Default Vertical blinds

Hi, has anyone used any of the online companies and diy fitted?

Just wondering about quality etc.

Thanks

Neil


I needed curved vertical blinds for a bay window.
Got the curved track made by the people that supply them to most blinds
manufacturers.
Got the louvres sewn by a local company.
Got the weights/ hangars from ebay.
Saved over 100 pounds.
They sting you for curved ones, and say "oooooh, they're custom made"
etc, then charge
a huge markup on the tracks.
For straight ones, argos are good, although the fabrics are limited.
Warning - the colours often look different for a finished blind than
small samples.
Choose you colours carefully !
All the best,
Simon.
