The Stick-On Venetian Blind from Blinds 2go is a 25mm aluminium venetian designed to attach without drilling - fixing directly to the UPVC window frame surface rather than into a wall or ceiling. It comes in 12 finishes and starts from £11.38. The no-drill installation is the defining feature: it makes this range relevant to renters, flat-dwellers with UPVC casements, or anyone who simply wants to avoid putting holes in a frame. The trade-off against a conventionally fitted venetian is worth understanding before ordering.
Who it suits
The stick-on format is designed for UPVC windows where the frame provides a flat surface for the adhesive fixing. It suits renters who cannot alter the fabric of the property, or owners who prefer a reversible installation on UPVC casements. The venetian format - 25mm aluminium slats with a tilt mechanism - suits kitchens, bathrooms, and small rooms where a wipe-clean, light-adjustable blind is practical.
It is less suited to large, heavy windows where the adhesive fixing may not bear the weight of a wider, longer blind without risk of the blind shifting over time. Confirm maximum width and drop limits with Blinds 2go before ordering for a large window. It is also not the right option for wooden or metal-framed windows where the UPVC-suited adhesive fixing may not perform reliably.
For home offices and smaller bedrooms where standard UPVC casements are the norm, the stick-on venetian gives a clean result without any sign of installation - useful where neat presentation matters but drilling is not possible.
The finishes
12 colours available
The twelve finishes break into two sub-ranges visible in the naming. The Studio group covers the neutrals: Jet Black, Caramel, Cornish Cream, Brushed Silver, Space Grey, Pebble Grey, Brushed Pewter, Matte White, and Gloss White. The Essence group covers the blues and mid grey: Blue Bay, Imperial Blue, and Mid Grey. The overall palette is deliberately functional - whites, greys, one warm beige, one black, and two blues. There are no greens, pinks, or bold accent colours.
This restraint suits the practical, installation-led nature of the range. Most renters and flat-dwellers fitting a stick-on venetian are matching neutral schemes rather than making a colour statement. The two white options (matte versus gloss) and the choice between three grey tones give enough variation to match most UPVC frames and interior palettes. All variants are at the same from-price.
Price by your dimensions
Made to measure from £11.38. Check Blinds 2go for the price at your exact window size.
The from-price of £11.38 is at the low end of the made-to-measure aluminium venetian market. The no-drill format does not carry a significant premium over a standard fitted venetian at this price point, which makes it a straightforward choice when drilling simply isn't an option. As with all made-to-measure blinds, price scales with the size ordered.
How it compares
Against a standard drilled 25mm aluminium venetian, the stick-on blind's main advantage is its reversible installation. If that advantage doesn't apply - if you can drill, or if you're fitting to a wall rather than a frame - then a conventionally fitted venetian will give more flexibility on maximum size, a wider colour range, and no uncertainty about the long-term hold of an adhesive fixing.
The Perfect Fit format is an alternative no-drill solution for UPVC double-glazed windows with suitable rubber seals. Perfect Fit blinds clip into a frame that grips the window seal rather than using adhesive. If your UPVC windows have a deep enough recess and compatible rubber gaskets, Perfect Fit venetians may offer a more secure and adjustable fit than a stick-on solution. Confirm which format suits your specific window before ordering either.
For any window where drilling is possible, a wider range of colours and sizes opens up. The Stick-On Venetian is specifically for situations where adhesive installation is the right constraint - it does that job cleanly, within its 12-finish scope.
A note on care
Aluminium slats clean easily with a damp cloth; mild detergent removes kitchen grease. Be careful not to stress the adhesive fixing when cleaning - avoid pulling on the headrail. Dust the slats regularly to avoid build-up, which can make the tilt cord harder to operate over time.
