It can feel tempting to pop into your nearest home furnishing store and pluck some ready-made blinds off the shelf. Standard fitting is standard fitting, isn’t it? However, all homes are different and there are many, many types of standard fitting. When you’re working with blinds, you simply need to be out by a millimetre or two and it will definitely end in tears.
Precision Planning
It’s hard to quantify the difference it makes to life when made-to-measure blinds simply slot into the space for which they were made and they’re ready to roll.
If you’ve ever giving ready-made blinds a whirl and taken them home only to find that you’re out by a tiny amount, then you’ll know only too well the joy that comes with the made-to-measure option. It means that you don’t have to decide if you’re going to try and shave a millimetre or two off the end of ready-mades that are too big; or if you’re going to try and find a sliver of something to make up the millimetre with a too-short option.
Ready-mades suddenly don’t feel like a time-saving option after all…
An Edge-To-Edge Solution
Getting blinds that fit your window fitting exactly is a good start; however, with blinds, it’s actually an essential part of their function.
Made-to-measure blinds will not only perfectly fill their fitting and guarantee easy installation, but they’re also tailor-made to keep the light out. Whether you’re opting for a night-time option to keep a full moon or a local street light away from slumbering eyes or you’re trying to throw a little shade on the matter, the right fit is essential.
Keeping It All In
We’re all so much more aware of energy efficiency than ever before. Blinds that fill the gap properly are essential for keeping the heat in your home and keeping draughts out. Made to measure blinds in Essex will be measured to find the exact size. When produced, these blinds will ensure that wasted energy in heating isn’t lost around the edges of your windows. It may not feel like an issue but consider that across all the windows in your home and the loss can be considerable.
It’s not just about sustainability. Working as hard as possible to heat our homes as efficiently as we can will make a real difference to our energy bills as prices soar.
Quality Product
When you opt for made-to-measure blinds, you’re locking in quality. No matter how gentle we are, blinds still get quite a bit of use as they’re pulled up and down. Knowing that you can count on a robust product that won’t break is reassuring. Ready-made blinds are usually mass produced and don’t offer the resilience of made-to-measures.
Personal Touch
We spend much of our time in our homes and it’s lovely to be surrounded by things that make us happy. When you choose made-to-measure blinds, you can tailor their style; matching the colour and style of fabric with the lining for the ultimate in-home décor.
