INSIDE MOUNT

STANDARD WINDOW – INSIDE MOUNT – BLIND IS FITTED INSIDE THE WINDOW OPENING

It is industry standard for blinds fitting into the window reveal to sit flush with the front of the reveal. The factory will make the appropriate deductions for the product type and fixing position.

WIDTH

Measure neat width at 3 points. Use shortest width.	Measure neat drop at 3 points

• Measure neat internal width of reveal
• Measure at three width points – top, middle and base of reveal. This will be the bracket to bracket measurement. Use the shortest width.

DROP

• Measure at three drop points – left, middle and right of reveal.
• It is not critical to use the shortest drop for this product but client should be advised if window is "out of square". Blinds can only be made square so if window is out of square it may result in irregular light gaps around the blind. Advise your client.

Note – The blind fabric (skin) will be narrower than the bracket to bracket measurement. Refer to “Side/Light Gap” notes in Specifications. If blind is an inside mount there will be light gaps on each side of blind. Advise your client.

OUTSIDE MOUNT – Blind Fitting Onto Architrave

STANDARD WINDOW – OUTSIDE MOUNT – BLIND FITTING ONTO ARCHITRAVE

WIDTH

Measure width at 3 points Use largest width	Measure drop at 3 points Use longest drop

• Measure from outside edge of architrave to outside edge of opposite architrave at three points – top, middle and base.
• Use the largest width measurement.

DROP

• Measure from top of architrave to base of lower architrave or floor. Measure at three drop points.
• Use the longest drop measurement.

Note – the blind fabric (skin) will be narrower than the bracket to bracket measurement. Refer to "Side/Light Gap" notes in Specifications. Some architrave will be visible on each side of blind.

Outside Mount – Blind Fitting onto Wall

This will occur in situations where there is no architrave or when you wish to reduce the amount of window area that will be covered by the stack up of the blind.

WIDTH

• Measure minimum of 50mm past each side of window opening

DROP

• If fitting blind into plaster or concrete – measure minimum of 70mm above window opening to a minimum of 50mm below window opening or to the floor.

If fitting blind into brick – measure from top of first brick to a minimum of 50mm below window opening or to the floor.

Option Two

INSIDE MOUNT CORNER WINDOW

• Follow standard measuring principles.

Check that the reveal is deep enough to fit the roller system that you are using. Refer to the Projection notes in Specifications. Check for anything that may impede operation of blind e.g. window locks. 

OPTION ONE (Through Blind)

• Determine which window is the main window from a privacy, light block or aesthetic reason. This will be the “through” blind, as the gap between the blinds will sit in front of the window that the “butt” blind covers.
• Measure at front of reveal.
• Measure the width of Blind 1 from point A to B
• Measure the width of Blind 2 from point C to D to the front of the reveal. Both blinds will sit flush with the front of the reveal. 

OPTION TWO (Butting Blinds)

• Measure at front of reveal.
• Measure the width of Blind 1 from point A to B
• Measure the width of Blind 2 from point C to D to the front of the reveal. Both blinds will sit flush with the front of the reveal.

Note -

• Reverse roll will provide better coverage and a smaller corner gap than standard roll. A gap in the corner where the blinds meet can not be avoided. Advise your client. It is advisable to not situate the control chains in the corner as they will be difficult to access for operation.
