For guidance on providing measurements for a roller blind, please refer to our measuring guide by clicking here.
Fitting inside a recess:
During manufacture a 5mm deduction will be made to the width of the recess measurements provided. This is to ensure the blind can be fitted inside the recess. If you do not wish us to make this allowance then please select blind size and state the exact size of the blind. Do not use fabric size when fitting inside a window recess.
Fitting outside a recess:
We recommend ordering using ‘blind size including brackets’ not ‘fabric size’. Please note the fabric width will be 35mm-40mm narrower than the blind size, so please account for this when providing your measurements to ensure the fabric is wide enough for your requirements.
If ordering ‘fabric size’ this will be the width of the fabric and the blind system (including brackets) will be 35mm-40mm wider than the fabric size.
– All roller blinds are produced with extra fabric added to the drop, this is to ensure there is enough material to conceal the metal tube when the blind is fully closed.
– All items are cut to size and will be accurate with working tolerances and variances of +/- 5mm.
Multiple Blinds: if you have roller blinds of varying widths and drops in the same room, please let us know in the comments section when ordering. We can then review the specifications and can look to standardise the barrel diameters if required. This will standardise the look of the blinds, and if motorised, ensure the blinds rise and fall at similar speeds.

Louvolite Spring Return is a blind operating system designed for use with blinds up to 2.5m wide. It uses a spring mechanism to balance the weight of the blind allowing you to adjust the position of the blind by hand. The blind will stay in position until moved again.
Here are some key features of this system:
Smooth operation: The spring mechanism ensures the blind stays in position when lowered and raises again when some upward movement is applied to the blind.
Safe design: There are no chains or cords involved, making it a safer option for homes with children or pets.
Easy to use: Simply adjust the position by hand.
Compatible systems: This system works with Louvolite’s System 32® and System 40® roller blinds, which are suitable for blinds up to 2m (System 32®) and 2.5m (System 40®) wide.
If you’re looking for a user-friendly and safe way to operate your roller blinds, the Louvolite Spring Return system is a good option to consider.
Please note: this control mechanism is only suitable if you can easily reach the top and bottom of the blind. All blinds come with a clear plastic handle that fits over the bottom bar to protect the blind fabric when adjusting the position of your blind.
All of our motorised roller blinds are supplied with Somfy motors who are industry experts in the category.
When ordering a motorised roller blind we need to know:
How is your blind being powered?
How is your blind being controlled?
How if your blind being powered?
Battery control – integrates seamlessly into the window covering of your choice. The battery will only need charging twice a year.
230V power supply
*Home control systems may require 12V or 24V
How is your blind being controlled:
Somfy Zigbee 3.0 – new technology
Somfy Radio Technology (RTS)
*Home Control System wired technology – WT
*Home Control System dry contract technology – DCT
*Your AV company will be able to advise how your blinds will be powered and which control system you require to integrate your blinds with your home control system.
Somfy RTS vs Somfy Zigbee:
Somfy Zigbee 3.0 is the new technology from Somfy that offers more flexibility, versatility and integration than Somfy RTS.
RTS communicates omnidirectional whereas Zigbee offers bi-directional communication which offers some advantages:
The bi-directoinal feedback enables live product status / position of your blinds.
RTS that offers open / closed or open to the pre-set ‘MY’ position, whereas Zigbee offers 99 intermediate opening / closing positions for increased flexibility.
RTS has a fixed range up to 20m, whereas you can keep adding to the Zigbee mesh network for infinite reach.
Zigbee offers faster charging (and on screen information on your battery level) and utilises standard USB-c charges.
Zigbee enables us to offer enhanced after sales support by logging in remotely (with your permission) to the Somfy Professional platform so we can help identify and rectify any issues remotely.
Both Somfy RTS and Somfy Zigbee 3.0 are compatible with the Somfy TaHoma Switch which is a Smart Home Control to centralise and connect home equipment. If integrating your Zigbee powered blind with the Somfy TaHoma Switch you do not need a remote control or wall switch for the set up. This can be done from the TaHoma App. If you have specified a Somfy RTS powered blind a remote control or wall switch will be required for set up.
