Are the Blinds Covered Under a Warranty?
Yes, all our blinds come with a comprehensive warranty. We stand by the quality of our products and want you to feel confident when buying blinds from us. The limited warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship. However, be aware that this warranty does not extend to damages caused by improper installation, misuse, or normal wear and tear.
Can I Order the Vertical Blind Slats Only?
Absolutely. We offer the option to order just the vertical blind slats.
Do You Sell Electric Blinds?
Yes, we offer motorised blinds. They are an excellent option for hard-to-reach windows and add a touch of modern convenience to your home.
How Do I Clean My Blinds?
Cleaning your blinds depends on the material. Generally, a light dusting will keep your blinds looking pristine. For a more thorough cleaning, you can use a damp microfibre cloth. We recommend checking the care instructions for your specific blinds.
What Child Safety Procedures Do You Have in Place for Your Products?
We take child safety seriously. All our products comply with UK child safety regulations. Our blinds are designed with safety features, including cord cleats, chain-break connectors, and cordless operation options. Cord cleats allow cords to be nearly tied away and out of reach of children. Chain-break connections will cause the chain to break apart if extra pressure is applied. Cordless blinds are popular for children’s rooms as they eliminate the risk associated with cords altogether.
What Happens if My Blind Fabric Is Out of Stock?
Should your chosen fabric be out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible with alternatives or a timeline for when the blind fabric will be available.
Which Blind Would Be Most Suitable for a Bathroom?
Choosing the right blinds for a bathroom requires consideration of both practicality and aesthetics. Bathrooms often have high levels of humidity and fluctuating temperatures, meaning it's important to pick blinds that are water-resistant and durable. With this in mind, we recommend our faux wood blinds for your bathroom. These blinds mimic the aesthetic charm of natural wood while being completely resistant to moisture, making them both stylish and functional. Additionally, they are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring longevity despite challenging conditions. Every bathroom is unique, and our team is ready to offer personalised advice to find the perfect match for your needs.
Pricing and Payment FAQ
What Type of Payment Methods Do You Accept?
We accept a variety of payment methods for your convenience. These include credit and debit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.
