Five Reasons to Choose Custom Blinds over Ready-Made

If you’re in the market for new window coverings for your home, you may be debating whether or not to pick up a set of ready-made blinds from your local department store or choose blinds that are custom-made to fit your space and personal style. While the former might seem cheap, quick and easy, it may cost you more in the long-run. Read the five reasons why Lux Blinds say custom blinds are the best choice for your Vancouver home.

1. Perfect Fit

Custom-made blinds are made-to-measure to fit your window exactly. Whatever the size or shape may be, custom-made blinds can be made to fit any style or size window. While ready-made blinds are not always guaranteed to fit your window properly, may not correctly block out the sunlight and puts your home’s privacy at risk.

2. Great Selection of Styles and Finishes

Unlike ready-made blinds, which typically come in a limited number of styles and colours, custom blinds offer you unlimited choices. Lux Blinds has a wide array of colours, textures and materials for your blinds. You’ll also be able to choose whether or not you want your blinds mounted on the inside or the outside of your window frames, which side you would like the controls on and various finishing touches.

When you choose Lux Blinds for your Vancouver home, you can rest assured that you are purchasing a high-quality product that’s made to last. Only top-quality fabrics and components are used in the manufacturing, assuring you of a finished product that will last for years. On the other hand, if you head to a local homeware store for ready-made blinds, you may end up with a low-quality, mass-produced products that won’t stand the test of time. Colours that fade and slats that warp, break or fall off are common complaints with the ready-made blinds.

4. Professional Installation

If you choose to install ready-made blinds yourself, there’s always a chance that you’ll make a mistake or the end result will leave something to be desired. People often spend a lot of time trying to install ready-made blinds and become impatient with it leaving them with an undesired effect. Leave the installation to the professionals at Lux Blinds.

5. Value for Your Money
