Sailboat PVC Blackout Blue Roller Blind

What do the different Measurement Types Mean?

Recess Size

Choose this option when you want your blind to fit inside the window recess

Is Recess Size the one for you?

In simple terms this allows you to measure the size of the window recess and the blind will fit inside this space and won’t stick out into the room.  This will give a tidy appearance.

When we manufacture your blind, we will make sure we allow the correct tolerances so that the blind fits perfectly into your recess.

Exact Size

This option is the one to choose when you are NOT fitting your blind into the recess and it is important to you exactly where the brackets are going to be fitted. You might want the blind to hang outsize the recess and be larger than the recess by a certain amount and need your brackets to hang in a certain position.

If you are using exact size you should measure the distances between the bracket locations.

Your roller blind will be made exactly to the sizes you give to us.

Fabric Width

This option is the one to choose when you are NOT fitting your blind into the recess and it is important to you exactly what area the fabric of the blind covers.|

If you are using exact size you should measure the distances between the edges of the area to be covered by the fabric.

 Your roller blind will be made exactly to the sizes you give to us.

Do I need Bracket Covers?

If you are fitting your roller blind into a window recess you will NOT require bracket covers as the ends of the blind do not show.

Bracket covers not required

For blind fitting within window recess

The ends of the blind are not visible when a roller blind is fitted within a window recess, therefore bracket covers are not required for this type of fitting.

Bracket covers required

For blind fitting outside the window recess

If your blind is mounted outside of the recess and the ends of the blinds are visible you may want to upgrade and enhance the look of your blind using bracket covers to give a more luxurious and clean look to our quality blinds.
