Sunproject Venetian Blind Installation in Warsaw: Hung Level

What matters with Sunproject blinds

Sunproject makes sun protection for windows: venetian blinds, roller blinds and pleated ones. This piece is about venetians, with aluminium or wooden slats. They are good for controlling light. Tilt the slats and the sun goes up to the ceiling while the room stays bright.

The main question is where to fix them. Venetians can go on the sash, inside the reveal, or on the wall above the window. On the sash they move with the window, so you can open it without taking them down, but the width has to match the glass exactly. In the reveal or on the wall you need extra width and clearance from the handle, or the slats catch on it.

Wooden slats are noticeably heavier than aluminium. They need solid fixings into the wall or ceiling, because a plastic frame copes badly with the weight.

Mistakes you can spot straight away

• Drilling into the frame blind and hitting the steel reinforcement or the seal. The hole in the profile stays there for good.
• Brackets out of line, so the blind hangs crooked and the slats close unevenly.
• Forgetting the window handle. The slats bang into it every time you open up.
• Wooden blinds hung on plugs meant for light curtains, and a month later the head rail sags.
• The pull cord left as a long loop. With small children at home, it gets clipped to a wall cleat.

Before the visit

• Decide where the blinds go: on the sash, in the reveal or above the window.
• Photograph each window in full, plus close-ups of the handle and the top of the frame.
• Check the boxes contain brackets and a cord cleat.
• Clear the windowsill.

Finding a fitter

This part takes a couple of minutes. Describe the job in the app, how many windows, what type of blind and where it’s fixed, and add photos. Tradespeople who take this work in Warsaw send bids with their own price. Look at ratings and reviews, pick one, and only that person sees your phone number and address.

You pay the fitter directly and he gives you the invoice. He answers for his own fitting and redoes it if something hangs crooked. Uneven reveals or an old frame are not on him. The blinds and taking away packaging are paid separately, fixings are usually included.
