Your blind can be made to fit the inside of the recess of
your window or it can hang on the outside.
Exact. This measurement is required when you want your
blind to hang outside the recess. Your blind will be
made to these measurements.(please see measuring
instructions).
Recess. This measurement is required when you want your
blind to fit inside the window recess. We will make the
adjustment for you and your blind will be made to fit
into the recess. (please see measuring
instructions).
Measuring For Recess
Blinds.
Follow these instructions if you want your blind to fit
inside the recess:
1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall in
three places as shown. Then take the shortest
measurement as your width..
2. Measure the drop by measuring from the top of the
recess to the window sill in three places as shown. Then
take the shortest measurement as your drop..
Note: When measuring Recess please take note of any
obstructions like Tiles, Dado Rails, Skirting boards etc
that may alter the actual width of the recess..
Measuring For An Exact Blind
Size.
Follow these instructions for blinds that you want to
hang outside the window recess:.
1. Decide how much you want your blind to overlap and
then provide the exact measurement of the Width you'd
like your blind to be.
2. Decide how much you want your blind to overlap and
then provide the exact measurement of the Drop you'd
like your blind to be.
Measuring For Roller
Blinds.
Please be aware that on roller blinds there is a
mechanism at one end (which controls the blind) which
means that the fabric is actually 35mm less then the
blind size. On recess blinds you just need to provide
the recess measurement as normal and we will make the
adjustment. On Exact blinds decide how much you want the
blind to overlap allowing extra for the mechanism.
Vertical Blinds
Information
Wand Controls and Lengths (If you require cord
controls please contact us on 0800 6127
685)
If you order a right hand stack, your control wand will
be on the right hand side of your blind when open.
If you order a left hand stack, your control wand will
be on the left hand side of your blind when open.
If you order a split stack, your control wand will be in
the centre of the blind and will open to the right hand
side.
The length of the control wands will be as follows. If
you require a different length wand, please contact us
with your requirements.
Up to 1 meter blind drop - 500mm wand
Up to 2 meter blind drop - 1000mm wand
Up to 2.5 meter blind drop - 1200mm wand
Up to 3 meter blind drop - 1500mm wand
Up to 3.5 meter blind drop - 2000mm wand
1. Before you begin, ensure there is a clearance of 6mm
all around the outside of your window beading to allow
enough room for the Perfect Fit
2. Measure the width and the drop of your glass size
accurately with a digital measuring tape. We recommend
that you measure in both corners and the middle of your
window and use the smallest size taken.
3. Measure the depth of the window using the depth gauge
(alternatively place a piece of wood across the frame
and measure the distance from the wood to the glass.
This gives you the measurement from the face of the
window frame to the glass (this is normally
18mm/20mm/24mm) and will determine the size of the
window fixing brackets to be used.

How to remove PFS Lite?
Step 1
100mm
Place a bracket at 100mm from
either side of the rail
Distribute any remaining
brackets equally
When using top fix brackets, ensure the from edge of the
bracket is at least 75mm away from the surface behind
rail. This allows the louvres to rotate freely without
touching the wall or window behind
Step 2
When ordering, you will have selected face fix or top
fix backets
Fix the bracket to the facing surface using two screws
Use one screw to fix the bracket into the surface above
Make sure the controls are on the side ordered and tilt
the track to locate the back section of the headrail
into the bracket. Push into position and tighten the
short screw to lock the track into place. Repeat this
process with additional brackets.
The track must be set with the controls at the side
ordered, tilt the track and locate the front lip of
track into the front of the bracket push up until it
clicks into position. Repeat this process with
additional brackets.
Your vertical blind is fully compliant with the latest
safety standards. It has been supplied with a mono
control wand that hooks onto the mechanism. This
controls the opening and tilting of the blind.
Step 3
Hook the louvres onto the
rail.
With our system all the louvres are already chained.
Firstly position the hooks at 90° to the track, take
the louvre roll out of its plastic protection, remove
the band and unroll them with the hanger at the top and
the stabilising chains at the bottom. Hand the louvres
so that the seams are all facing the same way.
If you have a split bunch blind you will need to cut the
chain between the middle two louvres in order for the
blind to be able to draw to each side. Only do thi once
the louvres have been positioned correctly. Draw the
blind to separate the middle two louvres allowing you to
easily cut the chain between them.
Top Fix Bracket
Face Fix Bracket
Control Wand
Step 1
The pull control has been positioned as you requested
when ordering. If you need to swap the side that the
controls are on, change the roll direction or if you
need to further trim the blind, simply unplug the
controls from the tube. This should be done before you
fix the brackets.
Step 2
The blind has been supplied with universal fixing
brackets. Decide which method of fixing you require,
either face fix the blind onto a wall or window frame,
or top fix the blind onto the underside of a recess or
ceiling.
Step 3
Once the brackets have been fitted, insert the blinds pin
into the bracket (the pin is located at the opposite end
of the blind controls). The control end will then fix
into the opposite bracket.
Step 4
There are two directions for roller blind fabric to
immerse from their tube, these are known as ‘standard’
or ‘reverse’.
Standard
Standard sends the fabric down via the back of
the tube, placing it closest to the window or
wall it is mounted on. This method creates less
light leakage when the blinds are mounted
outside of a recess.
Reverse
Reverse places the fabric at the front of the
tube, therefore concealing view of the pole.
This method allows extra space for window
handles and other obstructions if you mount the
blind inside a recess.
To alter the roll direction, the fabric must be fully
unrolled so that the tube is revealed. Continue turning
the tube in
the same direction so that the fabric starts to roll up
to the opposite side. To get the fabric to sit closer to
the tube, run your hands along the fabric to loosely
form a fold, and continue rolling the fabric back
up.
Step 5
All Roller blinds are fitted with safety breaks. If you
are fitting additional devices they must be installed at
the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism
to prevent looped cords becoming slack.
Ensure
the chain is fully taut when placed into
position.
Attach the retaining device using
suitable fixings ensuring the device is fully closed.
WARNING:In the interest of safety, please keep all pull cords and chains out of the reach of children.
Move cots, beds and other furniture away from blinds and install safety devices such as cleats and cord tidies to limit access to cords.
