Selecting
your Blind
Which
room are you putting your wooden blind in?
What
slat finish do you prefer?
All
slats are clearly labeled with the name, and sizes available. Always
remember that being a natural product, there will be slight shade variations
from the samples shown
What
slat size is best for you?
Think
firstly about the depth of your window recess. While most will take
the 50mm blind with lots of room to spare, other may be rather narrower.
Bear in mind also that when your blind is pulled up, the 25mm option
will have a greater stack size than its 50mm equivalent. This means
that when your blind
is pulled up more of the glazed area will be covered.
Where
do you want the blind controls fitted?
As you face the
blind decide whether you would like your controls on the left or right
hand side .Choose now to ensure you get the best option for your
window.
Do
you want your blind to be fitted inside or outside the window recess?
Generally, blinds
are fitted into the window recess, in which case the pelmet required
to neatly finish the top of the blind, is a single, straight piece.
However, if you require your blind fitted outside the recess, the pelmet
you require will have a mitred return on both ends so that the entire
headrail mechanism is neatly covered. Please be sure to specify this
clearly.
If
you have taken your window measurements yourself, are you sure they
are accurate?
|
If you have
opted to have your blind fitted inside the recess,
you need to record the exact width and drop. As variations
may occur within the window recess, you should take the width
and drop measurements in three places - the sides and in the
middle - and record the shortest of the three widths and the
longest of the three drops.
This means
that your blind will not snag on the sides of the recess and will
be a perfect length to the sill. Please always give measurements
in millimeters.
Be aware of
any handles or other window furniture which would
affect the smooth operation of your blind.
Measuring
for a blind to be fitted outside the recess could not
be simpler. Decide how much overlap you want at the sides, top
and bottom and add these to your measurements. Please record sizes
in millimeters.
