No drill blinds - any experiences?

[8-P]

Hi All

I’m considering fitting a roller blind into a bathroom and due to tiles and previous nightmare experience of lintels and getting a strong fixture in place I thought I’d look at no drill blinds.

My worry is just how well it will stay fixed. I don’t want my clumsy daughter yanking the cord with zero mechanical sympathy and it coming crashing down every 5 mins. So do they work ? Any good places to get the with the best fitting mechanism?

Thanks

Could you use some kind of Command strips to stick extra support to where it contacts the tiles eg a 2cm block of wood underneath the contact point once the strut (or whatever the blind rolls off is called) is forced against the tile?

we have a couple, both from blinds2go.

one is a "click" in style where a little handle pushes up and expands into the opening, that has not moved in 2 years and we've had a very fat cat destroy and go through it multiple times.

another is a 190cm wide roller with round "press" fit fitting and that has slipped a couple of times but I've adjusted it a bit and it's been solid for a few months now.

all in, I'd recommend them.

I'm in the trade, look at the Louvolite " Grip Fit" system.

Thanks I think we’ve bought blinds from them beforehand

Came here to say the same. White venetian blind above the kitchen sink from Blinds2go. Delighted with it. Daily use and hasn't moved a mill.
