About the blinds ------------------------------------------------------------------.----...--------Top
Your blind is made-to-measure. It has either a side-winding mechanism for complete control or a sprung mechanism with a wooden 'acorn', or (in bathrooms) a plastic toggle. The bottom edge of the blind is rolled around the bottom bar for a neat finish. With the lighter materials, the bottom bar is weighted to ensure the blind hangs perfectly. For side-winding blinds we can offer white or chrome bead chain.

The Roller Blind Mechanism ---------------------------------------------------...-------------Top
We use only the best quality components. They are suitable for damp/steamy environments such as bathrooms. The fixing brackets are unobtrusive, white, powder-coated aluminium. The mechanism and brackets extend approximately 21mm from each side of the material.

The Inks----------------------------------------------------------------------------...-------------Top
We use pigment and solvent inks which are both waterproof and fade resistant. Note that depending on the inks and materials used the shades of colour may vary from those you see on your computer screen and printer. If colour is an issue, please let us know. Please also look at our colour match page.

Installation---------------------- --------------------------------------------------...-------------Top
The blinds can be fitted to the ceiling, window, wall or the side walls of the window recess. Installation is very easy, there are only two screws per bracket and the blinds come with full instructions.
