The new blinds that fit into the double glazed window rubber bits are very effective. A year has passed since we fitted a set to the bedroom windows. Full moonlit nights and sunny mornings are no longer a problem, the room remains quite dark.
We have waited to buy a set for the lower windows in the lounge. The side window already had some. We do have white vertical blinds. Whilst they give privacy, they do nothing again the bright sunlight or cold air dropping down. Yes, although they are double glazed, cold air still drops down a little, making my feet feel cold.
They seemed to take a bit more adjusting than last time but for the most part, are now done. Might need a little tweaking. Below in the picture, right hand side, is the blind and its surround fitted and in the upright position:
These blinds can be opened from the top or bottom but we tend to have them closed at the top, then pull the bottom bit into place when needed. Gosh, they made such a difference last evening. We don't have plans to do the two little windows yet, we will decide later on.
I need a blind for the kitchen window, but struggling to find something suitable and that I like.
ReplyDeleteWe used this company and chose perfect fit duo light. Loads of others to chose from though.
DeleteThese look really good - please can you give me some information about where you got them? I'm in Norfolk too, so hoping that if you got them locally, I can get some too!
ReplyDeleteNot local, sorry. They are this company https://www.blinds-2go.co.uk/
