The Como Blackout Perfect Fit Roller Blind is a no-drill made-to-measure blackout roller from So Easy Blinds, offered in 18 finishes and designed specifically for UPVC double-glazed windows. It clips into the window's rubber seal using a Perfect Fit frame rather than brackets screwed into the recess, and the retailer describes the fabric as blackout. The from-price of £119.95 reflects the Perfect Fit mechanism, which costs more than a standard roller fitting but removes the need for drilling entirely.
Who it suits
The Como is built around the Perfect Fit system, which means it works only on UPVC (PVC-U) windows with a compatible rubber gasket seal. If your windows are timber-framed or aluminium-framed, this blind is not the right choice - check with So Easy Blinds about compatibility before ordering.
For those with the right windows, Perfect Fit is particularly useful in rented properties where drilling isn't permitted, and in rooms where the fitted look matters: the blind sits within the window frame and leaves no visible brackets or fixings. Bedrooms are the natural home for a blackout Perfect Fit roller - the close fit to the frame reduces the edge-leak that standard fittings allow, so the blackout result tends to be more effective than with a conventionally mounted blind. That makes the Como a reasonable option for shift workers, light sleepers, and parents of young children who need genuine darkness.
It is less suited to living rooms and kitchens where light-filtering or dimout fabric would be preferable for daytime use, or to any room where the window type rules out the Perfect Fit system.
The finishes
18 colours available
The 18 finishes carry evocative one-word names rather than colour descriptors: Balance, Bare, Bliss, Curious, Deep, Drama, Harbour, Harmony, Impact, Kiss, Nomad, Nurture, Rise, Sense, Skies, Sorbet, Space, and Tranquil. Without colour swatches in hand, the names give limited guidance, so we'd suggest reviewing So Easy Blinds' own imagery for each finish before ordering - names like Deep, Drama, and Midnight imply darker shades, while Bare, Bliss, and Tranquil suggest lighter tones, but confirm this directly.
The categories indicate the range runs to blue tones among others, which aligns with names like Skies, Harbour, and Space. The range appears to be all standard-priced - no variants are listed as carrying a premium above the base from-price.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £119.95. Check So Easy Blinds for the price at your exact window size.
With a from-price of £119.95, the Como sits at the upper end of the roller blind market compared with standard-mounted blackout rollers. The premium reflects the Perfect Fit mechanism. As dimensions increase, price will rise - that is standard for made-to-measure. Measure the window itself rather than the recess for Perfect Fit; So Easy Blinds will advise on the exact measurement method for this product.
How it compares
The Como's key differentiator is the fitting system, not the fabric. A standard blackout roller at a lower from-price will achieve similar fabric opacity, but will leave a small gap around the edges where the brackets sit - and that gap lets light in. The Perfect Fit frame, sitting flush against the window seal, closes that gap and produces a notably better blackout result in practice.
The trade-off is window compatibility: Perfect Fit is only an option for UPVC-framed windows. If your bedroom has older timber windows or aluminium frames, a standard blackout roller with a face-fix bracket that overlaps the recess edges - or side-channel fittings - is the practical alternative for minimising edge-leak.
For anyone who wants no drilling, rents their home, or has UPVC windows and needs reliable daytime darkness, the Como addresses all three requirements in a single product. For those who don't need the Perfect Fit system specifically, a standard blackout roller at a lower price point will do the same fabric job.
Fittings for this fabric
The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:
- Standard from £60.29 fixed with drilled brackets
- Perfect Fit from £119.95 a clip-in frame for UPVC windows and doors
No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
