What other options are there?
As mentioned above we can produce panel blinds for large windows or french doors.
For Roller Blinds other options are available such as different finishes on the fittings such as chrome or bronze. The blinds themselves can be printed blackout for an extra cost, and can also be spring loaded or motorised.

What is the difference between 'inside recess' and 'exact'?
A 'recess' measurement is the one you will need to take when you would like the roller blind to fit and hang INSIDE the window recess.
An 'exact' recess measurement is the one you will need to take when you would like the roller blind to fit and hang OUTSIDE the window recess or flush with your wall.

Will the blinds be delivered with all the fittings and fitting instructions I need?
Yes. Our roller blinds are straightforward and easy to fit. Your roller blind will be made to measure to your exact specification, and supplied ready to fit with all fittings and mechanisms and fitting instructions.

What material is used to make my roller blind?
Our standard dim out blinds are made out of a polyester fabric which is wipeable, fire retardant and crease resistant.

How will my chosen image look on a roller blind?
Before we proceed to production, we will email you a proof of your chosen photo or image as it will appear on your roller blind.

Please bear in mind that some images will be more suited to portrait-shaped windows, and some to landscape-shaped windows, however we will do our best to crop the image suitably or extend the background. We can also change the colour of your picture or make it black and white.

Only when you are happy with the proof we have sent you, will we go ahead and make your roller blind.

What size and quality image is suitable for a blind?
Your photograph will need to be taken with a camera at least 4 megapixels and quite high resolution. If youre not sure about an image you can always send it to us for evaluation.

Copyright:
Please ensure you have the full copyright or permission to use an image, we reserve the right to refuse to print any image if it risks copyright infringement or is in our opinion offensive.

How do I measure for my blind?
1. Measure the width of the recess (in mm) in three places using the metal measuring tape, and note the smallest measurement. Measure the length in the same way (taking three measurements), from the top of the recess to the sill. Keep in mind that the fabric will be approx 30mm narrower to allow for fittings.
2. For an EXACT blind size outside recess, measure the width of the window and allow an extra 5cm either side, to help block out light. Alternatively, if the window has wide mouldings, you can measure so that the blind will be flush with the edges.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS!! Printed blinds are made to measure for you and cannot be returned and resold.
