Homebase Hanworth (including Bathstore) Blinds shop

Our roller blinds are the easiest of all our blinds to install. Start by deciding on the placement of the chain and the way you'd like your blind to roll. Then, drill holes accordingly and secure your brackets. Next, you want to hang your blind by simply wedging it into the brackets until you hear it click.

Once your blind is securely hung, you may want to attach your chain to the wall, which can be done by drilling a hole and attaching the chain with screws.

Always remember to measure your window space before you buy your roller blind, so you can ensure the correct fit.

You can clean roller blinds without removing them from their brackets by using a soapy cloth or vacuum cleaner. It's important to be careful with the cleaning products you use, depending on the fabric of your roller blinds, though soapy water is usually the best option.

If you are unsure, check the washing instructions that come with your window blinds.

Firstly, you should decide whether you'd like your blind to fit within the window recess or outside the window recess.

If you want your blind to fit outside the window recess, take three width measurements across the top, middle and bottom of the window. Then complete the three measurements vertically, on the left, middle and right. For both sets of measurements, make sure to add around 15cm to ensure no light can leak through from the side or bottom of the window blind.

If you'd like your blind to fit within the window recess, take the same measurements but from within the window recess. In this case, make sure to remove about 1cm from the width and length so your blind fits snugly in the recess.

Blackout blinds are a good choice for keeping heat out, as they are designed to block out sunlight.

There are various types of window blinds to suit differing needs and offer varying light coverage. At Homebase we stock roller blinds, venetian blinds, bamboo blinds and roman blinds. Explore the range online or in-store today.
