How much day and night blinds or zebra blinds cost will depend on obvious factors like the size of the window, the quality of the blind, your choice of fabrics, and any particular bells and whistles you might fancy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our own day and night blind prices start at \u00a321.99 (think \u201csmall bathroom window\u201d territory), up to a \u00a3300-\u00a3400 for a biggun\u2019 from our most prestigious range of day and night blinds for sale, to give you a ballpark figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post is designed to provide a general guide to the cost of day and night blinds compared to other types of blinds, and explain a bit more about what goes into determining day and night blind prices in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What dictates day and night blind prices?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In terms of what goes into dictating the price of any given day and night blind, all of the same factors come into play as for other types of blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quality of the fabric itself and the housing, mechanism and controls used can all cause significant variance in the cost of one day and night blind compared to another as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are readymade day and night blinds cheaper than made-to-measure day and night blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trick question! In terms of where to buy day and night roller blinds, many UK-based readymade blinds retailers haven\u2019t really cottoned onto them yet; or perhaps more likely, can\u2019t work out how to produce readymade day and night blinds that can be cut to size at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the nature of their looped fabric and contrasting textures, trimming a day and night blind stands a high to definite rate of certainty of going horribly\/expensively wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you do then find someone offering readymade day and night blinds for sale, we strongly advise you to steer clear unless they\u2019re available in the exact size you need already and don\u2019t need trimming to fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even comparatively cheap day and night blinds for sale will still in many instances be made to measure, which is invariably a little more expensive in terms of initial outlay than off-the-peg blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are day and night blinds expensive compared to roller blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Functionally, the closest relative of a day and night blind or zebra blind is the roller blind, albeit day and night blinds know a few more dance moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main factors that dictates day and night blind cost in terms of how they compare to other blinds is the amount of fabric involved in making them. Day and night blinds use twice as much fabric as an equivalent roller blind, as the fabric goes up both the front and back of a day and night blind\u2019s tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that a day and night blind will almost certainly be more expensive than a roller blind of the same calibre. But for your additional beer tokens you do get the added flexibility and functionality that day and night blinds offer, and vitally, the supercool stripiness that resulted in the \u201czebra blinds\u201d moniker coming into being in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example based on comparisons as close as we can get them in terms of fabric quality, the zebra blind price for a window 120cm by 120cm from our range would be \u00a384.86, while a roller blind would be \u00a342.83.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep; almost double the cost for a day and night blind in that specific instance; but bear in mind once more the added functionality, and also the fact that in general comparison terms, roller blinds are like-for-like the cheapest type of blinds of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re talking blinds for big windows though, roller blinds and day and night blind\u2019s prices come a lot closer to reaching a consensus on how long you\u2019ll be paying them off for. Our largest roller blind is \u00a3290, while it\u2019s correlating day and night blind costs \u00a3320.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much are day night blinds compared to other types of blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, day and night blind prices can be around double that for an equivalent roller blind at the smaller end of the size scale, but they come closer together higher up the ladder; so, how much are day and night blinds compared to other types of blinds? Here\u2019s the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
