Reviews
You’re basically being lied to about the product to make it seem better Anonymous reviewerBought two of these for angled windows in an attic flat. One of them worked somewhat well once we had the right tools which we thought we had after buying two hacksaws to cut through the metal pole neither of which worked. Definitely need something a lot stronger to cut through it so already false advertisement with the product already. The second one however has been a nightmare to the point where I even got replacement parts and yet it still doesn’t stick to my window. Followed the instructions to a T when cleaning the window and tried everything to make it stick, yet every time it falls off. A big waste of money unfortunately. Giving it two stars as after hours of messing around with different saws the other one is up and working on the window but doesn’t deserve anymore than that.
Great Blind Anonymous reviewerAmazing blind - black out version is great for tilt & turn windows. Easy to install & great value for money. Intend to try them on Velux windows next!
Disappointing Anonymous reviewerGreat little blind, great for my tilt and turn windows. Alas they don't keep the light out so I'm still waking up at the crack of dawn.
Non drill blindAnonymous reviewerExcellent blind for my back door to stop sun heating up the room. Not sure how long it will last as blind is made from paper and care is needed when opening and closing.
better than expectedAnonymous reviewerI was a bit apprehensive about these due to other reviews but was pleased i purchased them.
I bought two blinds for my study and originally i was planning to install them directly onto the glass, however due to how you need to trim the blinds to specific widths, i would have had gaps on each side, so i instead installed them onto the window frame itself.
Using a new hacksaw blade, i was able to easily trim the blind itself and the steel guide rods on which the blind slides. The adhesive on the mounting brackets is strong and the blinds were easy to mount. There are some small bolts which hold the guide rods in place, these need to be tightened quite a lot to keep the rods in place, i'd recommend partially tightening them prior to installation to make it simpler when doing the final install on the window.
For the price, i think they are well worth it. I bought the block out versions and while light can come in around the edges the blind material is heavy and blocks a lot of light.
Don't bother Anonymous reviewerThis are not DIY friendly at all. I bought 3 of them and regreat every cent i spent on them. The cuts are really hard to do unless you already have a eletric saw and even then it's challenging. It is blackout tho.
Excellent for the priceAnonymous reviewerWarning that you do need something decent to cut metal (like a Dremel multi-tool sidecutting disc) otherwise you'll be there for hours. I spent 20 minutes sawing away at the metal rods with increasing frustration and was scratching my head as all it did was blunt the blades and take the plastic off where I was trying to cut.. Not a complaint as it shows the metal rods aren't flimsy wobbly things and will hopefully keep the blinds in position. Now that I've got the Dremel dusted off and got one test blind up and have been impressed I'll be off to Ikea and getting a couple more tomorrow for the spare room
Bottom up top down Anonymous reviewerLovely blind
Value for money
Easy to fit once you get the metal rods cut to size.
Love IKEA, but the design could be betterAnonymous reviewerPros: The blinds are aesthetically pleasing and relatively easy to install. Loved how easy IKEA makes the install, providing tools that assist in cutting the blind down to size.
Cons: My only grouse is that the suggested cut down lines, to assist in resizing the blinds according to the window, are a bit too far apart. While my window is an exact 60cm wide, I had to cut the blind down a notch as it is slightly more than 60cm wide. I now have a 1cm gap on either sides of the blind - slightly dissappointed so taking two stars away per cm.
Completely missold as 'Block-out' blindAnonymous reviewerI think any normal person reading 'blockout' is expecting a blackout blind - or something similar. This is NOT the right product for that, they are light diffusers - and block out a small perecentage of light only. Pointless for my use.
Needs more width choices. Anonymous reviewerI initially bought 2 of these. Compared to the £150 for actual Velux blinds the price of £25 definitely made them worth trying. The first 2 I fitted to Velux windows. After reading all the reviews I read the instructions very carefully a few times before making any cuts. Also bought a new saw. The width choices meant there are gaps down either side but they still keep out most of the heat and light. I waited for a few days thinking the adhesive wouldn't hold because of the angle of the windows but it did.
