Choosing blinds & awnings in Milton Keynes & Bedford areas
There are various ways of buying window blinds these days. You can buy online, from a retailer or made to measure from a supplier.
You may have an idea about which blinds you would like to purchase as well, but if not you will need advice on whether to buy vertical, roller, wooden, venetian or roman blinds for your windows.
Let’s consider which type of blind you may wish to choose. The most versatile is the vertical blind. Vertical blinds allow you to open the blind to the right, to the left or split them like curtains. You can control the tilt of the slats to control privacy and light at the same time.
Rollers are common because they are very simple to use, but you have no light control options. Plain colours with straight bottoms are in fashion at the moment.
If you are looking for something a little more upmarket and classy then wooden venetians are the way to go. They offer good control of light and give a room a warm feel. They are now available in cut down options which makes the price much more realistic. Beware of putting them in kitchens and bathrooms though because wood will warp. It is a natural product and this can’t be helped.
Onto where to buy blinds. If you are in Milton Keynes, Flitwick or Ampthill areas then there are plenty of outlets that supply blinds at set sizes. Some people go for this option because they expect the blinds to be cheaper but let’s look more into this. First of all you give up half a day at least going to all of the outlets selling these types of blinds. You will then spend half a day fitting it unless you are experienced at this kind of work. You are likely to have compromised on colour because they aren’t made for you; they have to be held in stock. I can’t speak for them all but as the blinds are mass produced to sell at a price, the quality is often poor, and you certainly will have compromised on how well the blind fits because it isn’t made to measure. You will either have gaps or will have to spend an hour or two cutting the blind to size.
Buying blinds online these days can be risky, as many companies have been set up out of a spare room to cash in. They can be poor quality products because you don’t get to see any samples before you buy. You also will have to fit the blinds yourself.
The best way of choosing and buying blinds is to call either Yager Blinds or Blind Inspirations. Both companies offer free advice, no obligation quotes and do not pressure you. Measuring and fitting is free and blinds and work are guaranteed. They also offer a price promise to make sure you can’t buy the same blind cheaper.
