About 247 Blinds

A British made-to-measure blind company that manufactures to the sizes you supply and ships direct. There is no fitter and no home visit: you measure, they cut, you install.

That model is why made-to-measure here costs closer to off-the-shelf than a showroom order does, and also why responsibility for the measurement sits with you rather than with a surveyor.

The range

Roller, vertical, Venetian, wooden, Roman, blackout, day-and-night and perfect-fit blinds, with made-to-measure curtains through the sister brand. Blackout is a property of the fabric rather than a type of blind, so most styles offer a blackout version.

Perfect-fit blinds clip into a uPVC frame without drilling, which makes them the usual answer in rented flats and on doors where the glass needs to stay clear.

Measuring, which is the whole job

Decide first whether the blind sits inside the recess or outside it. Inside looks neat and lets a strip of light in at the edges; outside blocks more light and forgives an uneven recess.

Measure the width in three places — top, middle and bottom — and use the smallest figure for an inside fit. Almost no window is square, and the three-point measurement is what catches that. Order in millimetres, and do not subtract a clearance allowance yourself, because the maker has already allowed for it.

Custom-made goods are exempt from the usual right to change your mind on a distance sale, so a mis-measure is not returnable. Measure twice.

Safety, which is not optional

Corded blinds sold in the UK must meet the child-safety standard and arrive with a cleat or breakaway device. Fit it, use it, and keep cots and beds well away from a corded blind. Cordless and motorised options remove the hazard altogether.
