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.
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.
Decide if you need a separate liner behind the main curtain. Liners add warmth and privacy without blocking all light. This adds cost and complexity. Measure both widths separately to allow for proper gathering. Confirm whether the quote includes labor for installing two layers of fabric on a single hook system or requires dual rails.
For driven blinds, confirm the motor battery type and expected lifespan. Ask if the system includes a manual crank for power outages. Check the brand of the central controller and app compatibility with your phone. Ensure the technician provides a warranty covering both the motor unit and the remote control device separately.
Minor cord fraying can be repaired with splicing. Broken bend mechanisms usually need replacement. Torn fabric requires professional re-stitching or replacement. Check warranty terms for in-store repairs. Keep original packaging labels for identification. Small fixes cost less than full replacement. Prompt attention prevents larger functional failures later in time.
Dust slats every 2 weeks with a duster. Vacuum sheer curtains gently on low settings. Use mild soap for fabric cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that strip finishes. Test cleaners on a hidden area first. Misguided wiping fades colors permanently. Proper care maintains texture and color vibrancy over several years of use.
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.
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.
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.
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.
