Blinds in Milton Keynes

So you have a nice house in Milton Keynes and you need to find and fit some new blinds. The first thing to do is measure up and for this all you will need are a tape measure, preferrably a metal one and a pen and paper.

Now is it an exact blind or recess blind that you want? Well let us explain what that means.
An exact fitting is one where the blind sits outside the recess (sink in the wall where the window is), these are easier to fit and you don't need to be quite as precise in yourmeasurements, probably the safest option and can also be better at cutting out more light from your window.

A recess blind fitting is where the blind is fit actually on the window fram itself, not outside the recess. These are slightly more difficult to fit and can let in a little bit more light than an exact fitting but they look better. So if you're concern is aesthetics and neatness, then we recommend a recess blind fitting. 
 
Right once you've made a desicion, you can start measuring. Do your measurements in centimetres (cm) and even go down to the nearest millimetre (tenth of a centimetre) for an accurate fitting. Be aware and take into account obstacles like tiles and window handles, make a note of where they are and think about how to fit with these in mind. If you are unsure, do a quick sketch or take a photo down to a blinds shop in Milton Keynes and ask the staff for guidance. Width is more important than drop when you are measuring for blinds, this i because you can easily adjust the length with the cord after it's fitted, whereas the width is fixed.

For a perfectly fitted blind and no worries about wasting your money and getting it wrong, seek a professional blind fitter. There are plenty of these in Milton Keynes and they can save you lots of hassle as it is there responsibility to assure a good blind fitting.
