No matter what type of blind you require, measuring your windows is easy with our simple instructions.
When the blinds are required to fit inside the window recess.
Select this option if you wish to supply the size of the recess into which the blinds will fit. To provide this measurement, select "inside recess" as the measurement option. This will require measurement of the window in 3 places, as shown to the right; please provide us with the smallest measurement.
On all blinds except Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we will deduct a small amount to ensure the blinds clear the sides and bottom of the recess, allowing for correct operation. We will make a deduction of 10mm from the width, 5mm off each side and up to 10mm from the drop. On Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we only allow approximately 2mm deduction on width measurement as this will lessen the fabric gap.
This is a guide with an understanding that the minimum depth for the bracket may mean that the blinds and bracket will sit outside the window recess.

Double Roller Blinds | 30mm - 100mm |

Depending on if your blind is face fit or recess fit place the brackets in position, with a pencil mark the surface of the wall or window recess to indicate where to drill screw holes. Brackets should be no more than 100mm either end, and spread intermediately across the width approx 900mm apart. Brackets will be supplied for either recess or face fix as specified when ordering.
If face fit be sure to check length to locate brackets are set at the correct height
When you are happy that you have correct positions for the brackets pre drill the screw holes and fix brackets securely.
Locate track in the rear lug of bracket and tighten short screw.
Check alignment of carriers and rotate to open position, attach slats to carriers so that the slats hang in the open position. If required install weights into the bottom slat hem and attach chain to both sides of weights
If you have a chain/cord control secure the safety cleat supplied, firmly to the wall at the appropriate position to keep tension on the control chain and avoid a choking hazard. It is important to keep chains and cords safely away from children your new blind will have a safety warning tag attached please read carefully and do not remove.
To operate your new blind use chain or wand control to open, close and rotate using a steady tension and movement and avoid jerking or tugging of the chain or wand.
Blockout Fabrics, as the name suggests are designed to ‘block-out’ the harsh, fading sunlight when needed. They are ideal for rooms in which persons need to sleep or where there are paintings or furniture which could be damaged by hard sunlight.
Translucent refers to fabrics which allow in the natural light but do not allow you to see the outside view through them. They function much like opaque glass. The light comes in but they provide excellent privacy.
Sunscreen Fabrics are designed to allow outside vision into the room or area they’re shielding but reduce the amount of heat and glare which gets in. They’re ideal for areas where you want to enjoy light all year around but want to maximise the capacity to shade in Summer, in particular.
