DEBEL Pleated Blind, Flex, White, 70 x 210 cm

I purchased 3 blinds for my upvc tilt and turn doors and 6 blinds for my upvc tilt and turn windows. I am very pleased and I intend to buy more for the rest of the windows and doors. I used the clamp brackets which were included with the original purchase (two on top and two on the bottom), which means that the blinds were installed without drilling and that the door or window moves with the blinds. It was not stated on the instructions leaflet that for this method of installation, you don't need the little plastic pieces shown on the first attached photo. First step was to remove them. The clamp opening width is adjustable: you must slide open the top square piece, fit the clamp on your window and slide the square piece back to secure in place. I found that on my windows the clamps were somehow fiddly, so I secured them with a sponge type double sided adhesive tape and now they stay in place securely. For one door, I had to cut down the width. I cut 7,5 cm off each side (total 15 cm) and it worked well. The distance between the blind edge and the cord channel is 10 cm on each side, but I would not recommend to cut more than 9 cm off each side. The top and bottom aluminium piece is sturdy and I couldn't make a clean cut with a handsaw, so I used an electric disk to cut it. The little channels inside these metal pieces were slightly distorted after cutting them, but it was very easy to shape them back with a screwdriver in order to clip the plastic end caps back in place. The blinds material is a very sturdy polyester and I had to use a very sharp knife in order to make a straight cut. In some places, I the edges frayed, but it was very easy to cut off the threads with a sharp pair of scissors, after the blinds were installed on the window and it doesn't show at all. (The cut blind is shown on fifth photo). My doors are tall (210 cm), and I wish the cords were slightly longer in order to be more manageable during the fitting process. After you fit them, you may cut off the excess cord. I did not, just in case I need to adjust something. I live in a hot sunny place and these blinds block out the sun while allowing the light to come in. I love them and the fact that you can choose to either move them from the top or bottom, depending on the time of day or your needs is very convenient.

Bought these as a cheap fix to stop the blinding sunlight streaming through my French doors without having to draw the curtains.Our puppy chewed the ends of the verticals we had previously (he is so lucky he is cute!), and the perfect fit blinds I had my eye on were too expensive to justify buying this close to Christmas. To say I am delighted with the Debel blind is an understatement!Easy to install, nice deep, warm grey colour and gives us the privacy and shade from the sun we wanted! Would recommend!

Promptly delivered and easy to fit with a range of alternative fixtures for all conceivable installation needs. Provided perfect daytime privacy for a recess arch window and raised from bottom.

Surprisingly good product comes with plenty of fitting options and spares.I fitted it like an 'easyfit' blind using the 'L' brackets as hidden fittings sliding them under the window rubbers (no screwing). This is not one of the suggested/instructed fitting options but although fiddly works well on a window that wont see the blind being adjusted very often.

I have a window which I wanted the lower half covered all the time with the option of raising sometimes. This sits in whatever position you leave it in and still allows light through. It's for a cloakroom so privacy was important, which this provides.

Really like this blind, having it able to open from the top allows the trickle vent in the window to remain uncovered, but still allows privacy. Pretty easy to install, though as previously mentioned, a bit fiddly as the parts are so small. All in all very happy with this product.

Great blind - excellent for privacy and for having windows open whilst the blinds are closed - we leave a gap at the top in my young sons room to let in light avoiding the use of a lamp!

I liked it but disappointed to discover the fittings were not compatible with my window frameAnd returned
