How Fakro roller blinds could be the one for you

Hello,

I'm going to be doing some short blog posts focusing on each Fakro blind type. Today, I'm starting with Fakro roller blinds.

Without a doubt, our most popular type of blinds are the Fakro blackout blinds, and with good reason. They're fantastic. But what if you don't want a blind that offers complete blackout qualities? What if you just want a blind that keeps a bit of light out and gives you a bit of privacy?

Well then, perhaps the Fakro roller blind can fill the void here. Roller blinds are best suited to give you that privacy, and also to soften the light coming in to the room, rather than completey block it out. Fakro roller blinds are perfect for these kinds of requirements.

As to how they fit, all standard Fakro roller blinds are fitted using plastic fixings that fit within the frame of your Fakro window. The blind itself can be pulled down to three fixed points, though you can actually upgrade nearly all Fakro roller blinds with the same aluminium channels that come with Fakro blackout blinds as standard, giving you complete control as to where the blind sits.

If you're looking for greater control of light coming in, then perhaps Fakro Venetian blinds are best for you, but more about that another time!

Also, a new batch of Fakro roller blind colours are being added to the range, featuring a wider selection of shades of already popular colours. Go see for yourself right here.

Ordering your Fakro Blinds 101

Hello there.

Today I'd like to go through the basics of getting your ideal Fakro blind. From the moment you get your Fakro window, to choosing your delightful Fakro blind to accompany it.


1. The first thing to do is take note of your window code which you can find on the metal plate on your window.

ALL Fakro roof windows have this metal plate. It can be located at the top part of the window (usually on the right side) and is only visible when opening your window. Take a look here (click the image to enlarge):

The most important thing you need to make a note of is the Window Type code, and the Window Size code.

For example; "FTP-V U3" would be the Window Type code, and "55 / 98" would be the window size.



2. Great, you now know what window type and window size you have. Next, what blind do you want?

Fakro Blackout blinds are most popular, and are most often put in bedrooms. These will block out any and all light from outside creeping in to your room and disturbing you in the bright early mornings.

Fakro Roller blinds are fantastic value for when privacy is the most important thing. These will give you that whilst softening the light coming in to the room.

Fakro Pleated blinds provide the same functionality as a roller blind but with a different material effect.

Fakro Venetian blinds are more adjustable in that you can control exactly how much light gets in.

3. Once you have chosen your blind, what colour do you want?

There are many colours and designs to choose from in every category. However, everyone's computer/mobile/tablet screen differs slightly and as a result we offer a free blind sample service for when you need to be 100% sure.
Just pick the colours/designs that look most interesting to you and we'll send your samples out to you 1st class. That's free blind samples sent to you 1st class. Not bad eh? All you have to do is call or email to request them. Click here for our contact details.


4. Hooray! You've found your dream blind colour. The sample is in your hand and you can but dream about what your Fakro window would look like adorned with a brand new Fakro blind. So what now?

Time to make your dreams come true and order that blind! You can do this either by visiting our wonderful website, www.fakro-blinds.co.uk, or you can call us directly and place an order over the phone.

If you're on the website, all you need to do is choose your blind catergory, colour, and then select size window you have the price will be shown to you.

Whilst Fakro blinds do fit nearly all Fakro window types, we ask you check your window type to see if you have an FTT window type (triple-glazed). Blinds are made differently to fit FTT winows (though they're still the same price!) so it's helpful for us to know. If you have a triple-glazed/FTT window, contact us before ordering.

And that's it, go forth and get that Fakro blind you've been dreaming of all these years!
