If you would prefer to not have any weights/chains included with your order, please send us an email immediately after placing your order and we can manually update the order. Unfortunately there is no difference in price though.
We recommend recharging the blind every 4-6 months. The integrated battery within the motor means you do not need to remove the blind from its brackets when charging. The motor head has an accessible small port (just like your mobile phone) where you simply plug in the charger; when charging is complete the LED light on the charger will turn solid Green.
The depth of the Perfect Fit Roller Blind cassette/extrusion is 58mm, and the height is 74mm.

Roller blinds are suitable for most types of windows and doors.
We can manufacture Roller blinds up to 500cm wide, perfect for large areas to cover such as bi-fold doors - whilst taking up very little space when fully rolled up.
We supply universal brackets, so they can be top fixed, side fixed or face fixed so you need not worry that you need any different bracket for your installation type!
Roller blinds come in a huge range of fabrics, colours and finishing options. which makes them ideal for use in all different environments.
Features such as blackout, thermal, flame retardent and waterproof to name just a few means that we can ensure the blind chosen for your room is extremely practical.
Given the product is relatively quick to manufacture, it makes this stylish blind type one of the cheapest products available whilst being of of the simplest ways to transform a room.
The "Standard Roll" option means the fabric will roll from the back of the tube, closer to the glass. This brings benefits such as better thermal retention and light reflection (particularly useful for blackout fabrics!).
The "Reverse Roll" option does just the opposite, meaning the fabric will roll from the front of the tube, away from the glass. This is beneficial if there are window handles to clear, and usually a preferred option for creating the seamless look.
The wrap around bottom bar, is the most desired option across the Blinds industry, as it gives a seamless look without any sewing lines or "pin pricks" across the fabric. You may ask why do other competitors use the "Open Sew Pocket"? Quite simply, it is the cheapest and quickest method of manufacture - we believe in quality and therefore do not use this method.
The simple answer is no.
A White Plastic chain comes as standard across all our Roller blinds. We give upgrade options in both Plastic and Metal chain options, so you can personalise your blind to match household accessories such as Brass door handles or Silver wall sockets.
We offer 3 fitting options for our Roller blinds, Recess being the most popular fitting type. However not all window's are the same so you may need to choose a different option and we will explain below...
Recess
When selecting a Recess fitting option, we will allow a tolerance in manufacture from the sizes you have provided so that the blind you receive will fit inside your window.
For reference, the fabric width is always 35mm less than your Width measurement when you choose "Recess", this is the industry standard deduction to allow the blind to operate freely when installed.
Exact Size
When selecting an Exact Size fitting option, we recommend that this measurement type is only used when installing outside of the window recess, where you know the exact position of the outside bracket to bracket measurement of where the blind is to be installes.
For reference, the fabric width will be 35mm less than your Width measurement when you choose "Exact Size", this is the industry standard deduction to allow the blind to operate freely when installed.
Fabric Width
When selecting a Fabric Width fitting option, it is recommended that this measurement type is only used when installing outside of the window recess, where you know the exact width between the edges of the fabric cloth that you wish to cover for the specific area.
For reference, the overall width size of the blind will be 35mm larger than your Width measurement when you choose "Fabric Width", this is to accommodate the brackets and to allow the blind to operate freely when installed; so please ensure you have sufficient space to allow for the brackets when choosing this measurement option.
There are two sets of controls on a Wooden blind. To raise and lower the blind, the cord would be on the right hand side of the blind and when you pull this cord the bottom bar of the blind moves upwards, and each slat stacks on top of each other until the blind reaches the headrail where it cannot be raised any higher. To tilt the slats, there are two cords on the left hand side of the blind. Pulling one cord will make the slats close downwards and pulling the other cord will then make the slats close upwards.
Whilst Wooden blinds do block plenty of light out and will give complete privacy when closed, they are not a blackout product.
The slats on wood blinds when closed do overlap each other, however there will still be light creeping round each individual slat.
This decision is purely down to personal choice. Tapes are simply an accessory to a Wooden Blind but given the look, helped by the home decor Instagrammers, they are an increasingly popular option.
Tapes, manufactured from cotton, conceal the small punch holes in the Wooden Slats where the cords run up and down, which for some feel that this gives a greater level of privacy and improves the aesthetic look of the overall blind given the herringbone design.
Tapes are a fixed part of the blind, and cannot be removed if you change your mind.
How Many Tapes Will Be On My Blind?
We cannot change the amount of tapes that are on a blind, they are spaced very specifically so that the slats that rest on them do not bend or sag under their own weight. If you would like to know how many tapes, simply send us an eMail or call us with your width measurement and we can let you know straight away.
What Size Tape Will Be On My Blind?
We will supply a 19mm width tape on a 25mm slat size blind, a 25mm width on a 35mm slat and a 38mm width on a 50mm slat as standard.
There is the option to have a 25mm width tape on a 50mm slat size, however this option is not available on our website and you must eMail or call us to express your desire to choose this option, there is no additional charge if you chose this width.
On all our Wooden Blinds it is normal for up to two slats to sit on the bottom bar, this is to cover the punch holes in the bottom bar and to minimise the light seepage. Sometimes you will have a second slat sat on the bottom bar, this is there to block the light when closed, and even though it may look like it shouldn't be there - trust us it is meant to be!
Measuring for our wooden blinds is straightforward. How you want your blinds to fit - inside the recess or outside of it - will determine where you measure. Check out our full measuring guide for wooden blinds for step-by-step instructions.
Each of our wooden blinds come with a full fitting guide which can be downloaded from our website, along with a short demonstration video. We recommend reading and watching these carefully before installation to get the perfect fit for your wooden blinds.
When measuring for your vertical blinds remember that the drop length will include both the headrail and slats. It is also always best practice to measure in three places to get the most accurate measurements. See our step-by-step guide for more information.
Vertical blinds can either be fixed to the lintel or the window frame; make sure you know which option you want before starting installation and follow the relevant instructions, downloadable from our website. There is also a handy how-to video.
Clean your vertical blinds by detaching them from the headrail. Then, you can clean the headrail and hoover the slats using the brush attachment. You can use a damp cloth to wipe them down, but ensure they dry fully.
Vertical blinds have a huge advantage over other blinds because they cover much taller spaces. They are perfect for larger, floor-to-ceiling windows like in bi-fold doors, conservatories or offices. With a choice of materials and colours, they are highly versatile.
Our range of vertical blinds includes a vast array of colours, from the bright and bold to tasteful neutrals so you can choose the right look for your room. Samples of all our blinds are available so you can see colours and materials in person.
Our Vertical Blinds are stitched with transparent thread. Please note if on a blackout fabric the thread may pull through the blackout lining and appear dark.

Replacement slats are incredibly easy to install. Just clip them into place at the headrail, return the weight to the pocket at the bottom, and reattach to the chain. Just ensure all slats are facing the same direction for a seamless look.
