Custom Roller Blinds South End – Free Installation

Wait only if the builder still owes you window work. Frames themselves do not move enough to matter, but a sash swapped out on a deficiency list will change the opening and the blind will not fit. Get your list closed, then book the measure. Blinds are cut for your specific openings after that visit, so allow a few weeks between the two.

It happens to thin ones and to anything that has been rolled up wet. The bottom bar sits in a sewn or welded pocket, and if the fabric there is light or the pocket is loose the corners lift over a few years. A heavier cloth with a properly seated bar stays flat. Sun does the rest of the damage, since a fabric that has gone brittle at the hem will curl no matter what holds it.

On the underside of the bulkhead, usually, which puts the blind slightly forward of the glass and covers the whole opening. The alternative is inside the frame, and that works only if the bulkhead is not so deep that it puts the window in shadow and makes reaching the chain awkward. We hold a bracket up at the measure so you can see how far the fabric will sit off the glass before deciding.

In an owner occupied house, eight to ten years before anyone thinks about it. In a rental with new people every year, plan on half that, and the failure is nearly always physical damage rather than the fabric wearing out. The saving grace is that the fabric alone can be replaced on the same tube, so a damaged blind between tenants is a small job.
