Made to measure perfect Fit Venetian Blinds have been a revolution in the window blind industry that looks fantastic but is also incredibly easy to measure and fit.
How to measure up for perfect fit venetian blinds? It can be a little daunting when measuring your windows for your blinds, as you want to get them right first time. We measure and install these blinds in our local area so know first hand exactly how to measure and what to look out for.
The best practice is to measure the window in 3 different places, both horizontally and vertically, as windows can vary slightly in different places. Once you have done this, select the smallest measurement so you can be certain your blinds will definitely fit. We always tell you to select the smallest measurement as this will make fitting much easier when you come to install them. These blinds can be a forgiving product when measuring, as you have a 25mm overlap where the frame wraps around your UPVC, this means you have a little bit of wiggle room for error.
When measuring the simplest and best method is to measure the glass. Do not worry about your bead being compressible or whether it moves, just measure what physical glass you can see.
It is important to check for any obstructions like window handles, window vents or even skirting boards. The easiest method to check these won't be an obstruction, is to measure the distance from the obstruction to the glass. If you have a 25mm clearance then the frame will not interfere and will fit perfectly.
The last thing to check is your bead depth, to check what bracket size you will need. The easiest method is to use a tape or ruler. Place this on the glass and measure out, to the furthest edge of the window frame. Basically, how far does the frame protrude out from the glass. Brackets come in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm, 30mm and 38mm. If you are in-between sizes, you will need to round up and not down.

How to Fit perfect fit venetian blinds?
Installing your made to measure perfect fit Venetian blinds is very simple and after you have done your first blind, any further blinds will be very quick to install. From opening the box everything is done for you apart from adding the side pieces of frame to your blind. Unravel the top and bottom and simply slot your two side pieces of frame to the top and bottom. Once you have attached the sides, the blind will automatically tension itself.
Offer it up to the window to check everything looks correct. When offering it to the window, pencil mark when there are slotted holes on the inside of the frame; this is where your brackets are going to be installed. Remove the blind from the window and you are ready to install your brackets. A good tip here is to use fairy liquid, this allows the brackets to slide into the seal a little easier if you are struggling. Once all the brackets are installed, simply line up the brackets with the slotted holes on the side of the frame and clip the blind in.

Operation & Larger Sizes
The safety of blinds, is now enforced by law in the UK. All blinds, at blinds superstore, are child safe and we select the safest option as standard. All blinds, up to 1312 mm, will come tensioned, meaning your blind is operated via a handle on the bottom bar. Having a tensioned blind, creates a modern look with no cords or strings left in the window and is a great child safety feature.
Sometimes, windows go over the tensioned size of 1312 mm. On these occasions, we have a special range, the
luxury perfect fit venetian range. This range is specially designed to go to much larger sizes, up to 1900 millimetres wide. Having a larger product, means they cannot be tensioned, so are operated by traditional cords. Although they are operated with cords, we still make the blind as child safe as possible. You will receive child safety warning tags, safety fixings, which attach to the wall and all cords will have safety connectors which are designed to snap.
