Installation type

For installation on a horizontal surface, generally used for 'Recess' fittings.

Header Options

Pencil Pleated

Pencil pleat curtains are a classic. Folds of fabric are tightly gathered to create a semi-cylindrical heading that resembles a line of pencils. From the close pleats of the header, the fabric tumbles freely to the floor. You can choose pencil pleat curtains for either poles or tracks.

Eyelet

Eyelet curtains or Ring Top curtains are a contemporary curtain heading for use with curtain poles. Eyelet heading gives large, soft, even pleats and are so called because they have metal rings at the top of the curtain in place of a normal header tape. This means that not as much material is needed in an eyelet curtain as they don’t need to be gathered the same way as a curtain with a taped heading. Eyelet curtains are not suitable for curtain tracks, with valances or for bay windows.

Our eyelets have 4 colours Brass, Antique, Nickel, Satin Nickel.

Lining Options

Standard Lining

A lightweight semi-translucent fabric that will filter incoming sunlight to give your home that soft light look and feel.

Blackout Thermal Lining

Our best type of lining for curtains because it offers benefits of blackout with the additional extra thickness to help insulate your room and create that cosy feeling in winter and keep your home cool in summer.

We recommend you choose this free upgrade.

Pair or Single

Pair

The most popular choice and for a reason, it is perfect for covering even the widest of windows. When you choose your curtains as a pair, we will spit the fabric evenly to form a perfect pair.

Single

A great choice for narrower spaces or if space is at a premium in your home. We make the curtain the same amount of fabric as if it was a pair but as one panel.

Recess or Exact?

Recess

For when you want the blind to fit within the recess of the window frame or casing:

Key tips

Measure in three places - top, middle and bottom of your window opening; this allows for any variances (such as tiled walls).

Use the smallest measurement – our factory will make a small deduction to ensure that the blind fits within the recess allowing for the blind fixtures and fittings.

Exact Width

For when you want to fit the blind on the outside of your window frame or casing:

Key tips

Measure in three places - top, middle and bottom of your window opening; this allows for any variances. We recommend you add at least 50mm on either side and 70mm to the top for the overlap. This will give you your exact overall blind width.

Control Type  

You have four different types of control to choose from. Standard, Left, Right and RH Tilt/LH Raise.   

Cord tilt – these cords allow you to control the angle of the slats to filter the light. Having this on the most accessible side is preferable.   

Standard 

This is the most common control type with the Cord raiser on the right hand side and the Tilt cords on the left hand side.  

Left  

This is when the cord raiser and tilt cord are both on the left hand side of the blind.  

Right 

This is when the cord raiser and tilt cord are both on the Right hand side of the blind. 

RH Tilt/LH Raise 

This is when the Cord raiser is on the left hand side and the Tilt cords are on the right.  

Choice of control side is not available on all wooden blind venetians 

Slat size

The slat is the horizontal strip of wood or PVC that tilts to provide your light control. You get a choice of 25mm, 35mm, or 50mm. The larger the slat size, the larger the gap between the blind slats when tilted open - allowing more light through and providing the best view outside.

Finding your window code

Measuring for roof blinds couldn't be easier - you just need to find the code on your window. Look for a plate on your window frame.

For Velux® windows you are looking for a code which is made up of two parts.

For Keylite, Rooflite, Fakro and Dakstra windows you just need to find a single code.

See the measuring guide on the product page for further information.

Perfect Fit Brackets

The bracket size is determined by the distance from the glass to the frame as per the measuring guide. The sizes of the brackets are 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34.

Bunch option

The bunch is where your vertical blinds will stack to when open. This is a personal preference but may be influenced by handles and the view from your window.

Split – The most common type where the slats are evenly split between each side of the window.

Left stack - All slats bunch to the left of the blind.

Right stack – All slats bunch to the right of the blind.

Exact Width

Choose this option when you want the blind to fit out with the recess of the window. The fabric on a roller blind is generally 36mm smaller than the bracket to bracket measurement. When you choose exact you have two choices:

1. Bracket to Bracket

This is what to choose when you want to replace an existing blind and have measured bracket to bracket or you have already taken the 36mm into account.

2. Fabric Width

This is the option to choose when you need your fabric to be a specific size as you have measured the area you want the fabric to cover or the fabric of an existing blind.

Chain Type Options

By default we offer a white chain to match your mechanisms and brackets.

We also offer a metal nickel chain to tie into your décor.
