247 Pro Tips:

  • If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you'll be best off with an exact fitting. For recesses bigger than 60mm it's really just a matter of personal taste.
  • When measuring to fit inside the recess, check for anything such as tiling or picture rails that could get in the way and take them into account when measuring. We normally advise just to measure between any tiling so as to ensure a nice, snug fit.

 

Additional Information:

  • Wooden Venetian blinds are available in either 35mm, 50mm or 63mm slat sizes so please take this in to consideration when thinking about the placement of your blind - especially when fitting inside a recess. If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you may want to fit outside the recess, depending on the slat size chosen.
  • 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 10mm deduction to the width of Wooden Venetians. 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.
  • 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.

Is recess or exact size most suitable for my window?

If you are fitting the wooden blind on the inside of your window then you would select (Recess) If you are fitting the blind on the outside of the window it would be (Exact). If you’re unsure view our measuring guide.

What are the controls on wooden blinds?

Wooden blinds are designed to give you two separate ways of controlling the light in your room. The tilt control is located on the left-hand side of the headrail and is a toggle pull cord, this is used to tilt the angle of the slats depending on how much privacy and light preferred. Another pull cord is placed on the right-hand side which allows you to raise/lower the blind.

What is a pelmet?

A pelmet is a wooden strip supplied with your blind to cover the headrail and fixtures at the top of the blind, it will be colour matched to your blind and can easily be attached once you have fitted your blind. If you are fitting outside the recess ‘exact size’ you will also receive two smaller pieces to fit onto the sides of the headrail.

When ordering wood venetian blinds for a bay window, will the slats naturally align?

At 247 we do our utmost to try to ensure that all slats align, however, please give us a call when you are ready to place your order and our friendly staff will do their best to make sure this happens for you.

Which wood is used to make my blind?

All our real wooden blinds are made from basswood, we believe this to be the best due to the lightweight and hardwearing properties.

Is the wood sourced eco-friendly?

Yes, the real wood used to produce our blinds is sourced from ecologically managed sustainable forests, they ensure that for every tree used a new seedling is planted.

Are screws/rawl supplied with wooden blinds?

We will supply you with the brackets to fit the blinds however we do not supply screws/rawl plugs as each fitting location can vary, for most 15-25mm self-tapping screws and decent rawl plugs will do the job.

How accurate are the images for wooden blinds?

We have a specialist team producing our images and aim to get 100% accuracy on every blind. However, screens can vary depending which device you are using so we always recommend ordering a FREE SAMPLE just to be sure.

Pelmet

• A square-shaped pelmet will cover your headrail. This is colour-coordinated to your chosen slat colour.

Other


• The number of ladders or tapes shown in the images are for illustration purposes only. The width of blind ordered will determine how many tapes are a part of the blind.

• The blinds may be made with 2-3 extra slats on the bottom to ensure full coverage of the window.

• Blinds over 1050mm width will have a centre support bracket, with up to 3 support brackets at maximum width.

Motorisation

• Motorised options are available here :- https://www.247blinds.co.uk/motorised-wooden-blinds

• The specification for this product is the same as above, with variation for the specialist motorised option stated below.

• Motorised Wooden Venetian blinds are supplied as standard with a Somfy motorised control unit on the right-hand side to control the operation of the blind (tilting the slats).

• Raise/Lower operation is made through a cord control which is positioned on the right-hand side of the blind.

•  The unit is powered by an external rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack (adding approx. 40mm to the back of the headrail), where one hour charge will provide 11 months of average use.
