Vertical blinds

Hi, has anyone used any of the online companies and diy fitted?



Just wondering about quality etc.



Thanks

Look in the Argos catalogue, that's where ours came from and took minutes to make up, trim and fit.

arrived within two days, plenty good enough for my use and went up easily with trimming to fit. prices are a lot cheaper than anywhere else I have seen

I needed curved vertical blinds for a bay window. Got the curved track made by the people that supply them to most blinds manufacturers. Got the louvres sewn by a local company. Got the weights/ hangars from ebay. Saved over 100 pounds. They sting you for curved ones, and say "oooooh, they're custom made" etc, then charge a huge markup on the tracks. For straight ones, argos are good, although the fabrics are limited. Warning - the colours often look different for a finished blind than small samples. Choose you colours carefully ! All the best, Simon.

Knighton Blinds (found in eBay) do 3 blinds made to measure for £ 70 or 6 blinds for £ 150

Easy to put up but they are thin, i.e. if its windy they blow about alot
