Frequently Asked Questions about No Drill Blinds

Can you fit blinds without drilling?

Blinds can be installed without the need to drill holes in your windows or in the recess. There are two main no-drill blind installation methods available. These are “bead fit” and “grip fit”. Bead-fit blinds fit directly to the window, whereas grip-fit blinds are fitted into the recess. 

How do no drill blinds work?

The most popular method to instal no-drill blinds in uPVC windows is “bead fit” using brackets that slide in between the glass and the window beading, mounting the blind onto these brackets. The blind simply clips into place and appears to be an integral part of the window.  The clips make installation quick and easy, requiring neither drilling nor fiddling. 
This method is used by leading blind brands including Louvolite’s Perfect Fit and Eclipse’s INTU blinds. They are ideal for both windows and doors since they can be fitted into the frame and will move with it. The second type, “grip fit” is similar to standard recess mounting of blinds only without the need to drill or screw into the recess. Grip-fit blinds have a head cassette which features brackets which expand outwards to grip the recess wall. Louvolite Grip fit blinds are available as no-drill roller blinds and no-drill blackout blinds. Also available with this grip fit fixing method are Vision blinds.

Can Gorilla Glue hold up blinds?

The theoretical answer is yes, but only in a very specific set of circumstances: when the blind is extremely lightweight and more decorative than functional, and when the surface to which it is affixed is suitable for glue and adequately prepared.
