Miltred Valance
For blinds fitted inside the window recess select “No returns” and for blinds fitted outside the window select “Double returns”
Raise Lower
The raise lower control is used to raise or lower the blind whilst the tilt control opens or closes the blind by tilting the slats.
Tape
Wooden blinds come with ladder cords as standard but can be upgraded to a tape to enhance the appearance of the blind.
Lining
Our standard lining offers protection from the sun whilst looking stylish and elegant.
Blackout lining is heavier than our standard lining as it has an acrylic coating that blocks out daylight, making it perfect for bedrooms. It also has thermal properties that help to keep your home warmer.
Our interlining is thicker than both our standard and blackout linings and adds a thicker and more sumptuous feel. It has an extra layer of wadding bonded to our standard lining.
Drop
Mandatory requirements as stated by EN13120 are that all cord and chain lengths are determined by the installation (fitting) height which is the distance measured ‘from the floor’ to where the blind is being installed.
Orders on our website are taken on the basis that the installation height is ‘not known’ and accordingly all cord & chain lengths will be manufactured to the lengths published below.
If cord or chain lengths are required to be longer or shorter than the values stated below then please advise these by email immediately after placing an order to enquiries@windowfashiondirect.co.uk clearly stating the order number in the subject line.
Slat Width
If you wish the blind to fit inside a window recess, measure the width of the recess and select “recess” for the fitting type. We will reduce the measurement supplied by 10mm to ensure the blind fits inside the recess.
If you wish the blind to fit outside a recess, enter the width you would like the blind to be made to and select “exact” for the fitting type. We will make the blind to the size stated without any deductions.
For further information see the relevant measurement guide on our website
Slat Size
Smaller slat widths are more suitable for smaller windows whilst wider slat widths have a smaller stack height when raised.
Fitting Type
If you are stating the size of the blind you require select “exact”.
If you are stating the size of the window recess select “recess”.
The only difference between these 2 options is that if you select “recess” we will deduct 1cm from your supplied measurements to ensure that your blind will fit inside the recess.
