How Did Lee Solve the Problems of His Sunroom with Custom Built-in Honeycomb Blinds?

Lee is one of my customers from Melbourne who purchased custom built-in honeycomb blinds from our store. When he first came across our store, Lee recalled that he had been unable to find the most perfect fitting blinds. After measuring the standard sizes of seven different brands, the gaps left made it impossible to achieve the effects of shading and heat insulation. "I found that none of them were suitable, and I didn't want to make do with my new house," he said. While browsing a design forum, Lee discovered our store in a post about factory-direct blinds.

What attracted him to make an inquiry were the following three advantages of our store:

• True customization: Unlike the limited size adjustments of large retailers, we carefully produce each customer's order from scratch in our ISO-certified factory, meeting the special requirements of every customer.
• Expertise in built-in products: Our products are specially designed for built-in honeycomb blinds, and we have years of experience in customizing honeycomb blinds, allowing for a perfect fit with the window frame.
• Architectural-grade materials: We apply commercial-grade components to residential scenarios.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Lee sent us his blessings and an inquiry about the blinds through our store account. Lee shared with me that he was building his own house in Australia, a mid-century modern-style residence. So, he needed to buy blinds once the house was completed and came to us in advance to get the curtain catalog and fabric color swatches. Then, I casually chatted with Lee from time to time and asked about the construction progress of his house. I thought he was a very talkative customer. Finally, one day in mid-April, Lee came to me and excitedly told me that his house was finally completed and sent me photos! In Melbourne, the summer is dry with little rain, but Lee loves his sunroom and the charm of the architecture where the sun shines directly in. Just a few days after Lee started enjoying his sunroom, problems emerged. He had a uniquely angled window at 37°, which brought unexpected challenges as standard blinds couldn't be installed. Moreover, the intense Melbourne sunlight was gradually fading the color of his vintage furniture. At this moment, he reached out to me for advice.

I recommended our built-in honeycomb blinds to him because the unique honeycomb structure of the honeycomb blinds can effectively form an air layer, providing good heat insulation. The honeycomb blinds can be customized according to different window sizes and shapes, whether they are ordinary rectangular windows or special-shaped windows, ensuring a perfect fit. This customization service ensures that the honeycomb blinds can closely adhere to the window. The strong ultraviolet rays can damage indoor furniture, floors, and decorations, causing fading and aging, and the honeycomb blinds can effectively block most of the ultraviolet rays, reducing the damage to indoor items and extending the service life of the furniture and decorations. After hearing this, Lee said that it was exactly what he had analyzed, and he also intended to buy honeycomb blinds.

I asked him about the size, angle, and details of the 37° angled window. Lee's sunroom had three trapezoidal windows with the following unique features: they were connected to a 37° slanted ceiling; the height of the windows differed by up to 4.5 inches; and there was only a 2.5-inch ultra-thin window frame, so a built-in installation was required. I recommended our custom built-in honeycomb blinds to him and started a renovation journey that exceeded his expectations.

First, I sent Lee the standard method for measuring the blinds and asked him to measure the angle and height to draw a conclusion.

Top angle: 37° ± 0.5°

Left height: 58.25 inches

Right height: 53.75 inches

Window frame depth: 2.4375 inches (ultra-thin built-in hardware to be used)

Second, choose the fabric for the blinds.

I sent Lee the fabric color swatches of our built-in honeycomb blinds and also mailed him fabric samples for him to choose from. After receiving the fabric samples, he selected a semi-shading fabric with a thickness of 26mm, which can block 92% of the ultraviolet rays while maintaining the visibility to the outside. With the light coming in, it's not too glaring, achieving heat insulation and greatly reducing the damage of ultraviolet rays to the furniture.

Third, place the order and make the payment.

Fourth, the factory produces the product and updates the progress in real-time.

During the 13-day production cycle, Lee received daily photos of the production progress, a video of the ultrasonic welding of the slanted top track, and our inspection size report.

Fifth, we provided professional installation guidance and accessories.

We prepared custom gaskets for the uneven window frame for Lee, angled drill bits for the 37° slanted installation surface, and shock-absorbing brackets for the limestone walls. After receiving the goods, he thought we were very considerate and truly took the customers' needs into account.

After more than half a month, Lee finally received the custom built-in honeycomb blinds and installed them. "The precision is incredible," Lee exclaimed. "When the blinds are retracted, it's impossible to tell that they are custom-made – they are just like the built-in design of the architecture. But when I lower them, the effect is completely different."

These two short sentences are a great affirmation of the quality of our honeycomb blinds and a great compliment to our customization service. After the success of the sunroom project, Lee recommended three customers to us. Each project had its unique challenges, and our team delivered perfectly every time. He couldn't help but leave a message on our store, "Don't waste time making do with standard products. With their factory's strength, you can get the solution that your space truly needs – my only regret is that I didn't discover them earlier."

Lee's story proves that our factory has true customization services and is not restricted by retailers. Our years of experience with blinds enable us to deal with the challenges faced by different customers and provide the best solutions.
