How to measure

For Recess (Inside the Recess)

Measure the exact wall-to-wall width and drop inside your window recess in three places (left, centre, right / top, middle, bottom), then enter the smallest width and drop into the personalisation box.

We’ll deduct 1cm from your width to ensure a snug fit with the brackets.

For Exact (Outside the Recess)

Measure your desired blind width and drop, then enter those exact figures into the personalisation box. We won't make any deductions from the sizes given.

Exact measuring

For Bay Windows

Bay windows need special care—account for each blind’s projection so they meet cleanly. We suggest ordering as a “Recess” fit; we’ll deduct an extra 1cm to give side-by-side clearance.

Angled Bay

Create 65mm cardboard “bracket” samples, place them where each blind will go (around handles/vents), and mark their meeting points.

Angled bay measuring

Use the widths between your marked points to order. We’ll still deduct 1cm for clearance.

Square/Box Bay

Decide if you’d like brackets to meet in each corner (smaller gap) or one big blind with overlaps on the sides. Use cardboard templates again to find meeting points.

How to Fit

Your blind will arrive with box brackets that can be:

  • Top-fixed to the lintel or ceiling
  • Face-fixed onto a wall or frame
  • Side-fixed to the sides of your recess if opting for a recess fit

Simply install the brackets using suitable rawl plugs and screws for the surface you’re fitting to, slot the headrail into place and secure into the brackets, then attach the pelmet using the clips provided.

Fitting

Note: Blinds over 100cm wide will come with support brackets to be placed in between the two box brackets for extra support. The wider the blind, the more support brackets you will receive. Take care to place these support brackets where they will not obstruct the blind mechanisms.

CHILD SAFETY

All our blinds comply with the British Blinds and Shutter Association’s strict guidelines regarding child safety and are tested to meet the regulations outlined in the British and European safety standard EN 13120:2009 + A1:2014. The BBSA is a British-only trade association representing companies that manufacture and supply interior and exterior blinds, awnings, security grills and shutters. The Association has always taken a leading role in encouraging the highest possible standards of product, service and safety.

As part of our compliance to these regulations and to make sure that our blinds are out of reach of children, all the chains and cords provided with our products will be made at a maximum length of one metre.

You MUST fit the safety device we provide in order to tie up the pull cord safely out of the way of children, vulnerable persons and pets.

Even when the safety device is fitted, we recommend that you move beds, cots and furniture away from any window.
