Door pic. Steel, 15 panel. Currently use neodymium magnets so I am not worried about mounting. Mounting is dyi, buying is do it with help.

Lots of them out there. Are you blind?

Show what I asked for.
25x68 vinyl black mini blinds. I'll go 70.
Aren't there places that make custom blinds? "Next Day" maybe. I forget another one that advertises here.
From what I find they are all aluminum. White vinyl is a dime a dozen.

There is a 36 x 72 you can cut.
Have you called them on the phone? The web is good for cheap. Local stores are more expensive usually but they are good for having what you want, or finding it. Though I do see a lot of what they offer is coming to your house to measure and then install. Of course that doesnt' help but I would call on the phone either the biggest local blind company, or the biggest online company that you know has some black blinds. I suppose many just import, but some must actually do some cutting.
Well, I couldnt' find the size you wanted but there certainly ere black vinyl
This comes in 25x64 and many other sizes, though that's the only 25" size.

often will you have the blinds all the way down. Maybe all the time? Maybe rarely?
Also have 24x72 and 27x72. Can 27 be sawed to 25?
This is also 25x64

There are solutions if it has to be 25" wide, but 64" length is not long enough to cover the window. He can buy sheets of black craft paper from a dollar-store to tape up the bottom of the window, or buy two blinds and cannibalize one blind to use the slats to add to the other blind.
I have no confidence in adding slats. That means adding the string. I want nice not rigged.
There is no string shortage. They sell the original style string either online or at a store that makes custom blinds. Or maybe a different style would look even cooler. For my bedroom curtain, I ran the originaal curtain rod's string down the side and all the way across the botttom, so I could open or close the curtain while lying in bed. After
35 years the string wore out. But they sell string just like it, or in lots of other colors. I'm going to replace the whole st ring, not just splice a piece where the old one wore out.
Apparently your window is not standard sized. Change your window so you will never have trouble finding blinds again.
I cut a couple inches off one end of vinyl blinds so they'd fit in the window opening. I've still got the 2" stubs around which have been useful as shims.
I'll admit that adding slats could be a problem if they use a tape with cross pieces for the slats to rest on. You have to talk to someeone at a custom place to see what they say. Even if you do not hire them, and you probably won't, they shouldn't mind giving you 5 minutes. Calling after 4 or 4:30PM works well. At least some days, people have finished their work by then and are just sitting around waiting until it's time to leave (unless this place gets customers after people leave work at
4.)I thought about that. Really, he should make the door wider, and to keep the symmetry of the house as seen from the outside, he should make the whole house wider. And longer too, to keep proportions the same.
So what are they like inside?. I have a feeling they are like chocolate covered cake cookies, hard on the outside and mushy on the inside.
Doesn't this mean they are asymmetric?. That might bother some people and not bother others.

The plastic is uniform in cross section.
They're flat, rectangular extruded plastic about 1/8" in thickness,
1 1/2" wide and 2" long. Useful.Join the Discussion
