Can readymade roller blinds from bunnings be cut down to size for non-standard windows

[MitchellMc]

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @BAW. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about cutting down roller blinds.

Typically you can't cut down a roller blind due to the internal mechanism. However, we do offer a range of customer-made roller blinds from RIVA. Just let our helpful team at your local store's Special Orders desk know the size of the window, and they can have the blinds made for you. If you'd like to know more about the process, check out this helpful guide on How to order custom Riva blinds.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Are we talking about the blinds you tug at the end and they automatically rise or the beaded cord ones?

I don't know about the Bunnings ones - but the Spotlight beaded cord ones you can most certainly cut to size. I cut them to fit within our kitchen window frames.

I can provide photos and instructions if you wish.

Cheers.

@Noyade Hi - if you can provide photos and instructions, that would be helpful. We need to do 3 large window blinds with the beaded cord.

Morning HPM @HPM 

This was eight years ago and they were cheap Spotlight beaded roller blinds.

I remember two windows were not a standard size so we bought two slightly oversized blinds and cut them to fit.

There were even instructions included on how to do this.

You literally cut the entire end to fit - after you remove the plastic insert with the pin.

It was just a cardboard tube at the top - the blind material - and then the plastic 'weight' at the bottom.

Once cut to fit - reinsert the plastic pinned end and install.

Measure three times - cut once. 😁
