Custom blackout blinds

I need to order some custom blackout blinds (not huge ~140x90cm). But where from? There are many shops: www.blindsdirect.co.uk www.blinds-2go.co.uk www.247blinds.co.uk www.makemyblinds.co.uk etc

Are these all just fronts for the same factory? Are there significant differences? Anyone had any good or bad experiences with any of them?

I've used blinds2go and always received good quality product from them.

used blinds 2 go for tons of blinds over the past 10 years and have always found them to be good quality, quick delivery and ive never had a problem with them.

edit: just a note on the blackout blinds. they are good but obviously do let in light around the edges. if you want true blackout blinds you need the ones which sit in tracks on the sides and bottom of the window.

Or blackout Roman blinds, they sit very close to the wall and block a lot of light

Also look at cassette blinds

Used both www.blinds-2go.co.uk and www.247blinds.co.uk numerous times over the years and never had any issues with either of them.

Blinds2go get another vote for me fantastic company.

We went for some of these and they do a great job of blocking out the street lamp right by our window. We don't need curtains at all we get the tiniest amount of bleed around the edges that you can barely notice.
