Thermal roller blinds are a great choice for any room that faces the sun and is hard to keep cool through the sunnier months, as it will retract the light and keep the room shaded and cool. The speed and ease of fitting, coupled with the smooth operating sidewinder chain and the fresh, modern look of the blind, will provide a much-loved blind year-on-year.

247 Pro Tips:
- It is best to measure for your recess using three measurements for the width and the drop, using the smallest of each as the final size.
- When measuring to fit inside the recess, be aware of anything that may get in the way. If you have tiling or picture rails around the bottom of your recess, which is 20mm or less difference to the width across the top, we advise that you provide the measurement across the top for a nice, snug fit!
- If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you'll be best off with an exact fitting. To do this please follow the 'Exact' measuring method in our measuring guide.
- For the best results when measuring for an exact fitting, allow your blind to overlap the edges of the recess by at least 35mm on each side. We'll then make a blind for your exact measurements and ship it with the brackets, which will add another 3mm to the size you give us.
Additional Information:
- The fabric width is 35-40mm narrower than the overall width of the blind to allow for any control component on the side of the tube (or 'cassette'). We always manufacture the full blind width and not fabric width. If you are fitting one of these blinds outside of the recess, you may want to consider measuring wider to allow for some fabric overlap.
- We try to make the measuring and ordering process as simple as possible - so for a recess fitting, we only require the full size of your recess space and we will make small adjustments to enable the blind to fit within that space. We make a 3mm deduction to the width of Roller blinds. If you wish to make your own allowances and do not require us to make them, please select exact fitting and not recess during the order process.
- If you are fitting a roller blind inside of a recess and wish to mount the brackets to the sides of the recess (opposed to the lintel or window frame), please make sure that you measure across the top of the recess and select 'exact' instead of 'recess' to allow for this particular type of mounting (otherwise 'top' or 'face' fixing is an alternative option).
- To ensure accurate measuring for bay windows, please consult our Bay Window measuring guide or for more help with measuring for blinds, or getting a perfect fit, take a look at our simple step-by-step demonstration videos in our video section.
- If you are still unsure about your measurements, then don't worry, just put your mind at ease and consider adding our 'MeaSUREguard' protection to your order. For just an additional 10% charge, we promise to replace or alter your blinds if you find that you have made a mistake with your measuring. Available on all made to measure blinds at the checkout.

Our fabrics in the thermal/solar ranges are all different, most blinds will be blackout and others will allow more light through the fabric. Check out our spec tab below for a full list of this blind’s properties.
We offer a couple of different ranges under our solar collection with different backing types for each range. Most of the solar ranges are coated with a grey/silver protective layer on the back on the fabric, which works to insulate and reflect light at the same time. Whereas our ranges stating SPC in the name are sprayed with a solar protective treatment, so the back will match the front and just have a bit more of a shine. You are still sure to save money on bills while helping grow your home into an eco-friendly environment.
Make sure your blind is fully rolled down and start by giving the r blind a quick dust over or use a vacuum with a soft attachment to remove any dust. Then with a damp clean cloth gently wipe over the blind and finally open the window to let the fresh air dry it off.
We no longer offer different types of finishes for the bottom of the blind, so as standard every blind will have a straight finish with a hidden bottom bar to keep the blind weighted.
You simply need to decide if the blind will sit inside the window (Recess) or outside the window frame (Exact). If you're still unsure, view our measuring guide.
