Roller Blind Only Measurement – Inside the Window Recess

To fit your blind inside the recess, you must measure the full width and height of the recessed area (from wall to wall).

Take three measurements across the width of the recess – at the top, middle, and bottom of the window. Then take three measurements down the height – on the left, in the centre, and on the right side.

Guide for Inside Recess Fitting

• Always use a steel tape measure to ensure precise readings, measuring in centimetres to the nearest millimetre.
• Record measurements in three specific places for both width and height, then use the smallest figure when placing your order.
• The factory will apply any required deductions for “recess fit blinds” so the blind fits correctly.
• Be careful of obstructions such as tiles, handles, or rails that could affect the accuracy of your measurements.

Outside the Window Recess

For blinds fitted outside the recess, the blind will be made to the exact measurements you provide, with no deductions.

Guide for Outside Recess Fitting

• Measure the full area you want the blind to cover. To block sunlight effectively, it is recommended to allow an overlap of 6 cm on each side and 7 cm at the top.
• Check for any obstacles such as tiles or rails that could affect the fitting.
• It is your choice whether to extend the blind past the bottom of the window.

When fitting, you can choose between top mount and face mount options:

• Top mount: Fixed to an overhead surface such as the ceiling or the top of the window recess.
• Face mount: Fixed to the wall or directly onto the window frame.

Ensure the brackets are positioned so the blind can move freely without catching on handles or the window frame. Place both brackets loosely onto the blind and hold it in position to mark the correct location before fixing.

• Position the control-side bracket on the same side as the chain mechanism. Mark and drill holes for the first bracket, ensuring it is level to avoid the blind operating incorrectly. Fix the bracket securely using wall plugs if needed.
• Insert one end of the blind into the mounted bracket. Place the second bracket onto the other end of the blind and mark its position so that it is level with the first. Drill holes and fix the second bracket securely.

Mounting the Blind

• Insert the pin end of the blind into the pin-side bracket. This pin has a spring mechanism to make mounting and removal simple.
• Insert the control end into the control-side bracket. The lug on the control mechanism should face downward and slot into the bracket securely.

Operating the Blind

Once installed, use the side chain to raise and lower the blind smoothly.

Child Safety – P-Clip Installation

The safety device must be installed as far away from the control mechanism as possible to prevent the chain loop from becoming slack.

• Place the chain inside the P-clip. Ensure the chain is tight with the P-clip fixed at the bottom of the loop so the chain moves correctly.
• Secure the tensioning device to the wall, aligned with the end of the blind, keeping the chain permanently under tension for safety.