Wall switches and remote controls are available for both Zigbee and RTS controlled blinds:
This wall switch makes a stylish statement, while offering all the benefits of a single channel remote. This battery-operated solution is easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician.
New timeless look, with interchangeable frames to match any room.
Surface-mount avoids cutting into drywall.
Completely wireless.
Quick and simple installation.
Includes open, close and stop functions, and programmable ‘my’ button.
Located on a wall provides an ideal way to operate motorised products when entering or exiting a room.
This multi channel wall switch can control multiple RTS products individually and as a group. In addition to the 4 individual channels, you can create temporary groups by selecting a combination of the 4 channels. The relevant led’s are pressed to select a temporary group, then the direction or stop button is pressed to operate the blinds. The command signals are sent consecutively to each channel, with the corresponding channel LED blinking during operation.
The three control buttons provide raise, lower and stop control functionality. A favourite position can also be programmed and recalled at the touch of a button (‘my’ button).
Remote Controls
Situo 1 RTS HAND-HELD REMOTES
Situo hand-held remotes offer convenient and simple operation of every type of motorised application. Single channel remotes can operate one individual product or be used to operate a group of motorised products simultaneously.
Examples:
Use the single channel to operate a motorised blind above your sink.
Use the single channel to operate a group of motorised blinds in your dining room. The blinds will raise and lower at the same time.
SITUO 5 RTS MULTI-CHANNEL HAND-HELD REMOTES
Five channel remotes offer more functionality because they offer an additional 5 channels of control. Each channel can still operate one individual product, such as a single motorised blind, or a group of motorised products, such as all the motorised blinds on the first floor. With a total of five channels, you can set the preferences that suit your lifestyle requirements.
Examples:
Use channel one for one motorised blind in your kitchen.
Use channel two for two motorised roman blinds in your living room.
Use channel three for the motorised curtain tracks in your dining room.
Use channel four for the motorised roller blinds in the bedroom.
Use the fifth channel as a master to activate all of your motorised products.
TELIS 1 CHRONIS RTS & TELIS 6 CHRONIS RTS
Telis Chronis RTS combines the functionality of a hand-held control with the convenience of a programmable timer.
Quick Set Feature allows you to easily program or change the automatic operation of motorized applications with a brief button press.
Schedule one open and one close function per day with the automatic mode.
Different scheduled operation available for weekends and weekdays.
Offers a manual mode which disables the timed functions and allows you to use it as a remote anytime.
Comes factory pre-programmed with default time 7:30am OPEN, 8:00pm CLOSE,so if this schedule suits you, you can start using your timer right away.
Can be hand-held or stationary on a wall using the wall mount clip.
Timer features allow you to really make your motorised products work for you!
Examples:
Schedule your bedroom window coverings to open at 7am during the week and at 8:30am on weekends to enjoy a leisurely morning in bed.
Or if your have a flexible schedule, use the two different schedules on days that work best for you.
Utilise the manual mode at any time to simply open or close your blinds, regardless of set schedules, without losing them.
Power Options
The most popular power options are Li ion battery or 230v mains power. We do offer alternative power options and these are most commonly used if you are integrating your blinds with a home control system where you are supplying your windows with a 12v or 24v power supply. An overview of these options is provided below.
Solar
For our battery operated blinds, we also offer the option of adding a solar panel. Although this will not totally eliminate the need to recharge your battery, it will trickle charge the battery to increase the amount of time in between battery charges. Please note, the effectiveness of the solar panel will be dictated by the amount of direct sunlight received. South facing aspects will provide the greatest efficiency.
Other power options – 12v and 24v
TaHoma Switch Home Hub

Home control system integration
The easiest home automation solution is provided by the Somfy Tahoma Switch, however if you already have a home automation system in place, there are lots of options available for you.
Somfy has partnered with major smart home platforms and high-end home automation brands to allow for seamless integration. For details on the integration with Crestron, Control 4, Legrand, Elan and Smart things click here for more information.
Integrating Somfy RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) motors with home automation systems.
