A venetian blind consists of overlapping horizontal slats made from wood, metal or vinyl, which can be pivoted to control the amount of light that enters a room. The slats are tilted, raised or lowered by means of cords. They maximise privacy control and assist with the control of indoor temperatures.
A face fix blind is mounted on the front or face of the window frame or wall above the window opening, extending beyond the window recess to cover the entire window and potentially maximize light and privacy control. This type of blind is easier to install as you avoid drilling into the narrow confines of the window recess.
A reveal fix blind is installed within the window recess or opening, also known as the ” cut out ” of the window. This results in a cleaner, more integrated look, as the blind sits flush with the window frame. There are small gaps between the side of the reveal to allow the blind to move up and down without interference.
The drop (1) of the blind is a vertical measurement. The width (2) of the blind is a horizontal measurement. Our blind sizes are all in millimeters and no extra millimeters are added.
The lift cord is used to raise or lower the blind. It can be placed at the left side or at the right side of the blind. The lift cord is of a high quality polyester and a toggle is used to keep the ends of the lift cord from fraying. The lift cord and toggle are matched to the fabric of the blind.
Our wood valance has the same finish as the blind. It is 15mm wider than the blind unless your size is specified. Valance returns, also called end caps, are attached to the sides of the valance, which completely hide the mechanism.
The extended face fix brackethas a maximum extension of 30mm. This brings the blind further away from the window than the standard bracket does and is used for the wood venetian or wood alloy blind. If the window frame has handles, vents or other protrusions, an extended bracket allows the blind to clear these obstructions. Face fix blinds with an extended bracket can provide more support for wider or taller windows where recess fitting may not be adequate.
