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

Our roller blinds for sliding 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.

Useful Information & Tips

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.

Bracket Dimensions

Bracket Dimensions - 53mm x 65mm

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.
