Roller Blind Guide
Measuring Guide
General Measuring Tips
- Use a metal tape measure for accurate measurements.
- Always measure in millimetres.
- Decide whether you want the blinds to hang inside the window recess or outside the frame.
- Check for obstructions like adjacent walls, furniture, or window handles.
Recess Fit – Inside Mount
This option allows the blind to fit neatly within the window recess for a polished look.
Steps to Measure:
- Measure the width of the recess (wall to wall) in three places.
- Record the shortest measurement.
- Measure the drop (top of recess to window sill) in three places.
- Record the shortest measurement.
Important Notes:
- A standard factory allowance of 5 mm will be made.
- There will be a 10-15 mm gap on each side of the width due to the space between the bracket and fabric edge. (Refer to the fitting diagram for clarification.)
Face Fit – Outside Mount
This option is ideal for covering unattractive architraves and creating the illusion of larger windows.
Steps to Measure:
- Measure the desired width of the blind.
- Measure the drop from the top of where you want the blind to the bottom.
- To minimise light gaps and maximise privacy, ensure the blind overlaps the recess by at least 50 mm on all sides.
Important Notes:
- No allowances will be made. The blind will be manufactured to the exact sizes provided.
Roller Blind Options
1. Standard Roll:
- Fabric rolls from the back, sitting close to the window or architrave for maximum light control.
- Ideal for blackout blinds but may obstruct window handles.
2. Reverse Roll:
- Fabric rolls from the front, providing clearance for window handles.
- Allows more light to enter through gaps, making it less suitable for bedrooms or theatre rooms.
Control Options
-
Chain Control: Provides precise control for raising or lowering blinds.
- Available in metal, white, black, grey and silver.
- Chain Controls can be positioned on either the left or right side of the blind.
Installation Guide
1. Bracket Placement:
- Both brackets are identical. Rotate one 180° so the back plates align. Ensure brackets are level.
2. Fabric Attachment:
- Fix the fabric to the pre-taped roller and insert the control mechanism on either side.
3. Bracket Installation:
- Secure the control mechanism into the bracket using the cross-cut design.
4. Final Steps:
- Insert the end plug into the opposite side and secure it into the bracket.
- Attach end caps to the bottom bar for a finished look.
