*Apply To Roller/Venetian/Roman/Cellular/ Blinds

Reveal or Face Fix

Reveal - This is when you require your blind to fit inside the window recess.

Face - This is when you require your blind to be mounted on the outside of the window architrave.

Handy Hints

• Always use a steel tape
• Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm) to the nearest mm.
• When measuring, always look out for things like window and door handles, tiles, storm bars, moulded architraves and take their position into account if necessary.
• Pleasenote the side you wish the controls to be on.
• Make no deductions, exact measurements only.

3 STEPS TO FACE FIX MEASUREMENT:

1. Measure the width from outside of the architrave to the other side.
2. Measure the height from the top of the outside of architrave to the bottom outside of the architrave, or floor. Record down the measurement.
3. Always record the width then the height measurement.
4. If you have no architraves measure the opening size and make a note on your form so the sales staff can discuss this with you.

1. Measure the width of the recess from edge to edge in three places as shown. Note down the shortest measurement - this is the one we'll use.
2. Measure the height by taking the measurement from the top edge to bottom edge in three places as shown. Record the shortest measurement.
3. Always record the width then the height measurement.
