Reviews

In the binVerified ReviewerTerrible quality it ripped when I tried to take the label off1
BlindsVerified ReviewerAmazing quality, actually look lovely when up. Amazing price!! Lets lots of light in even if closed 5
Amazing product Verified ReviewerI needed a quick solution for moving in and it saved my life. I just hope there were more colours and some sort of lateral insert to prevent light leaking. I also needed another pair of holders, as I cut it in 2, but IKEA doesn’t offer them.5
NiceVerified Reviewereasy to deteriorate, a little resistant but beautiful and cheap4
Better than expectedVerified ReviewerBetter than expected5
Waste of time/moneyVerified ReviewerThe 'clip system' to raise the blind is not fit for purpose if you want to fully raise the blind - the clip can't cope with the full set of pleats. You discover this too late. Get what you pay for I guess, it's cheap for a reason. Looks nice enough in the closed position though.1
Cheap and greatVerified ReviewerWe bought these for our rented place years ago. They were meant to be temporary but we left them up for four years! They had discoloured somewhat by the time we left. We have just bought some more for our new place. They can be cut to size. They can sag a little (stretch out) but for the price they are excellent and provide us with complete privacy downstairs while letting light through5
cheap as chipsVerified Reviewerhow good are these blinds, put it up as a temporary solution and 9 months later it's still up in the guest room5
Temporary blindsVerified ReviewerGreat for temporary use. Easy to attach and use.4
Great Product Verified ReviewerWe love them, they are great for all our windows except bedrooms, we haven't purchased permanent blinds as this one works perfectly. Only thing is the plastic clips are not strong enough to hold it up but we are using big paperclips instead 😀. We are changing them every year and I think we will keep doing it rather than buying those expensive ones. 5
Fab productVerified ReviewerBought for my daughter who works nights. Does what it says. Ideal for quick fix in her rented flat.5
Brilliant productVerified ReviewerVery easy to apply. Looks good too.5
Great value blindVerified ReviewerExcellent value for money. One that helps keep light out & heat in. Easy to install & use. Would recommend5
can not keep it openVerified ReviewerI have misplaced the plastic clips to keep the blind open, and I can not keep the blind open. It was not a good system to start with, now I can not even get spare clips. Not useful at all.1
Easy to fit and looksVerified ReviewerEasy to fit and looks good5
ExcellentVerified ReviewerGreat price value for money Easy to put up5
BlindVerified ReviewerGreat. I'm happy with the product5
AmazingVerified ReviewerI wish I bought it sooner. Great for privacy, for summer sunshine and specially for people working nights. Really easy to put, it takes 2 minutes (I recommend cutting with a very sharp kitchen knife as I saw on you tube). I just wish I could buy the plastic supports, as I made 2 blinds from 1 for two small windows5
Perfect blindVerified ReviewerThis is just the perfect blind to cover kitchen back door glass, thanks IKEA5
Nice look, easy to install,Verified ReviewerNice look, easy to install, only thing I would comment on, would be that connections to hold up, they are flimsy and not much use tbh. But I don't require them, so perfect buy for me.5

Our take on polyester

Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material that is ideal for many home furnishing products like rugs, pillows, quilts and cushions. The downside to virgin polyester is that it is made from oil, coal or natural gas. This means that when we use virgin polyester, we are exhausting the planet’s natural resources. Our response to this, is to replace all virgin polyester with recycled in our products. In 2020, we achieved the milestone of replacing 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products and will accelerate the transformation towards the aim of only using recycled polyester throughout the product range where polyester is used.

Virgin vs recycled polyester

Originally, all polyester was made from oil-based raw materials which are not renewable but we are switching to only using recycled polyester. The good thing is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without negatively affecting the quality of our products. When we make products from recycled polyester, we give a second life to material that is not biodegradable and reduce the amount that may otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean. Instead, PET and other sources of polyester are used to make textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. Recycled polyester is just as good as virgin polyester in terms of looks, quality and function, and produces about 50% less in CO2 emissions. And the material is just as clean and safe in every way.

Some challenges with recycled polyester

Recycled polyester makes us less dependent on oil. The amount we convert, is equal to the amount of virgin fossil fuel we eliminate from our polyester raw material (this excludes potential dyeing and other post recycled polyester production treatments). With some exceptions, the challenge is not the conversion of polyester into recycled itself, but to make it available to everyone by keeping it affordable. Buying low environmental impact products often comes with a higher price tag. We want to change that by working to make recycled polyester products more affordable and accessible to the many people.

Only recycled polyester

IKEA is committed to end the dependency on virgin fossil materials and only use renewable or recycled materials by 2030. We are accelerating this movement for polyester in our range and aim to replace all virgin polyester in our textile products with recycled. In 2020, IKEA replaced 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products with recycled polyester. In volume, this means we converted 130,000 metric tonnes of recycled polyester, and saved 200,000 tonnes of virign polyester. We haven’t reached our 100% goal yet, but we have come far and overcome many obstacles on the way. These volumes make us a leader in converting to recycled polyester and we hope that our decisions can inspire and motivate whole industries to change.

Responsible sourcing

At IKEA, we demand that all recycled polyester used in IKEA products shall come from recyclers that are compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and traceability is secured to the IKEA product through requirements toward the IKEA Suppliers. By only using recycled polyester that meets the Global Recycled Standards we manage to secure social, environmental and chemical practices at the recycler’s production. We believe that the GRS standard is the best standard on the market today. We work with our partners and textile organisations such as Textile Exchange to further improve standards on recycled materials, including traceability of material beyond the recycling units.

Material

What is recycled polyester?

When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles and other sources of polyester get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.

Function solution

Block-out fabric

The block-out fabric effectively blocks out all light. Perfect for people who are sensitive to light during sleep, anytime of the day. It prevents glare on TV’s and digital screens. It offers complete privacy at all hours since people outside cannot see in, even when the room is lit.
