3 Things You Have to do Before Purchasing Window Blinds for Your House

Posted by Patel Blinds on April 14th, 2017

Gone are the days of traditional embroidered heavy curtains and draperies. Nowadays, every element of interior decoration is sleek and easy to maintain. And hence, new-age window blinds have replaced the old curtains and draperies. So, if you still have not replaced those curtains with blinds, then it is high time you do so. If you take some time out and search online, you will see that there are multiple online window treatments manufacturing companies, that not only provide options in terms of designs, but also in terms of materials. Take your pick after going through the features of each.

But before you invest on a few sets of blinds for your living space, patio, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, there are a few things which you must do. Wondering what? Well, I have jotted them down for you. Take a look.

• Take measurements – The first thing which you have to do is take proper measurements. You can either ask for professional help, but if you have a metal tape, I would suggest that you do it yourself. There are three steps you need to follow for measuring Blinds Eltham. Remember that misfit blinds can ruin the entire look of your house, as well as reduce the functionalities. So these are the three kinds of measurements which you have to take.

i) Recess measurement: There are two parts of recess measurement – recess width and recess drop. You have to take three measurements for both and consider the smallest ones. This is known as recess measurements.

ii) Exact Blind measurement: Here also, there are two parts – exact blind width and exact blind drop. Firstly, you have to decide how much you want to overlap the recess. I would suggest you keep at least 3 inches gaps on either side so that light cannot penetrate. The overall measurement including the width is known as the exact blind width. You have to follow the same rule for measuring exact blind drop as well.

 iii) Cloth measurement: Remember that the full width of the Blinds Tullamarine is more than the width of just the cloth. See online diagrams to understand this in details. Also, measure the overall drop and let your manufacturer know about this.

• Get quotes – The second thing you must do is compare the prices of the Roman, Venetian or Blinds Heidelberg. You should collect the quotes from your shortlisted companies and then decide accordingly. But then, don’t compromise on quality for cost.

• Compare customer feedbacks – The third essential thing which you must do is comparing customer feedbacks. If you visit the websites, you will notice a “customer feedback” section on each of them. Read the reviews so that you get to understand the satisfaction level of the customers with their products and services.

These are the three things which you should not forget doing before purchasing window treatments for your house. So, why delay? Gear up and finish these tasks before you zero down on a company and ask them to deliver the products at your doorstep. If you ask me, then I would suggest that you ask for professional help for installing them for you. Let the Roman, vertical, Venetian or Roller Blinds Doncaster deck up your place like never before.
