So, what are the Do's of choosing window blinds?
1) Do Your Research
If you have an idea of how much you're willing to spend, the available styles, and where you're most likely going to be making your purchase, then you're already one step closer to finding a solution for your blind needs. The internet is one of the best tools you can use in your search for the perfect blinds. Not only will it save you heaps of time by eliminating travel costs, but it will allow you to find precisely what you’re looking for without having to look through which is a bonus if you're short on time (and who isn't?). You can also come to visit us at Sun Blinds, and we'll walk you through all our options and find out which one caters to your needs.
2) Look Up Reviews
It's always a good idea to look up reviews on the product you'd like to buy. Not only will it give you two views of what people thought, but in most cases, the bad stuff is often more memorable than the good so it can help you save face in case things don't work out quite right. You can also check out the homes of your friends who have gotten blinds before, and see what they have to say about those blinds. If you can come up with a list of trusted reviews from people who have bought the same product as you, then chances are your research is going to be cut out for you. In some cases, you might find that there were no reviews written about the product at all. Which is when you need to do your research.
3) Trust in the Pros
No matter how much faith you have in yourself, it's always a good idea to get someone who knows what they're doing to help. Whether it be buying the blinds for you or even measuring them for you, there's no harm in getting an expert opinion.
People who are looking for blinds can sometimes become lost in what they see, and while you think you know exactly what you want, it's always best to get an expert opinion on the product before you make the purchase. Which is where we come in. At Sun Blinds, we pride ourselves on our ability to make sure that your blind purchase is the right one. We take our time to measure everything, and will never recommend a product that we don't think best suits your needs, so you can always count on us to be able to provide you with the information you need.
And here are the Don’ts:
1) Don't Purchase Before You Have the Measurements
You'll find with blinds, that most companies will require you to measure your windows before purchasing. This is so they can send you the right-sized blind, and it means they don't have to deal with returns, which is why there are so many different types of window blinds. One type might be perfect for your living room, while it might fit in the bedroom but not the kitchen. So always make sure that you have all of your available measurements before making a purchase.
2) Don't Go Cheap
Cheap blinds are cheap for a reason. They're cheaply made, which means they won't last long, and because of the way they're made, you might find yourself constantly having to fix them. While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option, don't! Your home is your sanctuary, so make sure you get quality blinds that you can enjoy for years to come.
3) Don't Forget Your Warranty
While it might be tempting to cut costs wherever possible, make sure you check the warranty of what you're getting. Sometimes even cheap blinds are covered by warranties, but sometimes they aren't which means there's no point in buying them at all. At Sun Blinds, we pride ourselves on our customer service and warranties, so if you buy your blinds from us, you know that not only will they work but we'll be able to fix them as well.
