Have you ever bought clothes that are supposed to be one size fits all and found that they actually fit? Thought not!
It doesn’t matter what it is, it’s never quite right, is it? They should actually be called one size fits nothing.
The same is true for universal blinds. One-size blinds can cause many problems like letting in too much light. The only way to get the best fit is to choose made-to-measure blinds instead.
In this blog, you’ll discover why one-size doesn’t work, and if made-to-measure blinds are really worth it.
Why You Shouldn’t Pick One Size Fits All Blinds
-
Windows Are Not One Size – It doesn’t matter what they claim, a one size fits all blind will not fit properly. This is because windows come in all shapes and sizes.
-
More Expensive – Badly fitting blinds create gaps where sunlight can seep through. This prevents the blind from offering UV protection to your soft furnishings and carpets resulting in severe sun damage over time.
-
Higher Energy Bills – If you’ve got gaps then it’s not just the sunlight coming in that you need to worry about, it’s the heat escaping through the gaps too. This could result in higher energy bills.
-
Less Choice – Universal binds don’t offer as much choice.
Benefits Of Made To Measure Blinds
-
Better Fit – Made-to-measure blinds are designed to fit your space perfectly so they’ll not only look great, but they’ll work perfectly too.
-
Cost Effective – You might think that made-to-measure blinds are more expensive. But over time you’ll actually save money because they last longer.
-
Lower Energy Bills – Gaps caused by badly fitting blinds let out lots of heat during the winter months. Windows on average let out at least 18% of the heat in your home. Made-to-measure blinds are designed to retain heat and eliminate draughts. A quality blind will save you money on your energy bills.
- Quality – Made-to-measure blinds come with a quality guarantee. The Scottish Shutter Company offers a 5-year guarantee on all of our shutters and blinds.
- Easy To Motorise – A made-to-measure blind is customisable so adding a motor to control opening and closing couldn’t be easier. This is especially useful if you have particularly tall windows or struggle to operate corded blinds.
- More Choice – Made-to-measure blinds are completely bespoke, so you have a much better choice of styles and functions to suit you and your home perfectly.
