So now you have decided that you need vinyl mini blinds for your windows, all you have to do is pick the blinds that you like the most. The next part is fun — choosing the style and color you want!
But before you get that far there is something that you need to pay close attention to; and that is, the measurements for your vinyl mini blinds.
Blind Shopping — Measure Twice!
It sounds straightforward, but this is where it can all go wrong. The old adage of “measure twice, cut once” is certainly true in this case.Most mini-blind manufacturers will not be sympathetic to returning blinds that have been mangled during the hanging process, by a frustrated owner who got the measurements wrong.
If your measurements are off by only the tiniest of fractions, you’ll run into problems.
So don’t get too carried away with the excitement of purchasing your new vinyl mini blinds, take a little time doing some basic homework before you press that ‘buy now’ button and you will be rewarded.
Measuring Tips
There are various methods to measure your windows for vinyl blinds, but there is only one correct way. Friends and family will likely offer their help and opinions, and there is no shortage of advice available in ‘house and home’ magazines.
One valuable hint (I learned this through my mistakes which I paid for in several ways), is to ignore advice from others, and go directly to the suppliers website and read what they have posted.
Use their measurement guides (available on most websites). The manufacturer knows their own blinds best; follow their guidelines.
This way you’ll be sure that you’ll be giving the brick-and-mortar or online store the specific information they need, to send you the vinyl mini blinds that will fit your windows perfectly.
