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.

You can choose to top fix or face fix your blind here.
