If choosing motorized blinds, test the remote range during installation. Walls and metal frames block radio frequencies. Confirm the remote works from the furthest point in the room. Ask about repeaters if the signal fails. Document this test in the final report. A weak signal means you cannot control blinds effectively from your favorite chair.
Ask if the quote includes removing old blinds and cleaning up dust. Drywall sanding creates fine particles that settle everywhere. Insist on using drop cloths to protect nearby furniture. Confirm the contractor vacuums the work area before leaving. Failure to clean properly leads to dust settling on electronics and floors, requiring extra effort from you.
Inspect how the end caps seal the sliding track. Loose caps allow dust and lint to enter the mechanism. This causes friction and eventual failure. Demand tight-fitting caps made of durable plastic or metal. Ask about replacement parts availability. A simple cap issue can ruin a premium curtain setup by trapping debris inside the gear system.
Do not trust marketing terms for blackout performance. Ask for the solar heat gain coefficient or thermal resistance value. Some fabrics block light but not heat. Look for dual-layer construction with a tight weave. Confirm the material meets specific energy efficiency standards. This affects your heating and cooling bills significantly during extreme weather seasons.
Measure the width and height of the window recess precisely. Use a steel tape measure, not a flexible one. Check all 4 sides because walls are rarely square. Note the distance from the sill to the floor. Incorrect measurements lead to returned goods and extra charges. Always record the channel width for custom blinds.
Fabric blinds fade faster in west-facing rooms due to direct sunlight. Choose blackout materials for better light control. Aluminum slats resist humidity better than wood. Vinyl is affordable but brittle in cold weather. Ask about UV protection coatings. Material choice affects both appearance and lifespan significantly for your specific location.
Decide between inside placement and outside placement. Inside mounts fit within the window recess. Outside mounts cover the wall above the frame. Outside placement blocks more light but reduces natural daylight. Ensure you have at least 5 cm of wall space above the window for outside brackets. This choice impacts overall visual width.
Ask if the pro brings a level and drilling kit. Check for bracket alignment. Uneven fittings cause operational issues later. Verify they use appropriate wall anchors for your specific wall type. Drywall requires different screws than concrete. Poor installation leads to sagging or jammed mechanisms. Inspect the finished bracket work carefully yourself.
Standard production takes about 2 to 4 weeks. Custom fabric orders may take longer. Booking installation requires scheduling after delivery. Rush fees apply for expedited orders. Confirm the delivery window before signing. Delays happen due to fabric backorders or shipping issues. Keep the deposit receipt to track order status effectively without stress.
Base quotes often exclude hardware like tilt cords or wand mechanisms. Motorized options add significant expense. Header brackets and side channels cost extra. Ask if removal of old treatments is included. Disposal fees sometimes apply for bulky items. Request an itemized quote to reveal all additional line items clearly before payment.
