Before you get going
Have you designed how your blinds will fit?
This is where the fun starts! If you’ve already landed on the perfect fit for your windows, then you’re good to go. Otherwise don't stress, we'll walk you through the design options below.
Are your windows 'normal' size?
'Normal' for us means between 600 mm and 3000 mm wide, and 400 mm to 3300 mm high. If your window is wider than 3000 mm jump across to our linked blinds, which can span up to 6 metres.
Do you know what surface your blinds will attach to?
Our blinds attach to most surfaces, though it's always best to do your homework. Wooden window frames and wall studs are by far the easiest to attach to.
Have you thought about motorisation?
These effortless blinds don't use chains. They look great, are child safe and super accessible. Just add motorisation when you order your roller blinds. Please note: Somfy Altus motors are not compatible with double roller blind brackets. Explore our other motorisation options here.

1
Measure your width
Measure the exact outside width of your window frame across the top and write it down. This measurement will be your bracket-to-bracket width.
Please note that the fabric will be approximately 30-35mm narrower than your bracket-to-bracket measurement.
2
Measure your drop
Measure the exact outside width of your window frame across the top and write it down. This measurement will be your bracket-to-bracket width.
Please note that the fabric will be approximately 30-35mm narrower than your bracket-to-bracket measurement.
3
Choose your chain side
Make a note of which side you’d like your chain to be on. Think about which side is easiest to reach, obstruction free and where the chain will be least visible.
