So you’ve decided on vinyl mini-blinds, and you want to pick the blinds that suit your home. The next part is enjoyable — choosing the style and color you want adorning your windows!
But before you start shopping there is one thing that you need to pay close attention to; that is, the measurements for your vinyl mini blinds.
Shopping for Vinyl Mini Blinds — Measure Twice!
It sounds uncomplicated, but this is where it can all go wrong. The old saying of “measure twice, cut once” is certainly true here.
Most manufacturers won’t be sympathetic to returning blinds which have been dented during the fitting process, by someone who got the measurements wrong.
If your measurements are out by only a tiny amount, you’ll undoubtedly encounter problems.
So don’t get too carried away with the excitement of purchasing your new vinyl mini blinds, take a little time with your measuring homework before you click that ‘buy now’ button and you will be rewarded.
Ways to Measure
There are various ways to measure your windows for vinyl blinds, but there is only one proper way. Friends and family will likely offer their help and opinions, and there is no shortage of advice available in books and magazines.
One invaluable tip (I learned this through my mistakes which I paid for in several ways), is to ignore all that you think you know, all the advice that is being given to you, and go directly to the suppliers website and take a look at what they have posted.
Use the manufacturer’s measuring guides (available on most websites). If it’s their blinds you are hoping to fit, then only take their advice.
By using the maker’s guidelines, you’ll be sure that you’ll be giving the online or offline store the specific information they need, to send you the vinyl mini blinds that will fit your windows like a glove.
