“Arrived when he said, worked away quietly and left the place spotless. The measuring was clearly done properly because everything fit first time.”
Perfect Fit Blinds
Clip-in frames that fit uPVC windows with no drilling at all. Below: what they are, the rooms they suit, the rooms they don't, and a step-by-step fitting guide.
About perfect fit blinds
Perfect fit blinds sit in their own slim frame that clips into the rubber beading between the glass and the uPVC window frame. Nothing is drilled, nothing is screwed, and the blind sits flush against the glass so it moves with the window when you open it. For Ireland's enormous stock of uPVC casement windows — and for anyone renting — this is often the fastest and cleanest solution available.
Best for
- uPVC casement windows and uPVC doors
- Rented properties where drilling is not allowed
- Conservatories and sunrooms
- Homes with young children — no cords, no chains, nothing hanging
Think twice about
- Timber and aluminium windows without a suitable beading gap
- Windows with very deep or shaped glazing beads
- Any window where the glazing bead gap is under about 12mm
What to specify
Available as venetian, pleated or cellular blinds within the frame. Cellular (honeycomb) versions add genuine insulation, which is worth specifying in conservatories and north-facing rooms. Frames come in white, brown, anthracite and cream to match common uPVC finishes.
Cleaning & care
Wipe the frame and slats with a damp cloth. The whole unit unclips in seconds, which makes it the easiest blind to take down for a proper clean.
How to fit perfect fit blinds
Follow these in order. Most fitting problems come from skipping the measuring and levelling steps rather than from the blind itself.
Check the beading gap
Measure the gap between the glass and the frame where the rubber gasket sits. You need roughly 12mm or more for the brackets to grip. If the gap is smaller, perfect fit will not work on that window.
Measure the sight line
Measure the visible glass area — height and width — from the inside edge of the beading, not the whole window. The frame is made to that size.
Push in the brackets
The small L-shaped brackets push into the gasket gap at each corner and midpoint. They should go in with firm thumb pressure and stay put. Four brackets minimum, six on tall windows.
Assemble the frame
The four frame sections push together at the corners. Feed the blind into the top rail before closing the last corner.
Clip the frame onto the brackets
Line the frame up with the brackets and push it home. It clips on with an audible snap all round.
Test with the window open
Open and close the window fully. The blind should move with the sash and not foul the handle or the frame. If it catches, reposition the brackets rather than forcing it.
What customers say
Recent reviews from homes across Ireland.
“Left the samples with me for a week so I could see them in the room light. Nobody else offered that and it made the decision much easier.”
“Does exactly what we needed. Would have been five stars but the first fitting date slipped by a week.”
Perfect Fit Blinds — common questions
Will perfect fit damage my window?
No. The brackets sit in the rubber gasket gap and leave no mark when removed. This is why it is the standard recommendation for rented houses and apartments.
Does it work on tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, and it is a good match — the blind moves with the sash. Confirm the handle clearance when the window is in the tilt position.
Can I get blackout in perfect fit?
You can get very close with a blackout pleated fabric, but the frame is not fully light-sealed at the corners. For true bedroom blackout, a face-fixed roller with side channels is better.
Is it more expensive than a normal blind?
Slightly, per window. But there is no drilling, no making good and usually no fitting time to pay for, so on a full house of uPVC windows it often works out cheaper overall.
