White Blinds

This is a replacement for our existing venetian blind which finally died. Being in front of the kitchen sink we wanted something that wouldn't be affected by the odd splash of water, would be easy to clean, and would contribute to security by denying a view to the inside. The measurements were exactly as quoted in the description meaning the blind fitted the opening perfectly in our case. It came with a plethora of fittings, both for hanging the blind and managing the chord mechanism for raising/lowering. I was lucky, the blind fitted the existing brackets so I did not use the supplied mounting brackets. However, they appeared simple to fit and I have no doubt they would support the blind well. The control chord and operating rod hang to the right and are simple to operate. Pulling slightly to the left or right with the chord releases/engages the lock mechanism to lower the blind. It can be locked at any height thus offering solid partial shade toward the top of the window (with the slats set to vertical) whilst leaving the rest unobstructed for a clear view. Rotating the rod changes the angle of the slats through a full 180 degrees from vertical through horizontal to vertical in the opposite plane. The paint finish is consistently good, and the components appear to be well made. The provision of a bracket to secure the chord to the outer edge of the window when the blind is open is a welcome addition. Two small brackets are also supplied that secure the bottom of the blind when fully down, presumably to stop the blind rattling in the wind should the window be open. Some mounting screws and plug fixings were supplied, but your final selection will be based on what you're fixing to. For us it's a well fitting, well made blind, pleasant in colour and finish, easy to operate and does its job well.

Spot on and easy to fit

It's not as easy to fit against a none smooth wall or on tiles as other reviews might indicate. I'm a long term diy'er and the fix were not smooth sailing. Number one DON'T use the rawlplugs and screws which come with the blinds if you can help it as poor quality and the screws are way too short (under a centimetre) to keep the brackets tight on the wall - and the weight of the blind plus the opening and closing action can result in brackets and blinds moving back off wall after a while. Also the closing 'lugs' at the top of the fixing bracket are stiff and unless you have a tight screw into wall then the blind won't easily fit and will be an issue with trying to close these. They look good up and I am ok with these as the action of the blind is fine, however I'm just putting up this up as a replacement as am selling house and exisiting blind got damaged. The blind is being left half up up and open and if I was opening and closing it daily I'm not sure how long this will last as is way flimsier than the older argos one it replaced.

Review: “These aluminum venetian blinds are excellent value for money. The champagne color is elegant and matches well with most decor - looks more expensive than it is. Installation was straightforward with clear instructions included. All the necessary brackets and fittings came in the box. The blinds fit my window (110 x 130cm) perfectly. The slats adjust smoothly and the mechanism for raising/lowering works well. They feel sturdy and well-made - not flimsy like some cheaper alternatives. Good light control - you can adjust the angle of the slats for privacy while still letting light in, or close them completely for full darkness. Easy to clean with a damp cloth. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for smart, functional blinds without spending a fortune.”

I received the blinds this morning and put them up right away – and I’m delighted! Even after four years in this house without a blind up at our kitchen window, it feels like it’s always been there. The champagne gold colour adds a lovely warm touch when the blind is fully closed, blocking out plenty of light – and glances from our neighbours. The blind is really easy to install – I had to drill six holes for the brackets and another two for the cord holder – and it seems to be holding in place very well. The quality is good, and you really can’t argue with the price!

Nice colour very easy to fit good prce

Looks good when closed and opened. Dimensions were accurate. Don't bend the blades or it's done for. Privacy is limited due to the holes in the blades. Looks great though so that's all I can ask for.

Look's great easy to fit. The slats are a bit flimsy but it dose the job.
