1. Inside the Window (Recess Fitting)

When fitting inside a window recess, we make the deductions for you to ensure a perfect finish. Use the following guide to install your wooden blinds

Give us the exact size of your window opening. We do the math for you.

Step 1: Measure the full width and height of the inside of your window recess.

Step 2: Enter those exact measurements into the order form.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do NOT make any deductions yourself. We will automatically subtract the necessary amount to ensure the brackets fit perfectly inside your window.

How it works: The fabric will always be slightly narrower than the window to leave room for the brackets.

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.

In both cases, the total width (fabric + brackets) will match your inside recess window size perfectly.

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

PLEASE NOTE: If you have obstructions (like tiling) to ensure a precise fit, measure the narrowest point between any obstructions and use this as your width. We will then handle the necessary width deductions for the brackets automatically.

PLEASE BEAR THE ABOVE INFO IN MIND WHEN ORDERING FOR AN INSIDE RECESS AS THE BLIND FABRIC WILL VARY IN WIDTH DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF FITTING YOU CHOOSE

2. Outside the Window (Exact Fitting)

We do not apply deductions to Exact size orders. We will make your blinds to the specific measurements you enter

EASYTURN NO DRILL NOT APPLICABLE FOR OUTSIDE THE WINDOW

You tell us exactly how wide you want the fabric to be.

Step 1: Measure your window opening.

Step 2: Add at least 7cm to the width (this allows a 3.5cm overlap on each side to block out light).

Step 3: Enter this final "plus-size" measurement into the order form.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: We will make the fabric the exact width you order. However, the brackets will add an extra 3.5cm to the overall width. Please ensure you have enough wall space to accommodate the brackets on either side of the fabric.

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.

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.

We have two options for you to choose from if you chose to order your blind with a pull cord:

or

2. plastic white chain

Please note: the metal chain is an additional £5.00

Always follow the safety instructions regarding the blind chain/cord which are included in the leaflet sent out with your blind. If you require any further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

All our blinds adhere to the BBSA’s strict child safety guidelines and meet the British and European safety standard EN 13120:2009 + A1:2014. If a child or vulnerable person will be using the room where the blind is installed, you MUST install the provided safety device to securely tie up the pull cord, keeping it out of reach of children, vulnerable individuals, and pets.

Even with the safety device fitted, we recommend moving beds, cots, and furniture away from any windows.
