Recess or outside recess fitting?

When a window is not flush to the wall, a recess is created. This internal space in a room is rarely used during the day, unless the sill of the window is put to some use. Therefore, hanging a blind outside of the recess usually causes no problem in terms of lost space, but fitting inside will make the blind nearer to the window.

When deciding on mounting inside or outside recess, ensure that there are no obtruding objects (window catches, electrical sockets, tiles etc.) to hinder the operation of the blind.

What we do

INSIDE RECESS FIT

For an inside recess fit we deduct from the width measurement you provide us to ensure that the blind with the controls and brackets will fit the into the recess of your window.

Standard Fixings: Fabric will be 3.5cm narrower than the measurement you provide.

No-Drill Fixings: Fabric will be 4.7cm narrower than the measurement you provide.

EXAMPLE IF ORDERING NO DRILL : if your inside recess is 100cm wide, we will make the blind material to 95.3cm wide and then once the end fittings are applied the overall width will then be 100cm wide

OUTSIDE RECESS

You may not have a recessed window or for blackout purposes you may want to cover the entire window space. In these cases, this is the option to select.

The blind material will be made exactly to the sizes you give to us. 

For example, if your measurement is 100cm wide, we will make the blind material to 100cm wide and then once the end fittings are applied the overall width will then be 103.5cm wide.

EASYTURN NO DRILL NOT APPLICABLE FOR OUTSIDE THE WINDOW

ROLL TYPE

The blind can either roll from behind the roller or over the front of the roller. Typically, roller blinds are positioned so that the blind rolls from behind the top roller, especially for inside recess fit blinds so that they are as close to the window as possible.

However, if you have objects that protrude from the window, you may decide to roll the blind over the roller. This way, the blind will not be obstructed when it is pulled down over the window.
