Great quality blinds that are easy to install
The blinds are very easy to put together and install and they fit perfectly. They do a great job of blocking out the sun and keeps our bedroom cooler because of that.

Deanne, thanks for sharing this. We’re glad the blinds were easy to put together, fit well, and are helping keep the bedroom cooler by blocking out the sun.
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and we’re happy to hear the install and final result both went smoothly.

Product arrived exactly as ordered
Product arrived exactly as ordered; although I would do 1-2cm less to have enough space to snuggle into the window frame. Ordered the exact dimensions of window and it a bit tight. Took 4 weeks to arrive with expedited service. Not willing to wait a month to knock off 1 cm on a replacement.

Alex, thanks for the honest feedback. We’re glad the blind arrived as ordered, though we can see how a fit that tight would be frustrating, especially after waiting four weeks for expedited delivery.
One important note for anyone reading: we recommend submitting the exact window measurements and not making your own deductions, since the sizing allowance is accounted for during production. If the finished fit still feels too tight, that’s something our team should review rather than having you automatically reduce the measurements yourself.
We also hear you on the delivery time. If expedited service still took that long, that’s fair feedback and something we need to take seriously.

Short and sweet, but we’ll take it 😄 We’re glad the fit came out right and that the blinds are giving you the darkness you were looking for.

Zero light
Zero light - I work night shift as a patrol officer. So getting back home at 5:00am to sleep for the day means I need a completely dark room. Guard Blinds does just that.
It’s also very easy to install which was a nice plus.

Bill, this is exactly the kind of use case we love hearing about. Getting home at 5:00am after a night shift and being able to sleep in a properly dark room can make such a difference.
We’re really glad the blinds are doing the job for you, and that installation was straightforward too.
Thanks for sharing this, and hope you’re getting some well-earned daytime sleep.

Extremely difficult to return if you get a defective blind! You will go around and around and around with customers service emailing with picture and picture after picture to show the defective item! And never get solution!

Ahmed, we’re sorry this has turned into such a frustrating back-and-forth. If you’ve already sent multiple photos showing the defect, you shouldn’t feel like you’re being asked to prove the same issue over and over without getting a clear answer.
We’ve sent you a request for information through Trustpilot so we can get your order number and email address and match this review to your existing case. Once we have that, we’ll review what’s already been submitted, what troubleshooting has been completed, and where the case stalled so we can move it toward a proper resolution instead of starting the process again.
We appreciate you giving us the chance to take another look at this and get it moving in the right direction.

There are still some companies with Excellent Customer Service
Thank goodness there are still some companies out there with excellent customer service. I made a mistake when I placed my order and Guard Blinds was very responsive and helped me through correcting the error that I made. They were very kind and helpful. And the product works very well. I’m super happy with this purchase. Highly recommend!

Very effective, quick and easy installation, quality seems good. They aren’t cheap and a small bit stiffer to open them I was expecting but overall happy with the purchase and will most likely purchase again

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad the blinds are doing the job well and that installation was quick and straightforward.
We also hear you on the opening feeling a bit stiffer than expected, especially at this price point. It’s good to know you’re still happy with the purchase overall and would consider ordering again.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and the part that could be better.

Massive improvement to our life!
Installation fairly easy (3.6m blinds did require additional screw support above supplied and uneven window plastering caused some issues- I probably measured a little tight..
Overall though delighted with my blinds - they are a good quality construction. Room is cooler and 100% dark. Now all I notice is the gap under my bedroom door!
Sleep has definitely improved!

Colin, this was a great one to read. A cooler room, full darkness, and better sleep is a pretty big payoff.
It also sounds like your installation had a couple of extra challenges with the larger blind and the uneven plastering, so we’re glad you were able to get everything working well in the end.
And the gap under the bedroom door becoming the new problem made us smile. Thanks for sharing such a detailed review.

