How Perfect Fit blinds work
Perfect Fit blinds are designed to clip neatly onto your uPVC window or door frame, without the need for drilling. The blind is housed within its own frame, which moves with the window when it’s opened or closed. Depending on the style, Perfect Fit blinds can be pleated, Venetian, or roller, but they’re all operated in a simple way using either a sliding tab or a small handle on the bottom bar.
Step-by-step instructions for closing
1. Locate the control tab or handle
At the base of the blind, you’ll find a slim handle or tab attached to the bottom bar. This is what you use to operate the blind.
2. Pull the blind downward
Gently slide the handle downwards to lower the blind. The fabric or slats will extend smoothly within the Perfect Fit frame.
3. Stop at your preferred level
You don’t always need to close them fully. Stop halfway if you’d like some light to filter in, or lower completely for privacy or shade.
4. Check alignment
Make sure the bottom bar is sitting evenly across the frame. If it looks uneven, guide the handle gently until level.
Tips for smooth operation
- Gentle movement: Perfect Fit blinds are designed to glide easily – avoid forcing the handle.
- Keep frames clean: Dust the blind’s frame occasionally to keep the mechanism free of debris.
- Mind obstructions: Make sure nothing is resting against the blind (like a window handle) that could affect movement.
- Regular upkeep: A light dusting of the slats or fabric keeps them working and looking their best.
Common problems and how to fix them
- Blind feels stiff when lowering: Dust or dirt in the side channels may be causing resistance – give them a quick clean.
- Doesn’t sit level: Guide the handle evenly with two hands until straight.
- Tab won’t slide smoothly: Check for any small obstructions in the track and wipe them away.
