Your Questions Answered
FAQ: Beadfit Blinds
Q: What are Beadfit blinds?
A: Beadfit blinds are a screw-free blind system that attaches directly to the black beading of your window. Popular for patio doors and bifolding doors, these blinds leave no trace once removed and do not damage the window. The main brands are INTU (by Eclipse) and PerfectFit (by Louvolite). INTU uses a custom headrail to attach fabrics and coloured slats, while PerfectFit uses a frame that houses existing blinds around the edge of the glass.
Q: What windows are best suited for Beadfit blinds?
A: Beadfit blinds are ideal for high-traffic doors since the blinds move with the door and do not need to be lifted or drawn back. The INTU Micro system allows safe installation on bifolding doors without slats colliding when the doors fold.
Q: What colours are available for Beadfit blinds?
A:
INTU headrails: White, Brown, Silver, Anthracite Grey
PerfectFit frames: White, Brown, Silver, Anthracite, Mahogany, Golden Oak
Slats and fabrics: Hundreds of roller, pleated, and aluminium slat colours and textures are available to suit any interior.
Q: What variations of Beadfit blinds are available?
A:
INTU:
Rollers – popular for bedroom windows with blackout fabrics.
Pleated – ideal for conservatories or areas with high thermal gain due to reflective backing.
Venetians – perfect for privacy on back doors and front-facing windows.
PerfectFit:
Similar range to INTU but with a frame system that allows free-hanging blinds.
Options include wooden venetians, roller blinds, and pleated blinds, all of which can be tensioned or free-hanging.
Q: Can Beadfit blinds be motorised?
A: Currently, INTU blinds cannot be motorised due to slim headrails, but motorisation is available for PerfectFit blinds using Somfy motors, which can integrate with home automation systems.
Q: How long does it take to make Beadfit blinds?
A: Beadfit blinds are manufactured in the UK, typically taking 3–4 weeks for production.
Q: Are there any disadvantages to Beadfit blinds?
A: The main consideration is that when fully stacked, the fabric and rails remain on the glass line. Unlike some other blinds, they cannot lift above the window recess, so the rails are always visible.
Q: How long do Beadfit blinds last?
A: Beadfit blinds come with a 3-year warranty. With proper care, they can last up to 10 years.
