- Measure at various places (J,K,L) as illustrated and input the shortest width dimension.
- Measure at various places (G,H,I) as illustrated and input the longestshortest drop dimension.
- Verify you have 35mm inside top wall recess available for blind head rail to be mounted onto. ( Z )
Note: We will make your blind to fit into the recess perfectly. Do not make any deductions to the measurements as our factory will make the allowances required for recessed blinds.
Tips!
- We recommend using a metric metal tape measure and take the exact measurements to the millimetre.
- Always double check your measurements.

Types of Blinds
Blinds come in two different kinds, which will suit different needs. Do you want the blind to fit inside the window (Recess) or outside (Facefix)?
Outside (Facefix) blinds are easier to install, ideal if you want to hide features around the window and does not require exact measuring.
Inside (Recess) blinds provides a neat appearance, but requires exact measuring and a top recess large enough to accommodate the size of the head rail.

Sonia M. (verified owner) –
The separate piece that came with the blinds that is presumably to go in front of the top part (with the controller) is about 3cm wider than the blinds, which means it doesn’t fit in the window. There is also no instruction on how to attach this piece?
roule v. (verified owner) –
Valence attachment needs improvement
