Does the frame come with the blind

I was asked today if the frame comes with the blind.

The blinds come in a frame and is fitted as a complete unit. You can see a perfect fit blind being fitted at our main blinds website.

This is true for all the pleated, venetian and roller blind versions of the product.

I am also always asked about the no drilling thing. These blinds really are simple clip in units. There is no drilling - it is a fantastic innovation. When you want to clean the window or the blind you simply unclip it and you have full access to both.

As I wrote the other day, there are now some alternative products arriving to the market but this is the real deal. To quote Ronson " It does what it says on the tin "

Perfect fit frames - beware of cheap imitations

I had a customer come into our showroom today to order their perfect fit blinds. Some blackout nova snow blinds for a hot conservatory.

They had driven halfway round the M25 to look at our products and ensure they were suitable for their windows. We had already "talked" by email and on the phone a few times as the windows they had were slightly different from the normal types.

The reason for the long journey is that the customer had received frame samples from another company saying they did perfect fit blinds but the frame was different and wasn't compatible with the specification of the patented perfect fit blind system.

Now I have known for a while there was an alternative out there as other customers had told me but what it is like I have no idea. I haven't been able to see it as yet. You need to make sure you are ordering the patented perfect fit blind system that we use.

We have produced a range of videos and information pages including this blog to help customers select and choose the correct blinds. If you take the specification details that we have in our information pages and order a substandard system from elsewhere the blinds will not work. You will of course have paid a bit less but at what cost in terms of mis-measured ill-fitting blinds.

I have studiously not made this blog a big sales pitch for my companies http://www.perfect-fit-blinds.com/ and http://www.howardsblinds.co.uk/ up to now because a new product needs a lot of backup information in the first few years. But I want you to know that not all perfect fit blinds are perfect fit blinds. Another national blind company has taken the phrase "perfect fit blinds" to describe their complete range of window blinds thus further confusing the market.

So to summarise.

• We were there at the beginning of the product launch November 2005.
• We have personally fitted more perfect fit blinds in the UK than anyone else.
• We are one of very few 5 star accredited louvolite manufacturers
• We only sell the fully guaranteed original perfect fit blind system
• We receive leads internationally for these blinds and the perfect fit roof blind system.
• We have a real phone number 01344 452485 and showroom. Call us.

I hope you will permit this slightly biased entry just to clear up the point that not all perfect fit blinds are the authentic and patented system.

I will return to just product info and updates from tomorrow.

perfect fit roof blinds with window opening

I often get asked how to overcome the problem of fitting blinds to a conservtory roof where there is an opening section.

We fitted a conservatory roof last week that had a motorised opener and we sorted this out by fitting one blind just below the motor and another just above. The end look was very tidy.

There is a photo on this page - click link below

We can do the same thing if your window openers are manual control with a crank.

Having spent a year fitting perfect fit roof blinds now we have only come accross one where they were not suitable. We simply installed our standard conservatory roof blinds in this case.

We offer a fitting service to most of the south east of the country but cannot go futher at present. We can hardly keep up with the demand in our area.

New video showing perfect fit roof blinds

We have just put a new video on you tube showing how to fit a perfect fit roof blind.
The video also shows how to take one down. This is very useful when you want to clean the conservatory roof or indeed the blind itself.

The one in the video is quite small. You would normally need 2 people to take down this type of perfect fit blind.

At the end of the video there is a short clip showing an unusual shaped roof blind with an obtuse angle. We rarely come across these but it shows how we overcome the problem of not having a right angle to work with.

We are very busy with these perfect fit roof blinds because summer has finally arrived. Hardly anyone is ordering the standard roof blinds as the benefits of perfect fit are so good.
