Recess ﬁtting

Measure the full width and height of the recess [the size of the hole if you like] and we will make the appropriate deductions to ensure a perfect fit.

[row_inner v_align=”middle” h_align=”center”]

[col_inner span=”2″ span__sm=”12″]

[ux_image id=”6088″]

[/col_inner]
[col_inner span=”10″ span__sm=”12″]

Measure in 3 places for both the width and the drop. For the width, compare the measurement at the top of the recess with the smallest of the measurements you’ve taken – if the difference between those is less than 25mm, use the measurement at the top of the recess. If it is not, use the smallest
Don’t make any deductions, we’ll deduct from the width to ensure your blind fits perfectly (3mm for standard & double rollers, 10mm for Enjoy & Illusion).
Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements

Top-Tip:

Check that your recess is deep enough to fit the blind into, also bearing in mind any obstructions such as handles (see table).

Exact ﬁtting

Measure the full width and height of the recess [the size of the hole if you like] and add a little extra to the top and to each side, we will make the blind to the size you specify with no deductions

[col_inner span=”2″ span__sm=”12″]

[ux_image id=”6083″]

[/col_inner]
[col_inner span=”10″ span__sm=”12″]

To minimize light leakage we recommend that the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm each side

The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators

Part-tiled recesses

If you have tiles part-way up your recess (often the case in kitchens and bathrooms) then the space between them is most likely to be the narrowest point in the recess.

[row_inner v_align=”middle” h_align=”center”]

[col_inner span=”7″ span__sm=”12″]

[ux_image id=”6085″]

[/col_inner]
[col_inner span=”5″ span__sm=”12″]

Measure at the top of the recess and between the tiles. Compare the two measurements; if the difference is less than 25mm, use the measurement from the top of the recess.

If it is not, use the width between the tiles. You will need to top-fix or face-fix your blind if this is the case.

Unique Features

[/ux_text]

When you choose exact fitting for a roller blind you are given two further options, either fabric width or bracket-to-bracket width (these options are not available for Enjoy or Illusion roller blinds).

[row_inner width=”custom” v_align=”middle” h_align=”center”]

[col_inner span=”6″ span__sm=”12″ align=”center”]

Fabric Width

[ux_image id=”6084″ width=”35″]

Fabric width is exactly as it sounds, the width of the fabric itself. We don’t recommend measuring for fabric width if you’re ﬁtting the blind inside a recess.

[/col_inner]
[col_inner span=”6″ span__sm=”12″ align=”center”]

Bracket-to-Bracket Width

[ux_image id=”6082″ width=”31″]

Bracket-to-bracket width is the full width of the blind including the fittings. This is approximately 35mm wider than the width of the fabric.

Unique Features

[/ux_text]

Some of our wooden and Venetian blinds come with a decorative pelmet, or valance, which covers the headrail. The blinds that come with pelmets are:

Real wood blinds
Faux wood blinds
Synergy Venetian blinds

The pelmet is cut to the size and shape that is most suitable for the fitting type you’ve chosen:

[row_inner width=”custom” v_align=”equal” h_align=”center”]

[col_inner span=”6″ span__sm=”12″ align=”center”]

Pelmets for Recess Fitting

[ux_image id=”6087″ width=”50″]

If you choose recess fitting we will make the pelmet for your blind slightly wider than the blind itself so that the pelmet is a tight fit at the top of the recess and to prevent gaps.

[/col_inner]
[col_inner span=”6″ span__sm=”12″ align=”center”]

Pelmets for Exact Fitting

[ux_image id=”6086″ width=”50″]

If you choose exact fitting we will make your pelmet a few centimetres wider than the blind and include side returns, so that the brackets are not visible either side.
