Can I cut my window blinds?

by Ana
(New York)

I bought a set of window shades and it turns out they are about 1/2″ to an inch too big for my window. Can I cut it myself to size, or go somewhere to have that done? They are about 2″ thick, plastic.

Please advise

Can I cut my window blinds?

Hi Ana

I can’t say without knowing what kind of window shades they are. So if you post a comment at the end of this post then I will try and help.

Best regards

    I recently had a similar problem in my apartment! I tried to be the “handy-man” and do it all myself and ended butchering the shades I had bought :( I ended up doing some research and found that some local companies are willing to give some advice, if you ask the right questions, and also found some relatively cheap customized options around me. Sometimes it’s better off having this taken care of by someone who knows what they are doing!
