We would like to explain the differences and benefits of Perfect Fit and Intu Blinds:
How are they installed?
Both Perfect Fit and Intu are installed directly onto the window frame.
Perfect Fit – a four-sided frame holding the blinds, which clicks into the special push-fit brackets, suitable for uPVC windows. Roller and Pleated Blinds can lift from top to bottom or bottom to top.
Intu – instead of using a frame, Intu blinds are attached to the headrail at the top of the window. The blinds can integrate with the window thanks to discreet side supports which keeps it under the constant tension. Intu blinds are suitable for uPVC windows and will open and close similarly like Perfect Fit Blinds.
Benefits of Perfect Fit and Intu Blinds
– No drilling, no screws and no holes and easy to remove.
– No hanging cords or loops guarantee child safety solution.
– They leave window sills clutter free.
– The windows and doors can open with blinds fully integrated with them.
– They are ideal for bi-fold doors, tilt and turn opening windows, conservatories, patio doors and windows.
– Choices of Roller, Pleated, Cellular or Aluminum Venetian blinds.
– Fewer gaps means greater privacy and security.
– Extra temperature control because windows and doors can be opened whilst the blinds are closed
– Matching range of frames, headrail and accessories for both systems offers a wider choice.
Elegancy Blinds also offers customised frames and components in the colour to match your existing window frames.

The main differences between Perfect Fit and Intu Blinds
Generally, both systems integrate the blinds with doors and windows for easy use and access. The difference is the structure of the products and the advantages that they bring.
For example:
– Perfect Fit Blinds are based on full four-sided frame which reduces side gaps, to blend in with the windows and less movement of the blinds.
Intu Blinds has an option called Guided Blinds which includes an additional restrain bottom bar to prevent extra movement. Also, there is an Intu Privacy option for Venetian Blinds with no extra holes in slats for greater privacy and light control.
– Perfect Fit frame can take more glass space and some customers prefer the bigger window surface you get with Intu Blinds.
– Perfect Fit frames can also trap some insects; whereas Intu Blinds are easier to keep clean with fewer elements.
– Both products in Venetian Blinds can create a little noise in the breeze, whereas soft Roller and Pleated fabrics generate minimum noise.
– Perfect Fit Blinds have a motorised option for Rollers and Day & Night Blinds.

Hi, intu or perfect fit for alu bifolds
Hi Ryan
Thank you for your question, in general we would recommend Intu blinds for bifolds. However it would be a good idea for a professional consultant to have a look at the door.
