We are about to order a load of glazing for our extension, this includes 2 sets of bi-fold doors, probably Origin.
I have asked if its possible to have the glazed units made up with internal Venetian blinds. I have been told the cost of this would be £300 plus vat per bi-fold panel, we have 9 panels so this adds a fair chunk to the cost!
Does £300 plus the dreaded seem a fair price?
If we are going for a manually operated system, is there a manufacturer that would be worth seeking out for a robust, well made system?
We did also look at the Origin motorized blind system that is externally mounted in a cassette, this looks very smart but is very expensive!
Any advice or recommendations would be great!

that's around the price I paid for mine a couple of years ago (uniblind). The price of curtains would be a similar amount, with the added benefit they don't get dusty and are great for heat control if you are south facing as we are.

The best ones are Pelini Screenline system.

£300 per unit seems like a really really good price, they are going to be costing him about £250+VAT per door.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the price is fair then!
