How far will you go to install perfect fit blinds?

Today 2 of my fitters drove all the way to wales to measure a conservatory for perfect fit roof blinds. A long way to go but as the perfect fit roof system is offered by so few companies and it was a large order it was worth the trip.
And that is what decides whether we can help you with installing perfect fit blinds. We have been fitting in most of the home counties since the launch of perfect fit blinds 2 years ago but the journey has to be worth the trip.
For the standard perfect fit blinds many people simply order online and we deliver ready to fit but the roof system needs professional measuring and fitting - no exceptions.
I also had an enquiry from someone in Ireland wanting perfect fit blinds. I may have to hunt for some referral partners.

Frame Colours Available for Perfect Fit Blinds

Perfect Fit Blind Frames are currently available in three colours. The standard in white. This will cover the vast majority of installations to both windows and conservatories. However for installations where the frames are brown there is a brown option.
This shade of brown is very dark and usually matches very well with the brown window frames.
The third perfect fit blind frame colour is grey and has been spcifically developed for fitting blinds to velux windows. The shade matches the hardware that comes with velux windows.
The videos on the info page of my perfect fit blinds website show the white and brown options. After 2 years I have still not installed one in grey. All my customers with velux windows prefer the white. I'm sure we'll do one soon. I'll post a picture when I do.

Showcase '08 showing Perfect Fit Blinds

This trade show will be showcasing perfect fit blinds on a number of stands. I will be attending both days and will write here about the latest developements. The show is organised by the BBSA (British Blinds and Shutters Association) of which I am a member.

I had a call from a customer on monday who had been concerned about the perfect fit roof system - also called Perfect Fit International. Apparently a number of blind companies are finding it a challenge to work with.

I have found it to be very straightforward and all our perfect fit installations have gone well. The thing about perfect fit blinds for the roof is that there is a lot of detail in the measuring and if you get that wrong you are in trouble. We fitted a conservatory in Windsor today that took more than 2 hours to measure and about an hour to fit.

I do not think anyone can just turn up and do a conservatory roof as a one off without good training and preparation.

Perfect roof blinds are superb and completely superior to any other system I have found.

New Perfect Fit Roller Blinds coming in february

I have had confirmation that the new Perfect Fit Roller Blind system is coming in february.
This a very exciting addition to the range because of the huge range of roller fabrics that can be mounted on the system.
For velux windows the blackout fabrics will be excellent for bedrooms.
I am visiting the BBSA trade show in february and hope to have the full details then. Maybe even a few pictures.
The expanding of the system to include roller blinds really completes the perfect fit blinds range perfectly (sorry!).
We will be offering an initial range of 30 fabrics online immediatly and then expand the range as we find out what our customers want
