Ikea pleated blinds £3

Hi Outdoor Lady,

How are they fixed then?

There is a strip of sticky 'thingy' at the top that you peel off and stick on the frame they have also included sticky velcro if you need it for the bottom, I haven't needed to use that but I'm quite impressed with them

I'm even thinking of useing them in the conservatory,      that will work out a lot cheaper that the quote I had of £3,000 last year !!

As a supplier and fitter of blinds I would be caution relying on anything 'sticky' in a conservatory. The heat that can build-up tends to release the glue. (I know from experience)

Thanks for the extra information Outdoor Lady and to you CBR Blackbird for your input.  I would be worried about the heat reducing the effect of the sticky stuff as I've seen this happen with 'nets' in hotel rooms which have fallen down.

I did wonder that, do you think the velcro would work better ? You can get a really strong adhesive type now. Previous owner of MH stuck things up with it took me ages to get it all off with adhesive remover.  

These could possibly be a great (and cheap) solution to preventing faded interiors

It may be a silly question but how do these  kinds stay up or even half mast.  My blinds need refreshing!

Write your comments here...Not advisable to put blinds up during storage as the blinds tend to lose their'shape' Much better to cut cardboard to fit each window individually. We did it last year after advice from out service mechanic and so far it has done the job admirably

But surely it doesn't really matter if they lose their shape they are only £3.00 each, probably cheaper than cardboard.
