So you’ve decided upon vinyl mini-blinds, and you want to select the blinds that suit your home. From here, winnowing down your choice of color and style will be fairly simple.
But before you head out shopping, there’s something important to know — the measurements for your blinds.
Shopping for Vinyl Mini Blinds — Measure Twice!
It sounds uncomplicated, but this is where your blind expereince can all go wrong. The old proverb of “measure twice, cut once” is quite true in this case.
Most mini-blind manufacturers aren’t sympathetic to the return of blinds which have been mangled during the hanging process, by someone who got the measurements wrong.
If your numbers are out by only the smallest of fractions, you will encounter problems.
So don’t get too carried away with the thrill of purchasing your new vinyl mini blinds, take a bit of time with your measuring homework before you press that ‘pay now’ button and you will be rewarded.
Measuring Hints
There are various ways to measure your windows for vinyl mini-blinds, but there’s only one proper way. Friends and family will offer their help and opinions, and there is no scarcity of advice available in magazines and websites.
One invaluable hint (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 to the suppliers website and check out what they have posted.
Use the manufacturer’s measuring suggestions (available on most websites). The manufacturer knows their own blinds best; follow their guidelines for measuring.
By using the maker’s guidelines, you can be sure that you will be giving the store the precise information they need, to send you the vinyl mini blinds that will fit your windows like a glove.
