How accurate are the colour samples that are shown on the Website?

We make every reasonable effort to ensure the colours shown on our website accurately match our blinds.  However, there may be some differences in actual colours due to differences in computer systems and monitors.  Some textures may not be clearly visible. 
Natural products like wood and bamboo have a natural character and may have subtle colour differences. 
For a better colour match please order samples. 
In addition, it is recommended that you order all your blinds of a given colour at the same time as there can be minor variations between dye lots.

How do i measure my windows accurately?

What is a reveal (inside) fit?

What is a face (outside) fit?

How do i measure a sliding patio door?

What is the minimum window sill depth for a reveal (inside) fit?

My window/door is wider than 2400mm and i would like to buy a ready made blind. What do i do?

 The maximum width of a Ready Made Blind is 2400mm (with one exception being the Cordless Cellular Shades  maximum width 1800mm).  For windows/doors that are wider, an option is that two or more blinds be placed in the window/door.
Please note: This is purely a personal decison and very commonly used application.

A small gap of around 7mm - 10mm between each blind is unavoidable due to the bracketing systems.  Exceptions to this are the Cordless Cellular Shades and the 25mm Aluminium Venetian Blinds where these blinds able to be butted up together as the brackets go along the top of the rail head and not at the ends.

Am i able to use the window measurements from my house plans?

Window measurements from house plans are not recommended. There are many factors to take into consideration when measuring for blinds e.g. reveal or face fit (refer to the Measuring Guide section), depth of window sill, architraves, tiles, door handles etc. You can acquire an estimate price using the measurements from house plans but we recommend measuring each window individually to ensure accuracy.

Another point to take into consideration builders, architects and window manufacturers normally show window sizes drop before width ie: 2100d x 1500w. Blind industry standard works the opposite to builders, you must always remember to record your measurements width before drop ie: 1500w x 2100d when measuring windows for blinds.
