Perfect Fit Shutters vs Traditional Blinds: The Ultimate Comparison
Dec 18 2024
Choosing between Perfect Fit shutters and traditional blinds for your home requires an understanding of their distinct features, advantages and differences.
At Your Blinds Direct, we’re providing you with the ultimate comparison between the two. We know that both are ideal for enhancing the aesthetic and functionality of your home, so let us help you find the right option.
The difference between Perfect Fit shutters and traditional blinds
Design and structure
Perfect Fit shutters are high-quality PVC, precision-fitted within your window frame and featuring adjustable louvres to control privacy and lighting. Traditional blinds can come in a number of designs, including roller blinds and Venetian blinds, but must sit inside or outside your window recess.
Installation
Perfect Fit shutters use a no-drill installation method, seamlessly clicking into your window frame for unparalleled convenience. Traditional blinds require drilling to mount brackets, which can be simple, but may not suit all properties.
Appearance
Traditional blinds offer a range of materials and colours, giving you great flexibility based on your taste, while Perfect Shutters give you a clean and modern finish.
Functionality
Both options offer privacy and lighting control, but Perfect Fit shutters are the most precise. Their snug fitting offers the added function of creating another layer of insulation.
