Things to consider!

Choosing the right blinds or shutters can completely change how a room looks and feels but with so many styles and price points available, it’s worth taking a moment to compare your options before you buy. Here are the key things to think about:

1. Style and Function

Blinds come in wood, faux wood, aluminium, or fabric. Each with pros and cons.

Decide what you need your blinds or shutters to do.

  • Light control: Venetian or vertical blinds are ideal for adjusting sunlight throughout the day.
  • Privacy: Blackout roller blinds or plantation shutters offer full coverage – perfect for bedrooms.
  • Aesthetics: Faux wood blinds or café-style shutters create a premium, timeless look.

💡 Tip: Think about which direction your windows face, south-facing rooms may need better UV protection.

2. Material and Durability

  • Faux wood: Moisture-resistant and easy to clean so ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Real wood: Warm, natural finish but may warp in humid rooms.
  • Aluminium: Sleek, modern and low-maintenance.
  • Fabric: Softer finish, but may require more frequent cleaning.

For shutters, solid hardwood or composite materials are most durable.

3. Energy Efficiency

Good-quality blinds and shutters can help regulate room temperature.

  • Thermal or honeycomb blinds reduce heat loss in winter and keep rooms cool in summer.
  • Tightly fitted shutters create an extra insulation layer, potentially cutting energy bills.

4. Measuring and Fit

Even the best blinds will look poor if they don’t fit correctly.

  • Always measure both width and drop at multiple points as window recesses aren’t always perfectly square.
  • Consider made-to-measure blinds for a professional finish, especially in period homes or bay windows.

💡 Unsure? Many local installers offer a free measuring service & you can get quotes direct from us on CheckThatPrice.com.

5. Safety Features

If you have children or pets, look for cordless or motorised options that remove hanging cords.
All modern blinds sold in the UK must comply with child-safety regulations (BS EN 13120) check this before buying.

6. Warranty and Aftercare

💷 Use our free Blinds Price Check tool to see if your quote is fair, or get new quotes from trusted local installers.

A fair price is important, but so is peace of mind.

  • Look for suppliers who offer a written warranty on materials and installation.
  • Warranty periods often vary from 1 year up to 10 years!
  • Check whether repairs, adjustments, or replacements are covered.

🛡️ At CheckThatPrice.com, we only work with pre-vetted and approved suppliers so you can be confident in your purchase.

✅ For extra protection use companies who are registered with WarrantyApproved.com. This services monitors the quality of work completed and ensures warranties are fair and consistently delivered. You approve all work on completion and support is available should issues arise.

7. Price and Value

  • Factors like materials, delivery time, and installation costs can affect your quote.
  • Often you can find up to 40% difference in quotes on the same product in the same region, but from different companies.
  • CheckThatPrice.com saves you the time of getting multiple quotes. We know the fair price on your job and we work with the best suppliers to deliver this for you.

8. Reviews and feedback

Always check reviews from leading sites to understand customer satifiscation levels

  • Look on social media to see if your contacts have reviewed the company
  • Everyone can make mistakes and you may see some negative reviews but look at how the company responds to these
  • Sadly not all reviews are 100% genuine, so look at sites which have reviews from genuine customers who purchased from the company (for example WarrantyApproved.com or TrustPilot Verified).