A quality product
I bought these blinds for my husband’s after seeing an on social media—they work exactly as advertised! I am happy that my husband can rest better without daylight disturbing him and we are very pleased with our purchase. So much so, that we intend to purchase a second set for another bedroom. These blinds do not disappoint.

Absolutely worth every penny
Absolutely worth every penny! The blinds actually block all of the light coming through my window. My window is too large for other blackout shades, except for the ones that require screwing something into the frame. I rent so that wasn’t an option. Finding these shades was a complete gamechanger for me. Not only are they super effective, but the installation was easy and they look great!

Kristy, this is so good to hear. Finding a true blackout option for a large window without having to drill into the frame can be tricky, especially when you’re renting.
We’re really glad the blinds gave you the darkness you wanted, were easy to install, and looked good once they were up.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. We really appreciate it.

Great blinds for the price
Great blinds. Very easy to install. Total blackout. A couple of tips:
- Leave a bit of space because the weather seal and brush strip add thickness
- Brush strip should be behind the weather strip I got confused by the install instructions and installed it backwards the first time

Elan, thanks for the detailed feedback. We’re glad the blinds were easy to install overall and that you’re getting the total blackout you were looking for.
The note about the weather seal and brush strip is especially useful. If the instructions made that part confusing the first time around, that’s something we should take on board and make clearer.
Really appreciate you sharing the tips along with your experience.

Great blackout blinds!
Blinds were very precise in size. I did not use or need the weather stripping, it fit perfect to my measurements. Assembly was straight forward without issue and simple. My blinds opened top down. The only deficiency I noted was because of the top down open and close, the magnets were not strong enough to maintain closure. That would not have been an issue if they were side to side opening. I would encourage for larger guard blinds like the ones I purchased to either be made with stronger magnetic strips or have an option to purchase stronger magnetic strips, which is what I ended up installing. The structure, color, and size are on point! Very excited about the blinds, they look great, and when closed they completely block any light as promised. I will be purchasing more in the future... great product!

Vincent, thanks for such a detailed review. We’re really glad the sizing was spot on, the assembly was straightforward, and the blinds are giving you the full blackout you were looking for.
Your feedback on the top-down setup and the magnets is especially helpful. It’s useful to hear where the design worked well and where you felt it could be stronger, particularly on larger blinds. We’ll make sure that feedback is passed along.
Really appreciate you sharing both the good and the part that could be improved, and it’s great to hear you’d still purchase more in the future.

These blinds are a dream come true
These blinds are a dream come true. When i ordered them, I knew they were guaranteed to be replaced if I had measured wrong, so there was no concern that I would lose money. They are custom made to fit and they fit perfectly. They are also a great value and worth every penny. They are the best blackout item I've ever tried. Absolutely no light comes through them. They are easy to open and close. They were easy to install which makes them one of my best purchases all year. Thank you, Guard Blinds for such an amazing product.

I love the produc idea and use
I love the produc idea and use. it funcion really well and serves the purpose. But I think for the price, the materials are a bit weak, and the fold part is going to absorve dust and be hard to clean.
I am going to buy again because i need it, but please take my words in consideration to upgrade the product.
Thanks for you big idea

Excellent Blind and Customer Service
Would thoroughly recommend Guard 2 blinds. I was buying for a replacement blind for our main bedroom. The initial blind did not fit, totally caused by a mistake I made entering the measurements. Customer service was incredible in working through the issue and arranging a replacement. The replacement fits perfectly!
Unlike the blind that I was replacing which had been screwed in the window frame recess and therefore require significant repair work on removal, the no-drill push installation is an absolute pleasure.

Gerry, thank you for sharing this. We’re really glad our team could help turn the initial measurement mistake into a replacement that fits properly.
And we’re especially happy to hear the no-drill installation made such a difference compared with the blind you were replacing. Not having to deal with screws or repair work afterward is a big plus.
Thanks again for the recommendation and for giving Guard 2 a try.
