Every company makes tall claims in their marketing campaigns but you have to decide which online blinds store can deliver the best quality of made to measure blinds that meet your needs. There are wide range of blinds available with these stores and at affordable prices too. But there are certain points which are worth considering before you place an order for made to measure blinds. When you are looking to place order for made to measure blinds you need to make sure that the measurements sent to the online store are perfect. So make sure you have followed the below given steps:

•First of all read through the measuring instructions provided at the website.

•Ask a family member or friend to help you when you are taking the measurements.

If you intend to opt for the outside mounted blinds then you should decide how much large made to measure blinds should be then your window. While measuring for outside mounted blinds you will need to take note of any major obstructions.

•Leave about two inches of space at the top, bottom and sides of the window for fitting the blinds. Such blinds have to be fitted on the outer half of the casement. Add some more inches to provide a good overlapping to the window. This will avoid any obstructions. Remember the made to measure blinds you install should provide adequate privacy but they should also allow sufficient amount of light into the rooms.

After you have taken proper measurements for your room ask for price quotations. You can have other fiends take the measurements individually to cross check your accuracy. Buying made to measure blinds is more costly than any other types of blinds, so you do not want to receive an ineffective blind.
