Ensure there are no obstructions 90 mm in the wall recess (inside fitting) and 600 mm clearance around the inside of your home for the shutters to hang in the stacked position.
You will also need to ensure that you have a flat surface to mount the head rail and bottom track.
Verify you have 90 mm inside top and bottom wall recess available for the shutter head rail to be mounted onto—refer to the illustration above.
Measure at various places (J,K,L) as illustrated and input all three width dimensions.
Measure at various places (G,H,I) as illustrated and input all three drop dimensions.
Note: We will make your shutters to fit into the recess perfectly. Do not make any deductions to the measurements as our factory will make the allowances required.
Tips!
We recommend using a metric metal tape measure and take the exact measurements to the millimetre.
Blinds come in two different kinds, which will suit different needs. Do you want the blind to fit inside the window (Recess) or outside (Facefix)?
Outside (Facefix) blinds are easier to install, ideal if you want to hide features around the window and do not require exact measuring.
Inside (Recess) blinds provide a neat appearance, but require exact measuring and a top recess large enough to accommodate the size of the head rail.
