Important Notes
Check your windows are compatible for the Clic fit blinds
When checking if your windows are compatible please use a blunt butter style knife to perform the test. The thickness of the knife will replace the thickness of the bracket used to install this blinid type. Please take care while using the knife.
To ensure that your window is suitable, slide the knife into your rubber gasket and carefully insert it as far as it will go behind the frame. If required you can use washing up liquid or silicone polish to help the knife slide in.
Mark the distance
Mark the distance the blade travels under the gasket and if it is at least 17mm, your windows are suitable.
Measuring
To ensure the best possible fit we require accurate measurements for both width and drop of the window. Measure the full size of the visible glass between the gaskets.
NB: The blind projects 32mm out from the glass to the front of the folded operating handle, important for bifold door operation.
Step 1
Measure the Width
Take two measurements of the width, at the top and the bottom of the window. If there is any variation always use the shortest width to order your blinds. If the windows are particularly large you can take intermediate measurements to check.
Step 2
Measure the Drop
Take three measurements of the window drop. If there are any variations, then always use the longest measurements. You must measure accurately and to the nearest millimetre to ensure a good fit.
Step 3
Enter your Measurements
Go to your chosen product, enter your width and drop measurements.
Deductions
We will make a small deduction to the width of your blind when you select Inside Recess to accommodate the brackets. But note that the fabric will be 35mm narrower than the size given due to the chain control and brackets.
