Recess Fitting
If you want your pleated blinds to mount inside a window recess, this is the option for you. Most people choose this style. You’ll be top-fixing your blinds here.
A note on top fixing: -
Be mindful of any obstructions such as window handles and install the blind further forward in the recess to accommodate for them.
On a corded pleated blind - The max depth is 27mm.
On a cordless pleated blind – The max depth is 47mm.
We recommend adding around 1cm extra clearance for peace of mind.
