The Ultimate Guide to No Drill Blinds | 247 Blog

No-drill blinds have quickly become a go-to for anyone looking to refresh their home with minimal fuss. These easy-to-install window treatments are perfect for renters, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to avoid drilling holes in their walls or window frames. Simply put, no-drill blinds don't require any screws or power tools to install. They're designed to stay in place using tension, adhesive strips, or by clipping into your window's rubber beading. Ideal for those wanting a quick update or a non-invasive solution, no-drill blinds offer style, functionality, and personality! 

What are no drill blinds? 

No-drill blinds are a type of window covering that require no drilling or screwing into your walls during installation meaning you can have the same great look and functionality of traditional blinds without having to use power tools. They come in a variety of styles, including roller, Venetian, Roman and pleated blinds, ensuring there's an option to suit every taste and window type. Just like traditional blinds, they come with features such as blackout, thermal, and waterproof finishes, and even cordless or multizone (top-down, bottom-up) designs for added flexibility.

One of the biggest benefits of no-drill blinds is that they don't damage your window frames or walls, making them perfect for renters or those who need a non-permanent solution. Whether you're dealing with metal lintels, tiled surfaces, or hoping to protect your deposit while renting, these blinds offer a sleek finish without leaving behind unsightly holes or marks. This means you can easily remove them without a trace, protecting your deposit or allowing for a stress-free redecorating process. 

How do no-drill blinds work? 

No-drill blinds can be installed using a variety of method, depending on the type of blind. Tensioned Twist&Fit blinds are great if you're looking for a traditional looking blind, without the fuss of fitting using brackets and screws. Another option are no drill blinds than use a clip'n'fit system such as Clip Fit and Perfect Fit. These attach to the windows themselves using brackets that slide under the rubber beading to give a neat, integrated finish. Blinds that use adhesive strips for installation such as Stick Fit, are great for windows that don't have the specific beading requirements or recess depth required for other no-drill blind types. 

Despite the lack of screws or drilling, no-drill blinds are incredibly secure once installed. All of our no-drill blinds go through rigorous testing and come with a five year guarantee, so you can trust they're built to last. Whether you're using them in a high-traffic area like a kitchen or a quieter spot like the bedroom, you won't have to worry about them slipping or falling out of place. 

Can no drill blinds be fitted anywhere? 

In most cases, yes! No-drill blinds are designed to fit onto a wide range of window types, including uPVC windows, patio doors, and even bifold doors! Their versatility means you can install them in almost any room of your home, from the living room to the bathroom.

However, there are a few limitations to be aware of. For example, if you have very large or irregularly shaped windows, not all no-drill blinds may be suitable. Some styles, like Perfect Fit blinds, have specific size and depth requirements for your window's rubber beading. But with so many options available, from pleated to Venetian, you're likely to find something that works for your space. 

If you're looking for a recommendation, blackout blinds are perfect for bedrooms, while waterproof options like Perfect Fit faux wood shutters or no-drill waterproof roller blinds work well in kitchens and bathrooms.
