Replacing Some of The Missing Vertical Blinds or Alternate Options?

chrismatt on 16/01/2022 - 10:03

As I am vacating the house, am going through the condition report and checklists. A few blinds are missing in one of the windows (like 2 or 3). They look like this: https://ibb.co/0VjgGNj. I searched in Bunnings, other curtain specialists shops, as the results showed similar coloured ones. However, Bunnings didn't have the ones that I needed. The curtain specialists take bulk orders. They don't replace one or two.

What options do I have? How to handle such missing blinds? Are there other shops that you recommend?

Thank you, everyone, for all the support and guidance

    Use google to search for blind places near you and ring them up to see if they sell a few vertical blinds. Take down a single blind and measure it so you can give the place the blind size to see if they can make them and then you will need to go there to match the fabric.

    They will cost you $$$ as the blind place will have to do a small specific run for a few vertical blind instead of allot for a complete blind.

    The blinds were there when you moved in but they went missing?

      There were 12 blind blades(as someone in the comment corrected me), and 2 slots are missing. Its been several years I am renting in the same place. I don't recollect if they were there before or not. Since I am vacating, I noticed two blades are not there.

        If you don't remember them coming off then they weren't there when you moved in? Anyways, if the blinds were already dated and you lived there for a few years, then you shouldn't have to compensate much, if at all, after fair wear and tear.

    Learn your lesson. If something falls off a wall in a rented house, save it for when you move out.

    If you had the blades you could probably claim fair wear and tear because those stupid things lose blades all the time.

    Are you missing just the louvres, what width? 89mm, 100mm, 127mm
    Are the runners in the track in tact?
    Also what colour are they?

      Runners are all ok, and the tract is in good condition. A few blades are missing. They are 94cm in length and navy blue in color.

        You will need to know the width also, certain manufacturers do different sizes. I know dollar curtains do individual blades so you should be able to order through one of their stores. Navy Blue is in a dawn fabric I believe.

          Thank you. I visited Dollar Curtains. They said, they would like to send someone to measure and then order. I need only one or two, so, didn't make sense to get someone to take measurement.

            @chrismatt: I would suggest taking a blade of the same size so they can measure it. I'm sure they can do it off that

              @bradl822: Thanks. I tired Bunnings and Dollar. There are the only few around my area(South East Melbourne). Any suggestions or recommended shops?
