any worries about mechanisms breaking, you can rest assured that we are here to help solve any problems.
