INSIDE MOUNT
STANDARD WINDOW – INSIDE MOUNT – BLIND IS FITTED INSIDE THE WINDOW OPENING
It is an industry standard for Roman blinds fitting into the window reveals to sit flush with the front of the reveal. The factory will make the appropriate deductions for the product type and fixing position.
FACTORY STANDARD DEDUCTIONS
INSIDE MOUNT WIDTH DEDUCTION 10mm
INSIDE MOUNT DROP DEDUCTION 5mm
When drawn up the Roman Blind folds will sit back further than the head rail. This will vary depending on the drop and style of the Blind and could be as much as 70mm.
Ensure that the reveal is deep enough.
WIDTH
- Measure neat internal width of reveal
- Measure at three width points – top, middle and base of reveal.
- Use shortest width measurement as blind will be drawing up the length of the reveal and may rub or jam at narrowest point if the wider measurement is used.
DROP
- Measure neat internal drop of the reveal.
- Measure at three drop points – left, middle and right of reveal.
Use the shortest drop measurement.
Note
When fully drawn up the roman blind will stack up to an approximate depth of between 300mm to 450mm. This will vary according to the blind drop and the operation system.
