The secret behind the recent success of Pull Down Blinds lies in their versatility. They can be used on open windows, so they are a great alternative to curtains and can still be used to cover the window when opened.
Let’s start with what they are.
For those who do not want to bother lifting a cord, some blinds can be operated by pulling them down. These blinds are automatic, meaning they will go up and down at the push of a button.
Cordless window covering options have been around a lot longer than you think. They are, in fact, the oldest form of window covering. In this article, we will explain how they work, the different types available, and some pros and cons to keep in mind.

Why choose pull down blinds?
Pull down blinds are great for homes with kids. They are safer because they don’t have any cords to operate, so your little ones can’t get hurt.
The blind cord is secured by a cord cleat, which stops the blinds from opening more than 6cm. This means there is no way a child can get trapped between the blind and the window frame, which is the most common cause of injury when a looped pull cord strangles young children in a blind.
Cordless blinds are one of the easiest types of window coverings to use. Pull them down, and they’ll stay in place until you push them back up again. This can be very useful if someone in the house likes to leave their window open while they sleep or if you have a dog that likes to jump up on windows when they see something outside that interests them.
Types of Pull Down Blinds
Below you’ll find details on all the different styles of cordless blinds.
Spring Loaded Roller Blinds
The most popular design is a spring-loaded roller blind, also known as a tensioned roller blind. This type of blind has a spring inside the roller that becomes tense as the blind is pulled down.
Roller blinds with a tab or short string at the end are often manufactured with a toggle in the center of the bottom bar. These roller blinds pose less of a risk than chains and cords.
Advantages
One of the main advantages of having a spring-loaded roller blind is that it will help you close it, especially with larger windows where the tensioned spring does most of the work. In terms of cost, a spring-loaded roller blind is also one of the most affordable options available.
Disadvantages
The biggest drawback to this design is the spring tensioning. The spring will regularly catch or lose tension, which can be a nuisance if the blind has been opened too often or children have been playing with it.
You will need to take the blind down and re-tension or replace the spring to fix it. This process is relatively inexpensive, but it is one of the major criticisms of spring-loaded designs.
Electric Pull Down Blinds
Instead of selling spring-loaded roller blinds, we sell electric roller blinds. Electric roller blinds are a better option because they are cordless, and the motor lasts much longer than springs. In addition, the blinds are battery-powered and can be connected to smart devices or remote controls, making them accessible for most households.
Advantages
Electric blinds offer a number of advantages over traditional corded models. They are much safer for children and pets and ideal for people with mobility issues. In addition, electric blinds can be controlled via smartphones or voice commands with a connectivity hub, making them very convenient. If you prefer, we also offer a selection of models with traditional manual controls.
Disadvantages
One of the main concerns people have with electric blinds is the cost. A comprehensive breakdown of the cost of electric blinds shows that the starting price is roughly £100 – £150 per window. This can make it expensive to outfit an entire house with electric blinds.
Since batteries power the blinds and do not need to be plugged into an outlet, they must be charged every few months, depending on usage. However, for a window that is difficult to reach, it may not be practical to charge the blinds frequently.
Pleated Pull Down Blinds
Across the industry, there are two ways that you can install a pleated blind:
- Free Hanging
- Tensioned
A free-hanging blind is a type of window covering installed at the top of a window recess and controlled by cords. If you’re looking for a cordless design, there may be better options than this one.
Instead, You will want to look for a pleated blind advertised as tensioned. This means that it includes cables installed on either side to prevent movement. Rather than using cords for controls, it has a tab that can be pulled down from the top or pulled.
Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds
If you’re looking for a window treatment that will provide privacy and light control without drilling, a perfect-fit blind might be the right solution. Perfect fit blinds are so named because they come with a frame that mounts directly to the window glazing. This helps to eliminate excess light and gaps around the edges of the blind, providing a more seamless look.
Perfect Fit Wooden Blinds
Most wooden blinds are not ideal for cordless installation because they have multiple cords to raise and lower the blind and the angle of the slats. However, this is not the case if you choose perfect-fit blinds. Instead of having a cord to raise and lower the blind, they have a pull down tab at the bottom, making them much safer and more convenient.
Perfect Fit Venetian Blinds
Functionally, our perfect-fit venetian blinds are just like the wooden ones, but they’re made from aluminum. Aluminum is more moisture and heat-resistant, making it more durable than wood.
