Our electric & cordless roller blinds for bifolding doors are designed to be fitted inside the recess of the door reveal. The blinds are not intended to be screwed into the doors themselves.
The blinds can only be installed on bifolding door recesses where the doors concertina outwards.
Use a metal tape measure as cloth ones can be inaccurate.
The overall width of roller blinds including brackets is approximately 35mm wider than the fabric.
Make sure the recess is deep enough taking door handles into account allowing 53mm for the depth of the bracket.
Blinds are produced within an operating tolerance of +/-3mm
Bifolding doors come in various configurations.
You can decide how many blinds you require for the design of your doors from the typical configurations.
3 doors = 3 blinds
4 doors = 2 blinds or 4 blinds
5 doors = 2+2+1 blinds or 5 blinds
6 doors = 2+2+2 blinds
Decide if you want:
a) Blinds of equal size to each other to cover the recess space
or
b) Blinds of different sizes to each other to cover the recess space.
a) Equal sized blinds Width
Measure the overall recess space from wall to wall then divide by the number of blinds you
require then subtract 5mm from each blind size.
e.g. Overall recess 3500mm with 4 doors. 2 blinds required = 3500/2 = 1750mm -5mm = 1745mm
