PVC venetian blinds

Any one know where i can buy these for as cheap as possible?I am looking for a friend of mine and have checked a lot of online stores and the prices are coming up at about £50 each for 5ft and £30 for 3ft.
I bought mine 3 years ago at Glynn webb for a round a tenner each,but they closed down a while back.
Any info appreciated.

    Not quite what your looking for, but Ikea do really cheap aluminium venetian blinds that can be cut to size if needed., prices start at £4.99 for the Stalis blinds
    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60109158

    You cut the laths down to size with the Sektor tool that costs all of £1.99, its a bit time comsuming, and you need a mini hacksaw for the top and bottom rails.

    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    You should start off with IKEA.

    Try Wilkinsons as well it is surprising what they have to offer, check out their website for guidance.

    Rapid Hardware are quite good but are based somewhere in the northwest.

    Avoid the B and Q type stores unless they have a clearance sale on - they are usually horrendously expensive.
    :o Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? :o
