Custom Bathroom Blinds

How your Custom Bathroom Blinds Work

Your custom waterproof blinds are supplied with all the parts and instructions, along with a safety clip for the cord. When you place the order for your waterproof shower blinds there might be a couple of things you want to consider.

Step 1: Choose your style
Have your custom bathroom blinds made in one of two styles; relief and recess. Relief blinds attach to the outside of your window - on the frame or wall - and when pulled down will cover the window and it's edges. Recess blinds are fitted inside your window frame and will sit on your window sill when they are pulled down. Both have different benefits, and it's entirely up to you which one you would prefer.

This is where the blind screws to the window frame or wall and stands proud of the wall or frame. You must add at least 1.96" in width to house the spindle fittings as well as the personalized blind.

The blind goes inside the 'box' of the window. We need to know the precise dimensions. We subtract 1.25" from the fabric width to allow for brackets. The finished blind including brackets will equal your selected width.

Step 2: Measure your window
To make sure your custom bathroom blinds are the right size, you'll need to measure your window, both from top to bottom and left to right. Our online design tool has selectable measurements, so whether you prefer inches, centimeters, yards or meters you're fine. 

The important bit - for relief blinds you need to add a minimum of 1.96" onto your width to allow the spindle fittings to be housed without making your custom waterproof blinds too small. For recess blinds you need to give us the exact measurement. We will then make the necessary adjustments so that both the blind and brackets come to the width you have specified. 

Step 3: Select your blind type
This part is where you choose the way that all the components come together to make up your blind. This is all really simple, and done in the design tool. Let us know whether you have chosen a recess or relief blind, and make sure you provide the correct measurements for your blind type, as above. Choose whether the cord is fastened to the left or the right of the blind, and you can upgrade the white plastic cord to a silver metal one. You can at this point change your mind and change the material to a stiff translucent blind, but bear in mind that this allows some light through and will no longer have waterproofing. 

Step 4: Create your print
Now it's time for the fun bit. Use photos, create your own design or add text to your custom bathroom blinds. Use a single shot, or upload multiple images and create your own picture collage on your waterproof blinds for the shower. You can even check your waterproof shower blinds using the design view button. This will show you exactly how it will look on a roller blind, and you can even zoom in to check over the finer details. 

Step 5: Check Again
We know you've already checked your design, likely more than once, but you absolutely should double-triple-check every part of your design. We'll get in touch if we pick up issues with your images and resolution or quality, but you'll need to check the spelling, if you have text, and the positioning of your images. We make all of your blinds by hand, here in London and to guarantee a super speedy turnaround time we start as soon as we can after we get your order. So that we can do this, make sure that you are absolutely, positively happy with your design, and then submit your order. That's it, all done, and we can start making your custom bathroom blinds straight away.

We supply all blinds with an easy to install safety breakaway clip. Simply push the last ball on each side of the blind cord, into each end of the safety clip; there should be an audible click. To connect both pieces of the safety clip, just push together until it makes a snapping noise. This will now make your roller blind cord a loop, that will come apart when it's pulled too hard. To avoid this when opening and closing the blind, ensure you pull the cord gently while guiding the cord along with your hands.
