But before you head on out to the store, there is something important to know — the measurements for your blinds.

Mini Blind Shopping — Measure Twice!

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

Most mini-blind manufacturers won’t be sympathetic to returning blinds that have been damaged during the hanging process, by someone who didn’t measure properly.

If your numbers are off by only a small amount, you will probably encounter problems.

So don’t get carried away with the thrill of getting your new vinyl mini blinds, take a little time with your homework before you click that ‘buy now’ button and you will be rewarded.

Measuring Tips

There are various ways to measure your windows for mini-blinds, but there’s only one proper way. Friends and family will probably offer their help and opinions, and there is no shortage of advice available in books and magazines.

One valuable hint (I learned this through my mistakes which I paid for both financially and emotionally), is to ignore what you think you know, and go directly to the suppliers website and check out what they have posted.

Use the manufacturer’s 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 online or offline store the exact information they need, to send you the vinyl mini blinds that will fit your windows like a glove.