I bought another 2. 1 for the same sort of window as the first 2 and the other for a 1M roof light window in a flat roof. The first one was fine for a few weeks but now keeps coming falling away on one side. The one in the flat roof fell down after a couple of days. I've ordered some gorilla glue as suggested by another customer and will try that now. If Ikea changes to stronger glue and more cutting options these would be perfect. Also a range of colours would be good.
Blinds no drill Anonymous reviewerThese are amazing just what I was looking fr ,no drill I bought enough fr all my upstairs windows, look fabulous up ,can pull down to block light totally out ,or just pull top down or bottom up amazi g well worth the price
Really disappointed Anonymous reviewerWe bought one of these for our kitchen knowing we would have to cut to size.
When we started to make to size, the blind only had pre drilled holes at the end of each side. When we cut to size we had nothing to put the rods through so our only position is fully open or fully closed. When we try to open the blind we have to do it slowly otherwise the blind just collapsed forward
You need a industrial angle grinder to cut the blindsAnonymous reviewerDon’t be fooled by the ‘easy’ step by step “use a hacksaw” then “use a sharp Stanley knife” to cut and adjust the size, I swear it’s metal that is used for submarines!!! Even my heavy duty saw struggled to make a dent on these and in the end I was defeated, as the metal just chewed up. Dont waste your money I have and don’t have an ikea less than 2 hours to return, so lesson learnt from me, go to dunelm instead.
Hornvallmo blindsAnonymous reviewerWe bought 10 blinds for the conservatory and at the time of writing it has been at best 1.5 hours each. Main problems have been the instructions which ins some ccases were probably in Swedish the translated into Chinese and back to English! The bugbear is trying to get the metal top and bottom rails cut to the right lengths so that the slider rails can fit the pre-drilled holes in the blinds and you have to allowmore to be cut from the top and bottm rails fo these to synchronise, otherwise the blinds are scrap. We managed to work out how to do this but only through careful measurement and ignoring the N numbers offered as a guide. Plus the assistant gave use misleading infomation about the cost which he mistook as the price for 60cm width blinds (£19) when ours were 100cm (£25). A bit nonplussed at checkout but the £25 is correct - some education of sales staff required! Appearance wise and blockout quality is good. We can now offer our sevices as installation specialists!(Joking).
Be ready!Anonymous reviewerBought this blind for my back garden door. Serves its purpose, looks good, easy to use for what you pay. The cons, the instructions are not the clearest if you are resizing, I thought I had everything measured up well, thankfully I hadn’t cut off enough from the bars that I could just trim it again but I had to read the instructions several times and then consult YouTube for help! I’m pretty well versed in IKEA diy but this took the cake! Make sure you have a good hacksaw to hand to cut through the poles and bars of this blind. Be prepared to be there with the hacksaw sawing for a while to get through and have some sandpaper to hand as well to dull the sharp edges.
It was easy to put on the window and sticks well. I don’t know if I would buy this again, purely as it took me 5 hours to measure everything, make sure it was cut right and cutting took a long time, next time I’ll bite the cost and go to a pro, however if you’re up for the challenge this blind is good for what you pay.
Great blindsAnonymous reviewerWe got these for my conservatory. They look so clean and classy and they’re super easy to install and cut. Would recommend and buy again.
Nightmare ! Anonymous reviewerI purchased two sets of blinds and i am sitting now for two hours and cant cut to the size. I have bought a saw specialy for this occasion.
Material is too tough. There is no way to cut neither with saw nor with the any type of the knife. Impossible. I am tired
Not blackoutAnonymous reviewerThese are definitely not blackout. The sun still shines through so is more of a diffuser. There’s a lot of cutting and measuring to get the blinds right. We bought these because the window opens and thought sticking them would be ideal - but the sticky pads are terrible and come unstuck (even when held down for more than 10seconds).
They look cheap…they are difficult to move up and down. We’ve now moved it to the en-suite…looks ok in there but would be hesitant to use it where it gets a lot of use.
BlindsAnonymous reviewerI just installed the blind and it looks really good. It's not 100% blackout, meaning it doesn't completely darken the room, but it blocks the sun rays well. The only downside I see is that once installed, when fully extended, the top part doesn't stay in place and gradually lowers, leaving a gap of about 6-7 cm. I would like to receive some advice from Ikea on how to keep the top part of the blind secured when extended. Thanks
