Outdoor PVC Roller 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 longestshortest 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.

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.

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.

What is the difference between Pulley & Rope vs Crank vs Automation?

• Pulley & Rope – Most cost effective option, ropes are used to raise and lower the roller blind into position.
• Crank – Gear driven crank that utilises detachable turning pole to raise and lower blind into position.
• Automation – Roller blind controlled by wireless remote to raise and lower blind. Motor will require a plug point power(240v) to be provided (input power situated by mounting top bracket).

Perquisites to installation:

• 120mm width required within the lintel for the roller mounting brackets for Crank and Automation. Rope & pulley only require 60mm for baton.
• Brackets or Rope & Pulley baton need to be mounted level – if lintel not level consider placing spacers between lintel and bracket to level the roller.
• Lintel should be structurally sound and capable of holding outdoor roller weight
• Mounting screws/bolts not included. 12mm raw bolts required.
• Automation blinds require 240v input power.
