Custom vs Cut Down & Ready Made Blinds
Don't be fooled by bulk imported ready made cut downs, which are offered today as “Custom Blinds” direct from either a chain store or the internet. Most of these blinds use cheap components which will warp, discolor and eventually fall apart before your very eyes! when you see claims of 40-60% off the price of custom made blinds" be warned. These will either be what we call, "ready-made cut-down blinds. Or the seller is working on very high margins that would have to be discounted by 40-60% to be competitive in our market.
Numerous times we've spoken to home owners who were regrettably sucked into the cleaver television, newspaper adverts and mail drops making these claims and have been left greatly disappointed. Many people are uninformed about the differences between custom and ready made blinds so they pop into a big box store to get a bargain. The product either cannot stand up to daily wear and tear so it eventually breaks, or the colors fade leaving them with washed out blinds that wouldn't impress their guests let alone the neighbors dog!
Buying online is also extremely popular these days. Some online 'custom blind' stores simply request your measurements and they'll ship your blinds to right to your front doorstep. Sounds easy, however there are many problems with shopping like this. First, you must understand exactly what sort of blinds will suit or fit the type of window you wish to cover. Not all blinds work with all window frames. Buying the wrong type or wrong size blind can end up being a costly mistake. What happens next if you end up with a faulty blind? I can guarantee you won't have anyone knocking on your door to fix it. Chances are you'll have to pack it up and courier it back to the seller to have it repaired... at your cost of course. Choosing the wrong type of blind to suit your room is another common error made online. Personal taste is one thing to consider but how the blind will function is another. You may like the idea of having a nice Venetian blind in your bedroom. After buying one online you discover that it doesn't stop the street lights outside from shining in from between the blades and sides of the blind. Plus the colour looks totally different than what you saw on your computer screen??? This is not something the seller will amend for you! It really is worth having a consultation with an interior design expert to help you make a sound decision before you invest.
