So you’ve decided upon vinyl mini-blinds, and you want to pick the blinds that suit your windows. From here, winnowing down your choice of colour and style will be quite simple.

But before you get that far there is something that you must to pay close attention to; and that is, the measurements for your vinyl mini blinds.

Shopping for Vinyl Mini Blinds — Measure Twice!

It sounds easy, but this is where your blind expereince can all quite simply go wrong. The old maxim of “measure twice, cut once” is certainly true in this case.

Most manufacturers aren’t sympathetic to the return of blinds which have been damaged during the fitting process, by a frustrated owner who measured incorrectly.

If your measurements are out by only the smallest of fractions, you’ll undoubtedly run into problems.

So don’t get carried away with the excitement of purchasing your new vinyl mini blinds, spend a bit of time doing some basic homework before you push that ‘pay now’ button and you’ll be thankful.

Measuring Hints

There are various methods to measure your windows for blinds, but there is only one right way. Friends and family will likely offer their help and opinions, and there is no lack of advice available in websites and books.

One important tip (I learned this through my errors which I paid for in several ways), is to ignore what you think you know, and go to the suppliers website and find out what they have to say.

Use their measuring suggestions (available on most websites). If it’s their blinds you are hoping to fit, then only take their advice.

By using the maker’s guidelines, you can be sure that you’ll be giving the supplier or the online store the specific information they need, to send you the vinyl mini blinds that will fit your windows like a glove.
