My Home Store Blackout Roller Blinds Trimmable Easy Fit UV-Resistant Thermal Blind (Black, 180 x 165 cm)

If you are looking for a top quality 240cm blind then look no further. I’ve had other 240cm blinds and the first thing that stuck me when I picked up the box was the weight. 240cm blinds are big and heavy but these blinds are reassuringly heavy. For a start the aluminium pole is seriously strong. It’s a high grade thick extrusion and there isn’t any flex in it and when the blind is fitted the tube is laser beam straight. It took me under ten minutes to fit the blind for my most particular customer (ME.)I would think someone with no previous experience of DIY would have the blind fitted in no time because the instructions are clear and you should be able to fit the blind just by looking at the drawings. I paid £154 for the blind in my bedroom and it’s nowhere near as good as this blind. I just hope and pray this company goes from strength to strength and are still trading when I decide to change the blinds in the future. Seriously, these blinds are the best high quality blinds I’ve ever seen and ever fitted.Five star productFive star companyFive star value for moneyFive star delivery.

Does the job perfectly. Easy to put up

The blind arrived in a long thin parcel with all the necessary parts. The instructions for fitting were not as helpful as they could have been: for example, it's absolutely key that the brackets that hold it up are the right distance apart. This distance is not the nominal width of the blind (in my case 150cm) but something else, but there is no advice or a template to help with this. Similarly there is a degree of adjustment on the brackets, since the screws go through slots and not holes, but there is no advice about the best way of adjusting them. Finally, in principle one can cut the blind to length but there are absolutely no instructions or advice about how to do this, so I simply didn't do it.Having said all that, I did get the blind up without help, using the usual tools, and it is a very effective blackout. The raising and lowering mechanism works well, the brackets are adequate (but not super-strong, being entirely made of plastic) and I am hoping it will have a long and useful life.

The blinds themselves are great, although different fittings from the photos,Took me 4 hours I gave up multiple times just couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t work right.Nearly broke my neck 10 times up and down the ladder coz they kept falling off,Cried 5 times,Then realised the instructions were wrong!! The picture showing you the items in the pack names the pin side bracket as the control side and vice versa,Once I figured that out it was plain sailing,Unfortunately there was a fatality involved as I killed my husband as he didn’t do it for me in the first place, This wouldn’t have happened if the instructions were right….So now I don’t need the blinds as they won’t fit the barred windows in prison ….

Easy installation, value for money.

I have a really small window that looks out onto a street lamp. This blind was easy to cut to size and install and blocks out the light perfectly. I'm very happy with it.

The issues with this are all to do with the mounting brackets.1. The ones supplied are not the ones pictured.2. The instructions mix up which bracket accepts with spindle.3. The instructions describe a sprung spindle pin the one supplied is fixed.4. Would only recommend fixing the brackets top mounted to suspend the blind and not face mounted to project from the door. Face mounting it looks very easily that the spindle will dismount the bracket causing frustration and appears that it will restrict you to having the control cord on the right hand side.

Instructors and images are not same as instructors hard to figure out how to mount
