No drill blinds are blinds that fit to your window without screws, drilling or holes. They hold on by clipping into the rubber seal of a uPVC window (perfect fit), fitting inside the window recess (Insta Fit), or sticking to the frame (Easy Stick). At 1ClickBlinds they are made to measure from £9.60 and most fit in minutes.
No drill blinds are ideal if you rent, live in a new build, have tiled or uPVC frames you do not want to damage, or simply do not own a drill. They come off cleanly when you move, so there are no holes to fill and no lost deposit.

How do no drill blinds stay up?
There are three ways no drill blinds hold on without screws:
- Clip-in (perfect fit): small brackets slide between the glass and the rubber seal of a uPVC window. The blind sits in a slim aluminium frame that clicks onto the brackets. This is the strongest no drill fixing and the neatest finish.
- Recess fit (Insta Fit): the blind fits inside the window recess with no screws or drilling. It holds best on solid plaster, wood or tiles, and may not hold as well on plastic.
- Adhesive (Easy Stick): strong adhesive strips bond the blind to a clean, smooth frame. Clean and dry the surface first so it sticks properly.
Fitted to the right window and measured correctly, no drill blinds are just as steady as screw-fit blinds for everyday use.
How to fit no drill blinds
Perfect fit (clip-in) blinds
- Check your window is uPVC with a rubber seal around the glass.
- Ease the seal open with a plastic card and slide a bracket in at each corner.
- Line up the blind frame with the brackets and press until it clicks.
- Open and close the blind and the window to check it moves freely.
Insta Fit no drill roller blinds
- Clean the inside of the recess where the blind will sit.
- Place the blind at the top of the recess and fit it as shown in the instructions.
- Pull the blind down and check it rolls straight. Most fit in about 30 seconds.

Why no drill blinds are great for renters
Most tenancy agreements do not allow holes in walls or window frames. No drill blinds leave no screw holes, fit in minutes and come off cleanly when you move out. Keep the brackets and take your blinds to your next home if the windows are a similar size. Worried about the frame? Read do perfect fit blinds damage window seals?

Frequently asked questions
What are no drill blinds?
No drill blinds are blinds that fit without screws or drilling. They clip into the rubber seal of a uPVC window, fit inside the window recess, or stick to the frame, so they leave no holes.
Do no drill blinds actually work?
Yes. When the fitting suits your window and you measure correctly, no drill blinds stay firmly in place and work just like screw-fit blinds. Problems usually come from the wrong fitting, such as an adhesive blind on a dusty frame.
How do you put up blinds without drilling?
Choose a fitting that suits your window. On uPVC windows, use perfect fit blinds that clip behind the rubber seal. In a solid recess, use Insta Fit roller blinds. On a flat, smooth frame, use Easy Stick blinds.
Are no drill blinds good for uPVC windows?
Yes. uPVC windows are the best match for no drill blinds. Perfect fit brackets clip into the rubber seal without cutting or drilling the frame, and the blind moves with the window.
What are clip in blinds?
Clip in blinds, also called perfect fit blinds, are blinds in a slim frame that clips onto brackets fitted behind the rubber seal of a uPVC window. They sit flat against the glass with no screws.
Can you get no drill blinds for bathrooms?
Yes. Perfect fit metal venetian blinds are a good choice for bathrooms because the aluminium slats wipe clean and the clip-in fixing is not affected by steam. Avoid adhesive fixings in steamy rooms.
Can you get no drill vertical blinds?
Vertical blinds are usually screwed in because the headrail carries long, heavy slats. For patio doors and large uPVC windows without drilling, perfect fit blinds on each glass panel are the better option. Browse our vertical blinds if you can drill.
How much are no drill blinds?
At 1ClickBlinds, Insta Fit no drill roller blinds start from £9.60, made to measure. Perfect fit blinds start from £61.56, and the price depends on the size of your window.
Are no drill blinds blackout?
Many are. Choose a blackout roller fabric, or our no drill honeycomb blackout blinds, which use side channels to stop light gaps at the edges. See all blackout blinds.
Can I fit no drill blinds on tilt and turn windows?
Yes. Perfect fit blinds are fixed to the window itself, so they tilt and open with it and do not get in the way of the handle.
Can you remove no drill blinds?
Yes. Perfect fit blinds unclip and the brackets slide out of the seal. Insta Fit blinds come out of the recess with no screw holes to fill. Both leave no damage, which makes them ideal for renters.
How long do no drill blinds take to fit?
Insta Fit roller blinds take about 30 seconds. Perfect fit blinds take a few minutes per window, with no tools.
