Venetian blind help

Julieah

We are looking for a Venetian blind for our living room, our window measures 115cm in width but blinds come in 120cm width, does anyone have any advice on where we can find blinds with the width we need without it costing a lot!

Most blinds can be cut down to width using a fine toothed tenon saw (wood blinds) or a cutting tool (PVC and aluminium) eg

Can you cut the top bit though as it's quite thick metal isn't it?

Hacksaw. .

We recently used blinds2go for an odd-sized window. We were quoted £99 by a local company for their most basic blind. Got a nice quality one from blinds2go for around £24 including p&p. Arrived within maybe five days and easy to install.
We will definitely be ordering from them again. And as above, just another satisfied customer.

Don't sure out a mitre saw, if you or any friends have one. Make it very easy, and gives a perfect cut through the whole lot.

Typo.

I mean to say 'don't rule out a mitre saw'.