If your system is not already integrated with the Tahoma Switch then there are still lots of integration solutions. Most home automation systems have two possible switching capabilities that can be used to control Somfy RTS motors. These are RS485 or Volt-Free (some have RS232 however you can get RS232 to RS485 Converters). We have two solutions for these switching methods. The first one is for smaller installations of no more than say 4 motors. This is the Dry Contact Transmitter. This is a single channel unit that converts a Volt-Free switching method into an RTS signal that is recognised by the RTS motor. If more than 4 motors are being installed then we would recommend the use of the RS485 RTS Transmitter. This unit has 16 Channels allowing either 16 motors for individual operation or using the channels for group commands (up to 8 motors for one channel). This unit takes the RS485 data line as a form of control and converts it to RTS to control the motors.
Before ordering we would recommend finding out the capabilities of the home automation system in question. Can it provide Volt-Free switching and/or RS232/RS485?
Integrating Somfy WT (Wired Technology) or DCT (Dry Contact Technology) motors with home automation systems.
Both the mains powered Movelite 35 and Glydea 60 Somfy motors can be specified with either WT (Wired Technology) or DCT (Dry Contact Technology) motors.
The WT motor will switch the motor using the 230/240v supply integrated with your home control system.
The DCT motor is switched by a Volt-Free dry contact, provided by the home control system.
Before ordering we would recommend finding out the capabilities of the home automation system in question.
Integrating Somfy Zigbee motors with home automation systems.
Zigbee 3.0 is the only complete IoT solution, from mesh network to the universal language, that allows smart objects to work together:
MESH: Zigbee 3.0 harnesses the power of the mesh to connect every product to every other product. If one product fails, the others will continue to communicate without interruption.
INTEROPERABLE: Products work together seamlessly, even if they’re from different companies.
Before ordering we would recommend finding out the capabilities of the home automation system in question.
A mounting profile is useful when fixing is not possible at the end of the blind.
Easy to install: the mounting profile can be installed quickly and easily. To offer flexibility in fitting, the mounting profile is supplied with clamp brackets that can be fitted anywhere along the headrail.
Please note the mounting profile is an optional extra.
Both roller blind fascia and closed cassette systems offer a way to enclose and conceal the roller blind mechanism for a cleaner and more finished look compared to having an exposed roller tube.
Please watch our YouTube video above that explains all the options available.
Recess Fitting in a Blindspace Blind Box: please note the blind box is a separate purchase. We do however need to know that your blinds are being fitting in the boxes so we can ensure the correct fixings are sent to you with your blind. This question is asked under ‘Please select your roller blind preference’ as your specify your roller blind.
Please see the differences between the Fascia and Cassette options below:
Fascia System:
Simpler Design: A fascia system is essentially a decorative cover that is integrated into, or fits around the existing roller tube. It comes in various height options depending on the amount of coverage required.
Less Enclosure: The fascia doesn’t fully enclose the roller tube mechanism, but if fitting within a recess it stops light ingress above the roller blind tube.
Visibility of Roller Tube: The roller tube might still be visible from the front (depending on the size of your blind and fascia specified), and the tube will be visible when viewed from underneath.
Closed Cassette System:
Complete Enclosure: A closed cassette system is a box-like structure that completely surrounds the roller tube and operating mechanism.
Light Blocking: The cassette can improve light blocking by eliminating light gaps around the roller tube.
Blind Size Limitations: if you have a very long drop, and are considering a thick blackout fabric a fascia system may be a better option as the blind may become too large to fit inside a cassette.
Please note when a roller blind is enclosed in a cassette the fabric has to come off the back of the roller.
Fascia Options
Integrated Fascia:
This is an integral fascia system that is supplied as a complete unit with the roller blind. This is available in two height options, 40mm and 70mm. These fascia systems are available in three colours; white, black and anthracite grey. Alternatively the front of the fascia can be fabric covered with the roller blind fabric to create a truly co- ordinated look.
Capital Fascia:
The Capital Fascias offer a sleek and stylish finish to any blind and are a popular choice. The Capital Fascia is available in two heights, 90mm and 120mm, and 6 contemporary colours to co-ordinate with your window or door frames; black, anthracite, white, brushed silver, champagne and cream (please note the 90mm option is only available in black, white, anthracite and brushed silver).
