VALE Translucent Roller Blind (Standard Window)

Inside Recess

The recess is inside the window opening. Choose this option if you want to the blind to lie in the recess of the window.

Width: Measure the inside width of the window at the top middle and bottom. Use the narrowest width measurement always using a metal tape measure.

Height: Measure the height of the window at the left, centre and right. Use the shortest height measurement always using a metal tape measure.

We will deduct the manufacturers recommended tolerance off the width/drop of the blind to ensure the blind operates perfectly within the window recess.

Outside Recess/Exact

Outside Recess/Exact is the outside of the window opening, overlapping the window recess. Choose this option if you want the blind to overlap the window recess.

Width
To minimise light leakage it's recommended that the blind overlaps the window recess on the width by least 40mm each side (60mm in the case of vertical blinds).

Height
When measuring the height take into account the required space for the mounting bracket. A flat surface of a minimum 70mm above is required (50mm in the case of vertical blinds). The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.

Standard Roll

All Roller blinds are made as Standard (with the fabric falling off the roller towards the window) This option as always recomended when using a Dim out / Blackout fabric as this will prevent less light entering the room because the fabric will be closer to the window frame!

Reverse Rolled

A Reverse rolled Roller blind is made (with the fabric falling off the roller away the window) this is usually prefered when you are trying to miss PVC window handles. We always recommend this option when ordering a printed fabric!

Blind Installation Heights

The 2014 changes to the child safety requirements of BS EN 13120:2009+A12014 place an obligation on all blind manufacturers to sell compliant products.

If you do not know the installation height of the blind please enter 00 in the box your blind will be manufactured in accordance with the Safety Regulation Requirements.

If you input an installation height (this is the height the brackets will be installed above the floor level) then your blind may be manufactured with longer controls providing they confirm to the child saftey legislation.

For windows in unusual positions or installed extremely high, please contact us.
