The
Truth About Discount &
Custom Made Blinds
When shopping for window blinds you will find
several different types and styles of window
blinds, each with different prices.
The information provided below should
help clear away some of the confusion you may
have about discount and custom made blinds so
that you can choose the right blinds to set the
right tone for the rooms throughout your home.
Discount
Window Blinds vs. Custom made Blinds:
Possibly the biggest misconception about “Grab
and Go” blinds is that they are cheaply made.
The truth is ready made, pre-cut, or
grab and go blinds is that they have been
produced to fit standard size windows so that
you can purchase off the self.
Many times this type of blind comes with
a 1 or 2 year warranty.
However, because these blinds are
manufactured to fit stand size windows it is
important to understand that the majority of
all windows are not the same size.
What this means is that ready-made
blinds are created to fit windows of a certain range of
sizes, and therefore they may or may not fit
the windows precisely.
The width of the blinds will often be
narrower so that they can accommodate a wide
rang of window widths.
In addition, the length of the blinds
will usually be longer also so that they can
accommodate a range of different lengths.
Many times with ready-made blinds they
will have to be shortened.
You can find ready-made or grab and go
blinds at most discount chains, department
stores, and home improvement centers carry grab
and go blinds.
When shopping for custom made blinds you may also
hear them referred to as custom ordered blinds
or designer made blinds.
These blinds have the benefit of being
made to fit each individual window of your
home, which is why they are called “custom
made.” Custom
made blinds do cost considerably more than
ready-made or grab and go blinds, but they will
fit each window to the nearest 1/8" for
both the width as well as the length.
Custom made blinds are available from
such well-known companies as Hunter Douglas,
Levolor, Graber, and Bali.
In addition, many custom made blinds
come with long warranties, many for as long as
you own the home.
You can find and purchase custom made
blinds through several retailers through
quality Internet companies.
