Ready Made Blinds For Less

Ready Made blinds are the best option if you want stylish window blinds at low discount prices.

With the ready made blinds, you have many styles, colours and materials to select from, whether you’re looking for Venetian blinds or plain roller blinds.

Available for most standard size windows, ready made offers you great value and plenty of sizes from which to choose.

You’ll find online manufacturers who offer a range of ready made roller blinds in a wide variety of soft fabrics, as well as metal, wood and faux wood Venetian blinds.

An added value with ready made roller blinds is that even if your window is not a standard width, you may be able to cut them down to fit correctly and avoid the additional cost of custom or made to measure window blinds.

Another advantage of ordering ready made blinds online, in addition to great, low prices, is that most can be delivered within a couple of days.

Starting at only £22.00, ready made roller blinds are generally available in standard widths of 90, 120 and 175 centimeters, with a 180 centimeter drop length. The roller blinds are delivered to your home complete with all hardware required to install; screws, brackets and fitting instructions.

In order to measure your windows properly for ready made blinds, first decide whether you want to order exact or recess window mount blinds.

This determines whether your blind will be fit inside the recess of your window or hang on the outside (actually meaning on the interior wall of your room, above or beside the top of your window recess).

Follow these three simple steps to measure correctly for recess or inside mount roller blinds:

1. Measure the width of your window recess from one side to the other in three places as shown in the diagram. Write down the shortest measurement, which is what your online retailer will use to determine the width of your blind.
2. Next, measure your window blind’s required drop by measuring from the top of the window recess to the window sill in three places as shown in the diagram. Write down the shortest measurement, which is what your online retailer will use to determine the width of your blind.
3. Go online to the web site of the window blind retailer you wish to order from, choose the style of inside or recess mount blind you desire and enter your measurements. If you are unsure how to enter the measurements, just email or phone your retailer for assistance.

Follow these three simple steps to measure correctly for outside mount roller blinds:

1. Measure the precise width you want your outside mount blind to be and write it down. Be sure to specify a width that covers your window recess with the desired amount of horizontal overlap you want.
2. Next, measure the precise drop you want your outside mount blind to have and write it down. Be sure to specify a drop that covers your window recess with the desired amount of vertical overlap you want.
3. Go online to the web site of the window blind retailer you wish to order from, choose the style of outside mount blind you desire and enter your measurements. If you are unsure how to enter the measurements, just email or phone your retailer for assistance.

In most cases, if you are ordering ready made roller blinds, you’ll want to allow for fittings on both ends of the blind, since there is no headrail. Thus, the fabric will be approximately 2.8cm less for an outside mount blind or approximately 3.3cm less with a recess mount blind.

Check with your retailer to be sure they will make this adjustment for you, which most reputable online blinds retailers do!
