FIT

This refers to the options of fitting the blinds inside the frame or fitting the blind to the outside of the frame. 

Inside: Check your frame depth 

Outside: Check your frame size

PLEASE NOTE: With roller blinds the size you provide us is the bracket to bracket size. The fabric itself is 33mm narrower to allow for the controls.

ROLL TYPE

Roll type refers to the options of front roll or back roll. Traditionally it is standard to roll over the back. Back roll is always recommended on an outside fit.

However, some factors lead to front rolling being the best option e.g. the fabric has a white blockout backing. Or the blinds are being fitted in a bay window or over a door with large handles. 

Front roll: rolling blind fabric over the front of the tube.

Back roll: rolling fabric over the back of the tube.

CONTROL SIDE

The control is the mechanism that allows the user to operate the blind  in the form of a chain. You must choose what side you would like to operate the blind from, left or right.

Generally as a rule we recommend selecting the side that has easy access for the user. Or the side that is furtherest away from the opening of windows or doors if possible.

The Driven Link option refers specifically to roller blinds being operated by a chain of another blind in the same window at the same time. So for 2 blinds you have the 1 chain. The driven link is a centre bracket that drives the second blind as you pull on the chain of the first blind so they operate in unison. Select Driven Link for the blind that does not have a chain side. 

This is the mechanism that moves the blind up and down. Standard type is chain operated. The other option is motorized with a selection of motor types available. Please refer to motor options in accessories section for size limits on different motors. If purchasing one blind that is motorized you will need to by a complete motor kit (lithium type or 240v type) any additional blinds can be controlled with the remote supplied in the first kit (up to 5 channels). If purchasing the AA Battery type motor you will require one full kit per blind.

The control unit colour refers to the colour you want the blinds drive unit to be. Generally this is matched in with the blind fabric colour, chain, bottom rail or window joinery. View here

Control chain length is the length of the chain that operates your blind. The chain must be at least half the drop of the blind. For example if your blind is 1200mm high the chain must be at least 600mm. We can also supply child safety devices to hold your chains to the wall so there is no risk to young children. If you require child safety devices please make a note in comments section when placing order.

The chain colour refers to the colour of the chain which operates the blind.

We recommend co-ordinating colours work best. For example having the chain, drive unit, bottom rail all the same colour and a colour that compliments the blind fabrics or surrounding features in your home. View colours here

The bottom rail style refers to the style and colour of the bottom rail which sits along the bottom edge of the roller blind.

We suggest linking all blind component colours together such as the bottom rail, chain, and brackets, drive unit.

Bottom rails are available in round, oval or flat.

Some blinds require specialty brackets, for example: If you require double blinds you can use one bracket to hold both blinds, this is handy when you wish to have both sunscreen and blockout roller blinds on the same window. Double Blind Bracket

LINK SYSTEMS (not required for one blind on its own)

Link Brackets are required when you are ordering two blinds side by side usually to cover a wide window. This is perfect for when the windows or doors are wider than 3000mm which is the maximum of most of our roller fabrics. Link Brackets are centre brackets used to support where the two blinds are meeting. There are a few ways you can order these.

LINK BRACKET NON DRIVEN allows individual control over each blind, you must order a left and right chain for your blinds. The non-driven link allows the blinds to function independent of one another.

LINK BRACKET DRIVEN allows the two blinds to be controlled at the same time using one chain at the specified end. 

Safety clip that holds the chain in place.
