@@asmahassan1422 measurements are easy to take, follow the guidelines on their website. Basically, you just measure the glass between the black rubber bits. Take a couple of measurements each window, side to side and top to bottom and put the numbers into the website and they should come out the right size, as long as you've followed the instructions. We found it very simple.

They pop back out really easily, you just push in the retaining lump on the 4 brackets and they slide straight off. You might need something a bit harder than your finger to push the clip back, but it's a simple job that takes a few seconds

@@noelkrusty_ Thank you very much! Your video and reply has certainly helped me to decide to order them!

Hi, not quite. There are all the little slots that the strings run through, so there is a small amount of light that gets through, but not enough that it bothers us. If you're looking for blackout blinds, these particular ones probably aren't good enough. Hope that helps

@@noelkrusty_ thank you 😊

Do you know what, I've never really noticed that until now! You're quite right though, there is a slight difference. I would say that on our windows, the corner bits are nearer to what the window frames are, than the blind frames. Notice it more in our living room where the blinds are white also, don't notice it as much in the kitchen/dining room with the grey blinds. I still really like them though after almost 2 years. Hope that helps and good luck with yours!

The blinds are individual, you measure each window to get an exact fit and closing rods on whichever side suits you.

From memory, you measure across the glass from one edge of the rubber to the other edge of rubber, so just the visible section of glass. The website has a good measuring guide on it which we followed. Please check that to be certain and don't rely on my memory, it's been a while!

@neilchristie1442 thank you for quick reply. Much appreciated 🙏

We went for a grey that was similar to our kitchen worktops. We have white in other rooms. One thing worth knowing about the darker colours, they heat up with the sun on them, so if we have a lie in at weekends and it's nice and sunny, you can really feel the heat on the room near to the windows.

@@noelkrusty_ That's a really useful bit of info. I have rooms where the glass turn into radiators from the sun so I best avoid darker colours then. Thanks.

Mine were very tight, but use some water mixed with fairy liquid type dishwashing soap and don't try to push them straight in, start with a corner and sort of slide them in to position. If they are really still too tight, then maybe check if a lubed up credit card will slide in first, to loosen the seal. Hope that helps

Got it, Thank you so much for your advice

What problems did you have? We had no issues at all using a credit card sized spacer?

From memory, the top and bottom are pushed together and the cord is wound around one set of end corner pieces, locking them together. You can see this on my video just after I take them out the bubble wrap. Once unwound from the corner brackets, you can open them out to fit the sides

Hi, sorry for delay in replying. They're pretty good at blocking light. Obviously not perfect as there are holes for the strings to go through, but we have the complete downstairs of our house done with them now and don't use any curtains or anything else. You can see bits of light if a car goes by etc but only tiny amounts which sort of depends what's outside your windows also. When funds allow, we will probably do all the bedrooms too, as they're so neat and tidy. Relatively easy to clean too and can be popped out of the clips to clean the window and frame behind easily. Hope that helps

we're really happy with them, been in over 6 months now and no issues whatsoever. we'll probably get some more for bedrooms at some point. glad the video was of some help

I wanted to ask, my window fitters used beading on the inside of the windows, how much space does the overlay take?

not sure without measuring mine, which I will try to remember to do later. think it gives you a dimension on the measuring guide on the website, from memory. we were a bit borderline with handle placement measurements, but ok when actually fitted.

the brackets do feel tight when fitting into the rubber. any sort of lubrication makes it much easier. I would suggest looking on the blinds to go website at their fitting instruction video, which explains how to check if your window is suitable. from memory, it's trying to slip the corner of a credit card between rubber and glass, but it's a while since I did it so please check carefully.

I was a bit worried about that too, but I've just fitted mine with a smattering of washing up liquid, and the seal popped back into position, over the bracket.

a bit of silicon lube works well

Good question. I assume if you ask the window manufacturers they'd say no, but in practice it's fine. The inside of the window is the "warm" side of the glass/unit so it's still sealed on the outside and around the edges and everywhere else, so you effectively just deform the rubber locally in 4 small areas inside the house, so there is no issue with heat transfer/draught in practice. Obviously, that's just my opinion. Hope that helps

@@noelkrusty_ thanks :)

I was a bit sceptical when I saw their advert, seemed too good to be true, but we took a chance and were really pleased with them. We've now done the living room, kitchen and a set of French doors. Can't believe how cheap they were compared to other options! ( The dog looks great, but he's rubbish at DIY..)
