2 - Your Fitting
In order to mount the roller blind within a window frame or recess, you'll need to ensure there's at least 30mm of depth within the recess. This is to ensure both the honeycomb blind can neatly fit within the recess.
You'll be mounting the honeycomb blind brackets into the top of the recess, so ensure there's no obstructions at the top of the recess which could prevent the honeycomb blind from fitting. If you've got no fixings on the top of your frame and at least 30mm depth, you're good to go!
3 - Recess Fit
With your measuring tape, ensure there’s at least a 30mm depth between the window pane and front edge of your window frame.
If you have less than 30mm depth within your recess, we'd recommend a face fit mounted honeycomb blind instead.
4 - Measure the width
Using your measuring tape, measure the inside width of your window frame across the top. Note down your width measurement.
Ensure to provide the exact recess width with no deductions, we’ll ensure the brackets and blind will fit perfectly.
5 - Measure the height
Measure the height of your recess by taking the exact measurement from the top of the recess to the bottom. Note down your height measurement.
6 - Control side
Take note of which side you’d like the chain to be on. It's better that the chosen side is free of obstructions and easy for you to access.
