Choosing blinds & awnings in Milton Keynes & Bedford areas
If you are looking for blinds or awnings in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire then what are your options? Lets take a look and see if we can help you through the maze.
There are several types of window blinds and each has their own list of advantages or disadvantages. You will most likely be familiar with the options such as vertical, roller and venetian.
Lets’ tackle which type of blind you may wish to consider first. The most versatile and hence most popular is the common vertical blind. These allow you to draw the blind to the left, to the right or open them like a pair of curtains. You can also angle the slats to control privacy and light at the same time. By getting the angle right you can stop people seeing in and yet still allow light into your room.
The simplest blind is the humble roller blind. This is just basically a piece of fabric stuck to a barrel that you can wind up or down. You don’t really get to control any light though. Roller blinds are still very common and account for about 20% of all blinds sold.
Wooden venetians are increasing in popularity all the time and will probably soon overtake the common vertical. The disadvantage is that the slats are thicker than fabric, and if you want to draw the blind up you can end up with a large “stack” of wood at the top of your window.
When it comes to buying blinds by the way, you basically have three options. You can buy them online and fit yourself, but without the benefit of being able to choose properly or seek any advice. You can buy a mass produced poorer quality product that you fit and cut down yourself, or you go to a professional made to measure blind supplier like Yager Blinds or Blind Inspirations.
Some people I know have purchased blinds from the web, but they have never found the whole process easy. Often misunderstandings occur with measuring because there are things a professional will look out for. You have no recourse to an online supplier if your measurements are incorrect. Better to let a professional do it for you.
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.
