Do perfect-fit blinds damage window seals?

Perfect fit Blinds are held in place by clips that slide under the window beading. This means that there is no need to drill or screw into the window frame, which can damage the wood or plastic. So long as you are careful when inserting the brackets, and also check that your windows are internally beaded with a rubber gasket rather than glazing tape, there should be no reason why perfect fit blinds would damage your window seals.
 

Are small plantation shutters waterproof?

Small plantation shutters are typically not waterproof. Traditional plantation shutters are made of wood, which is a porous material that can absorb water. Over time, if exposed to water, they can warp, swell, and rot. For smaller windows in environments which are prone to moisture or splashes of water, we would recommend ‘no drill’ Perfect Fit Shutter blinds. They have the look of traditional shutters, but rather than being screw fixed into the recess, the clip fit to the window itself without the need for drilling or screwing. They are made from PVC which makes them waterproof and low maintenance. You can explore our range by following the link above!
