Hello,
Does anyone know of anywhere that sells off-the-shelf roller blinds that would be wide enough to fit a 209cm window frame, the longest I have found is 180cm?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Richard

I think you may struggle with this one, as from memory the rolls of fabric are that wide, sometimes it looks OK if you can wangle a joint to go with a vertical in the window.The quicker you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up...0

I had this problem 10 years ago. John Lewis department store sold a DIY kit. It had the roller pole etc and a spray can of fabric hardner. You bought material of your choice to go with it. I remember thinking it was very cheap at the time.
I had spent ages trying to source one, a few weeks later my neighbour put 2 matching blinds in her window that looked just as good.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Although more expensive than the blinds bought at DIY chains, you can buy made to measure bilnds from companies such as Hillarys / Baileys Blinds and the like.There's no woman sicker than the woman who is sick on her day off !0

We had the same problem trying to locate blinds for the wide windows on our 70s house.
There are lots of blind companies on e-bay which offer blinds upto 240CM (8ft).
We are getting some blackout blinds for the kids rooms for around £50 each. Local companies to us quoted around £120-£140 per blind!0
