Hi All,
I am having trouble finding some blinds at a reasonable price. Everywhere I see they have blackout blinds, that only drop as far as 195cm.

Is there anywhere reasonable that offer 240cm drop? We have some wooden venetian blinds which don't do a great job at blocking out the light, they came from ikea and have a drop of about 260cm. But Ikea's blackout blinds (Tupplur) don't offer anything near this.

Window is about 147cm x 240cm. Then need the 2 side windows which are about 86cm x 240cm.

have a try there, they make them to custom sizes and are quite reasonable on price

Hi,

Did you get these blinds and were they any good? Am thinking of getting them myself. They are over 1/2 the price on a quote Ihave had from a local blind company.

Cheers

Hiya mate,

Yes I ordered the middle window size and it is fine. The only problem is if you have it fit inside the window the holders are a little bulky si there is about 1/2 inch of light getting through either side of the blind, which for me on a bright sunny day, gives a bar of light reflecting on the tv haha.

But its great quality and deffo recommended.

Hi,

Cheers for the response. I have the option of fitting it inside the window or above it on the wall If you know what I mean). Inside would look tidier and it is for a sliding door so there is a fair amount of timer frame so hopefully a 1/2 inch shouldnt be a problem.

A wee bit of experimenting is in order.

Cheers again
