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.
