Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I measure my window for day and night blinds?

A. You measure the same as you would for any other roller blind. Our handy guide can be viewed by clicking here which explains how you measure inside or outside a recess and shows exactly where to measure too and from.

Q. What colour is the cassette at the top?

A. The cassette at the top is available in either white, black or anthracite grey to suit your space perfectly. You can also choose to have the cassette fitted with the same fabric as your blind so that it co-ordinates beautifully for no extra cost.

Q. When the blind is closed will it create blackout?

A. No, the solid part of the blind is a dim-out material so will filter and soften the light but won't completely blackout the room.

Q. When the blind is lowered all the way down will the blind finish in the closed or open position?

A. The blind will finish in the closed position at the bottom of your window. For this reason it is important to have your measurements correct as there won't be additional fabric on the roll like a traditional roller blind.

Q. How do I operate the blind?

A. The blind is raised and lowered with a chain control mechanism which is fitted on the left or right hand side and comes in either white plastic, black plastic or nickel.

Q. What size is the top cassette?

A. The cassette that holds the blind is 7.8cm deep and 7.2cm tall and can be either top or face fixed, so you will need at least this much space where you want to fit the blind to install it. This blind cannot be side fixed.

Q. Are day and night vision blinds child safe?

A. Yes, the system we use is fully compliant with European safety standards and is supplied with a tensioning device to tie the chain off against the wall. As a member of the "Make it Safe" campaign, Order Blinds only sells products that are compliant with all relevant legislation.

Q. How tall is the mesh stripe compare to the opaque stripe?
Our range of fabrics alternate between 5cm of mesh and then 7.5cm of opaque material. This ensures that when you put the blind into the closed position you get complete privacy as the opaque section is larger than the mesh.
