Tilt-and-turn windows and the blind that opens with them
Tilt-and-turn windows open inwards, which means a conventional blind hung in the recess is in the way the moment you use the window. Most owners end up leaving the blind up permanently and never getting the privacy they paid for.
Perfect-fit was designed for precisely this frame. The blind clips into the glazing beading and swings inwards with the sash.
How perfect-fit works on a tilt-and-turn
A slim frame grips the rubber beading around the glass. The blind — pleated or Venetian — sits within that frame, held flat against the pane at all times, and moves with the sash whether you tilt it at the top or swing it fully open.
No drilling, no brackets in the reveal, and nothing to unclip before opening the window.
Where perfect-fit will not work
Very slim aluminium beading, deeply sculpted timber frames and some older UPVC profiles do not give the frame enough to grip. We check the beading depth at survey with a gauge rather than guessing from a photograph.
In those cases we usually recommend a face-fitted roller above the reveal with the drop set clear of the opening arc.
Apartment blocks and lease conditions
In managed blocks along the Kent coast, leases sometimes specify that window dressings must appear white or neutral from outside. Perfect-fit blinds are available with a white reverse for exactly this, and we will ask about it at survey.
