Easy Installation Of Mini Blinds
Mini blinds are an effective way to control glare and sun invasion, are easy to operate and provide optimum privacy while maintaining a pleasant appearance. To the delight of many homeowners, mini blinds can be used in conjunction with various other window coverings.
The main drawback to mini blinds is that they are not airtight and they do not provide adequate insulation. Their main feature, however, is to help prevent direct sunlight and they accomplish this feat very well. When selecting mini blinds, it is important to realize that not all are created equally. In fact, they are designed using three basic materials, including vinyl, aluminum and wood. Of all three, vinyl is the least expensive while aluminum offers the largest selection of color and can be custom sized. Wood mini blinds are the most expensive of the materials and, much like aluminum, they can be custom sizes and are available in a variety of different tones.
When measuring for mini blinds, an individual must first determine their position. For instance, inside mounting provides a more custom appearance while outside mounting promotes improved sunlight control. For inside mounting, the width between the areas that will feature brackets must be measured. After noting the narrowest measurement of the top, middle and bottom, the length from the top inside casing to the sill must be measured. If mounting is to be on the outside, the overall width of the coverage area must be measured.
After the area has been measured and the mini blinds purchased, installation should be a piece of cake. Installation will begin by removing the window stop from the top part of the window. Next, the brackets that accompanied the mini blinds will need to be screwed to the side window casing at the top. During this step, two to three screws should be used per bracket. The mini blinds are then ready to be slid into the brackets. Once in place, the mini blinds can be secured by placing the end caps over the brackets.
For many individuals, the installation of mini blinds is an easy task. However, for those who do not wish to undertake this task or who simply do not have the time, a professional home repair specialist may be the best way to ensure proper installation. Due to the simplicity of the project and the fact that the mini blinds are already purchased, the cost of installation should be minimal.

We purchased this set about 6 months ago and have been very happy so far. The quality and comfort for the money are wonderful. The cushions can easily be thrown into the washing machine, and still look like new despite multiple washings and continuous use.

Easy to assemble and neatly tidies away shoes, including boots, but does not suit our old cottage, it's too modern.

Seemed a little expensive, for a plastic box, but you’re paying for the engineering; it was so easy to put together and is sturdy. It’s waterproof and has pressure hinges that stop it blowing open or slamming shut. It housed all fold-up chairs with their thick full-length cushions on and is waterproof. Did exactly what we needed it to do. How often does that happen!?!

Really pleased with our green house it was really easy to put together with step by step instructions. This is the perfect size for us as we are only beginners, it’s very sturdy and it’s great that you can buy replacement covers, can’t wait to see our first plants grow.

They’re REALLY small. But they’re nice. I got the two larger ones and I’m glad I did because these alone wouldn’t have filled up my space

This is a beautiful porch swing that seems well built for the price and was reasonably easy to put together. I've had it up for a few days, love it, and have already received a number of positive comments on it from neighbors. Highly recommended.

I bought two units for my porch and the second one serves a dual purpose lol. They were very easy to assemble on my own and are very sturdy. I love the look and the fact they have a cushion on top aswell. They are the perfect size for my porch. I would certainly buy from here again as they are top quality.

Hi, I have the storage on the porch leading to the backyard. I am able to store quite a few things inside. It does not appear sturdy enough to have an adult sit on it for any period of time.

Easy to build (30 mins) by one person plus a bit of help to position the lid. Lots of pieces just click together and a hand screwdriver adequate for the rest. Gas struts work well on the lid and the box is perfect to store our recycling bags as we only have a collection once a fortnight. Recommend!

Really attractive garden furniture set (small point - should have been delivered with 12 screw on feet but only 8 included, have asked for more otherwise would have rated 5*)
