Product Description

Aluwood is aluminium wood look blinds available in 25mm & 50mm. An alternative to wooden blinds, but more cost effective. Aluwood blinds are very similar to the traditional venetian blinds but with a wood grain finish. Used in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture would be a problem for wooden blinds. Ideal where sun is a real problem throughout the day.

Usually 8 to 10 days manufacturing before dispatch.

*25mm Aluminium blinds do not include pelmets, 50mm includes pelmets.

Includes:

  • Premium blind with aluminium head rail and pelmet/valance.
  • Pelmets for Recess fit are cut 10mm longer than the
    headrail. Client will need to trim for perfect fit.
  • One year factory warranty.

How to Measure your Blinds

How to measure Inside (Recess) blinds:
  • Ensure that the recess your blinds is going into is not obstructed in any way so the blind can hang freely when fully extended. Look out for protruding window handles and tiles!
  • Verify you have 70mm inside top wall recess available for the blind head rail to be mounted onto – refer to illustration to the left.
  • 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 longest drop dimension.
  • Verify you have 70mm 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.

How to Measure your Blinds

How to measure Outside (Facefix) blinds:
  • Decide how much you want to overlap the blind on all sides - we recommend this should be at least 50mm - 100mm each side in most instances.
  • Carefully measure the width of D, E and F (see the diagram) and the drop from A, B and C.
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.
