Measuring Instructions: Roller Blinds & Electric Roller Blinds For Sliding Doors

Door Configurations

Sliding doors come in various configurations, most commonly 2/3/4 doors. However to avoid the control chains hanging down we only recommend a maximum of 2 blinds, one left and one right hand control.

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 each blind

Drop
Measure from the top inside recess where the brackets are fitted to the floor.

Order each blind as bracket to bracket size.

b) Different sized blinds
Width
Use a pencil to place a small mark on the recess where each bracket will be fitted, then measure the size between each mark.

Drop
Measure from the top inside recess where the brackets are fitted to the floor, do not make any deductions.

Order each blind as bracket to bracket size.
