Cash & Carry Process
- To purchase a product from the cash & carry range just use the process listed below:
- Using our online measuring guide, please carefully measure your windows first.
- Then choose the style of the blinds you believe will suit you and the environment they will be installed in and write these details down making sure that you have your measurements and any other information handy, so that we may be able to assist you further when you either call us or visit us in person.
- Define the windows you wish to cover; are they facing the sun? are they recessed in concrete? brick or wood etc… This is important as you may require different types of product and fittings to suit.
- Once you have this entire information ready, please use a contact method below to suit your preference.
Measuring
- Accurate measuring is very important. Attention to detail is very important when measuring for blinds. Here are some helpful hints:
- Measure width in three places – top middle and bottom. Make sure you measure as close to the top as possible.
- Measure drop in three places – left, centre and right side.
- Look for obstructions – window locks, fins, alarm sensors etc…
- Write measurements onto pad, rather than straight onto order form. This allows you to double check measurements as well as check your opening sizes against your make sizes
- Take the time to check your measurements before leaving the home. Sure this may cost you some time but it could save you money and reputation. There is an old adage – “Measure twice and cut once”. The few extra minutes required to check you measurements will pay you dividends.
