All Blinds have a side chain operation called the Sidewinder which can be fitted to the left or right. The chains are available in 3 colours: 
How to Measure for your Blinds
Please note: You should always use a metal tape measure
RECESS
Give us the tight measurement and we will make the allowances
Width = A – B
Measure at the top along the line where the Blind will be fitted.
Drop = C – D
OUTSIDE RECESS
Width = E – F
Overlap the recess by approximately 25mm to 50mm either side to suite your requirements.
Drop = G – H
Measure 75mm approximately above the window to the point where you want the Blind to finish.
For other measurements IE: Doors, shaped or sloping windows, please contact us.
×Roll Type
Fabrics can run off the front or the back of the roller:
Standard Roll:
comes of the back.
Reverse Roll:
comes off the front.
Installing Standard Single Brackets for Roller Blinds
The brackets provided come in pairs. They are identical and positioned left or right. The fixing positions are universal and designed for back or face fix, top or celling fix and side or end fix.
Before positioning the brackets consider clearance for window handles and other obstructions.
Select the fixing option and position the first screw as shown. This may vary according to how bulky the fabric is on the roller, in which case you will need to make a visual assessment and position the bracket accordingly. This applies mainly to blinds laminated from customer’s own material.
With the brackets fitted, the roller blind can be installed ready for use. When handling the blind make sure that the fabric is tight on the roller to prevent creasing and handle it carefully with clean, dry hands to avoid marking the fabric.
It is also a good idea to check the position of the chain connector as this may have moved in transit. It should be about 10″ (250mm) down from the clutch. To reposition rotate the chain around the clutch.
The blind has a plunging pin end [A] and a chain-operated clutch end [B].
To operate, pull gently on the chain in one direction raises the blind and pulling it in the other direction lowers it. It will remain in position automatically. On blinds where the fabric rolls against the window (Standard Roll) the front chain raises. On blinds where the fabric rolls towards the room (Reverse Roll) the rear chain does the raising.
The double brackets are supplied with the Duo blinds and Day/Night blinds.
They are fitted following the same procedure as for standard single brackets.
Vacuum cleaning / or gentle wiping with a sponge and a soft detergent.
Do not soak, Do not use any solvents and Do not rub.
×We will only supply blinds which conform to the child safety requirements of ESN13120 (Safety Codes.) The safety codes do not apply to blinds which are to be installed in commercial buildings where it is unlikely that a young child will come into contact with them. Should any order you place with us be for such blinds and as a result you require that they vary in any material aspects or particular respect from blinds which comply with the safety codes then:
1) You must stipulate clearly that this is the case at the time of order and also make it clear your particular requirements for the blinds as a result; and
2) You must confirm that the blinds are to be installed in a commercial building as far as you can reasonably ascertain having carried out your own risk assessment and that such a child is unlikely to be exposed to the blinds once installed; and
3) The assessment as to whether a child is likely to come in contact with blinds is solely for your determination. We will not accept any responsibility or liability for the same whatsoever.
If you should fail to provide the confirmation and details required pursuant to 1 and 2 above then the blinds we supply shall comply with the safety codes and you shall not be entitled to reject the same nor use any requisition in relation to the same in the event that the blinds do not subsequently meet the purpose for which you intended.

These stacking size refers to side draw blinds. Allow approximately half of the following sizes for split draw.
89mm (3.5″) vanes
1000mm = 225mm of stacking
2000mm = 380mm of stacking
3000mm = 540mm of stacking
4000mm = 710mm of stacking
Step 1:
Width = a – b
Measure the finished width.
Step 2:
Drop = c – d
measure from the top of the lower window to the required finished drop
Please note that the following points should be taken into consideration when measuring for Sash panel blinds:
Handle position
You may need to reposition the window handle down a little to provide a suitable overlap at the bottom of for the panel to sit.
Check the window is square with the frame
Please note that the panel will be cut and supplied to you square but if your window is out of square you may need to trim the sides or top slightly to fit the odd shape.
Clean frame
Clean the window frame fixing strip area with white spirit to remove grease and dirt and allow to dry thoroughly.
Prepare Velcro
Remove the protective film from the self adhesive Velcro.
Attach Velcro strip
Fix the Velcro strip flush to the top of the lower window panel.
Trim Velcro to size
Check for length before firmly pressing Velcro into place and remove any excess with scissors
Fixing the panel
Fix the panel by carefully working from one side and keeping the panel straight and level with the top.
Please note that your panel will be cut and supplied square but if your window is out of square you may need to trim the side or top slightly to fit the odd shape.

Hooking
Push the point of the hook into the centre of the of the pleat. Check that the hook is not showing on the front of the curtain. Make sure that all the hooks have the same heading allowance.
Dressing
After hooking the curtains onto the track they will need dressing and the fabric needs forming into clean folds.
To educate the curtains to keep their folds we recommend that you tie the curtains in two or three positions and leave them for a few days. We use broad strips of polythene so they don’t mark the curtains.
