1. Inside Recess

Make sure that the recess is at least 6cm deep.
Otherwise the blind will protrude beyond the recess.

1. You need to measure width A-B. We need this measurement in full; do not reduce it.There will be a gap of about 1.5cm between the fabric and the recess wall which will allow some light through, even with a blackout lining.
2. Measure drop C-D
3. Note which side you would like the chain – right or left

2. Outside Recess

Decide on the amount of fabric to overlap the top and sides of the window recess. We recommend at least 5cm for the top and 6.5cm for the sides to minimise light leakage when using a blackout lining.

1. Measure the width A-B
2. Measure the drop C-D
3. Note which side you would like the chain – right or left

3. Fixed to Window Architrave (Frame)

 First, decide whether you want your roller blind to hang on the outside or inside of the window architrave.

1. Measure the width A-B
2. Measure the drop C-D

3. Decide which side you would like the chain – right or left

Supersize Samples
If you need to see more of your fabric before you buy, you can get a supersize sample (40x40cm) and we'll refund the cost when you return it to us in the pre-paid envelope we provide.  If you’re in London, please visit our showroom where you can see larger pieces of fabric and browse our fabric book collections and take away as many samples as you’d like.

Real fabric not plastic
We use real fabric when making our roller blinds, so they won’t have a plastic look unlike most roller blinds.  The fabric of your choice is laminated onto a lining layer which stiffens it and keeps it flat so it rolls up and down well on the roller mechanism.

Standard Roll and Reverse Roll
On a ‘standard’ roll, the fabric rolls off the back of the roll nearer the window pane, with the lining showing on the blind barrel. We recommend you choose ‘standard’ roll if you're concerned about light filtering into the room through the sides of the blinds.

On a ‘reverse’ roll, the fabric rolls off the front of the roll with the fabric showing on the blind barrel. The front of the blind is approximately 6cm from the window. This blind is not suitable if you are concerned about light filtering into the room through the sides of the blind.

I just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with my blinds. They have been made beautifully and fit so well. They were also packaged so well. Thank you very much and I will certainly be recommending you.

The blinds are lovely thank you. So nice to have them with real fabric rather than the more usual plastic stuff. The curtains are also making a huge difference to the warmth of the room they are in.
