Why Do You Need Custom Window Blinds?
The
choice and variety of readymade blinds that are available in regular
supermarkets and home decoration shops can actually baffle many of those who
are looking for them. The companies
which manufacture them claim that they can fit any type of standard windows and
easy to mount. These are also
comparatively low priced than the tailor made window blinds. However there are several advantages for
opting for custom made blinds even though they may cost you slightly more.
Although
readymade blinds are available over the counter, custom window treatments also can be made
without much delay these days due to latest equipments. Since custom made window blinds are produced
after taking exact measurements, they fit perfectly and look much more elegant
than the readymade ones. You can also
use exotic materials in custom made blinds.
In
case you are taking measurements of your window for getting the blinds custom
made, it is important to take great care in getting precise width and
height. A standard tape measure can be
used for taking measurements. Even if
there are some variations in measurements of length, this can be adjusted, but
width measurements should be exact as it cannot be rectified later.
Any
readymade roller blinds can serve the
purpose of blocking harsh sunlight and blocking the view from outside. However
being longer or shorter these can easily sully
the look of the window. Having your window blinds made to measure can
remove these problems and make them fit perfectly with the frame of the
window.
The
sizes, types, colors and texture available in readymade blinds are usually
limited. For Custom made blinds, there
are no such limitations and you can select the fabric materials according to
your imagination and interior theme.
Custom
made blinds appear to be more energy efficient too. This is because, the readymade blinds often
does not fit perfectly to the window and trap air between the window and the
blinds, which can lead to heat loss, especially during winter. Custom made blinds, on the other hand, fit
perfectly with the window which increases the effect of insulation. This would save you energy as well as energy
charges.
Due
to their perfect fitting, custom made blinds operate smoothly without any
effort. Readymade blinds are often
clumsy to operate especially when there is a problem with fitting.
If
you are willing to spend a little more to make your house presentable and
interiors look elegant, it would be better to opt for custom made window
blinds.
