Luxury Blinds: Is it worth investing?

When it comes to searching for a shading solution there’s always the urge to seek out the cheapest option possible. People search online for DIY blinds and store-bought window coverings. However, luxury blinds can offer a long-term solution to shading your home in comparison to cheaper blinds. A luxury blind is a made-to-measure blind crafted and installed by a specialist.

What’s the difference between cheap blinds and Luxury Blinds?

Cheap blinds can serve as a temporary solution for standard rectangular windows however you do get what you pay for. So, standard blind suppliers may make their blinds with lower quality fabric to bring their prices down. Therefore, they might not last long in your home or look high-quality. On the other hand, our blinds are guaranteed for five years after your purchase and look new for many years afterwards. Therefore, if you have to keep replacing your cheap blinds it might not be the most cost-effective option after all.

Additionally, there may be visible excess strings and cords coming off the fabric of cheaper blinds that look unappealing. Whereas the cords in our luxury blinds are hidden within the fabric, providing a more sleek appearance.

When attempting a quick DIY fix,  you might even consider Perfect Fit blinds. However, the bulky frame blocks out a lot of your glazing, view and natural light. Perfect Fit frames are only (sometimes) a suitable fit for standard rectangular windows or the sides of a conservatory. Even though doors are also rectangular, we would not recommend installing Perfect Fit on those either. If they are bi-fold door blinds or sliding door blinds, then the Perfect Fit frame may interfere with the mechanism.

  The stand-out feature of luxury blinds, is the next level of service we provide before, during and even after we install your blinds. You have the opportunity to discuss what you would like and have an experienced advisor recommend an option that best suits you. Then after we install your blinds to fit your window properly and operate with ease, it’s a product that’s worth investing in for the years of use you’ll get.