The Capital Fascia is suitable for concealing other blind systems, and curtain tracks, so is a good option if you would like to have a uniformed look across your windows.
The Capital Fascia can be shopped as a stand alone product on our website and is suitable for retro fitting around existing blinds or curtain tracks. This fascia is also suitable for bay windows.
Watch our YouTube video for further information on the Capital Fascia system:
Closed Cassette Options
Closed cassettes wrap fully around the roller blind, concealing more of the roller blind when viewed from below and are available in the following colours:
White
Black
Anthracite Grey
The cassettes can also be fabric covered, matching the fabric of your roller blind.
Two different sized cassettes are available. The size of your blind will determine the optimum roller tube specified and this will dictate the size of the cassette supplied. The specifications for both systems can be found in the technical brochures tab. If you are ordering multiple blinds of different sizes for the same room please pop a note at the checkout to let us know and we will ensure the cassettes are all the same size for a uniformed look.
Reverse roll is not available in a closed cassette (fabric coming off the front of the roller).
The maximum drop will be dictated by the fabric selected, so for a very long drop (over 3m) please get in touch to confirm the suitability of your chosen fabric in a closed cassette.

Bottom Bar Options for Roller Blinds: Finding the Perfect Finish
Fabric Covered Bottom Bar
Round Bottom Bar
Gemini Bottom Bar
We offer a variety of bottom bar options to complement your roller blinds and enhance their functionality. Watch our YouTube video above for an overview of the options available.
Fabric Pocket with Weight:
This is a popular option. It features a pocket at the bottom of the blind that holds a weighted bar. This provides stability and helps the blind hang straight. Light filtering fabrics will have a stitched pocket and blackout fabrics will have a bonded pocket (to eliminate light ingress through the stitching). Benefits: Simple and effective at keeping the blind taut.
Fabric Covered Bottom Bar:
This option adds a decorative touch with an oval-shaped bar fully covered in the same fabric as the blind. Benefits: Creates a cohesive look, ideal for those who want the bottom bar to blend seamlessly with the blind, whilst creating a very subtle design feature at the bottom of the blind. This is our standard option.
Gemini Bottom Bar:
This metal bottom bar option is available in a choice of five colour options (white, black, silver, anthracite grey and chrome) and you can specify whether you would like the angled or smooth side visible. Benefits: Provides versatility, allowing you to create a more distinct design feature at the bottom of your blind by either selecting a complementary or contrasting colour bottom bar.
Round Bottom Bar:
This classic option utilises a round metal bar for a stylish look. Benefits: Offers a clean and timeless design, perfect for traditional or contemporary settings. Available in white and silver.
Choosing the right bottom bar depends on your desired aesthetics and functionality. For a simple and functional option, the fabric pocket or fabric covered bottom bars are a great choice. If you prefer a more decorative look, consider the coloured Gemini bar or the round bar for a classic style.
The image below shows the fabric covered bottom bar which is the standard option.
Capital Fascia Bottom Bars
If you have ordered a Capital Fascia to conceal your blind, you can order a co-ordinating bottom bar available in 4 finishes; white, black, anthracite grey and brushed silver.
Side guides on roller blinds offer a couple of key benefits:
Light control and privacy: by keeping the fabric taut and close to the window frame, side guides prevent gaps that might let in light or allow people to see in. This is especially important for blackout blinds where maximizing light blockage is crucial.
Reduced flapping and damage: without side guides, especially on larger windows or with lightweight fabrics, the blind material can flap in the breeze. This can be frustrating, damage the fabric over time, and make it harder to control the amount of light coming in. The side guides act like a track, keeping the fabric rolled up neatly and preventing this flapping.
Side guides contribute to a cleaner look, better light control, and a longer lifespan for your roller blinds.
Please note: Side guides can only be supplied on blinds with a fabric covered bottom bar, so the option to add side guides will only appear if this bottom bar is specified. This is needed to ensure compatibility of your blind with the side guides.
FIXING THE GUIDE WIRE BRACKET (R8166/88) TO THE ROLLER BLIND BRACKET
These brackets are universal for left hand or right hand, face fix or top fix – to suit the roller blind brackets and they should be fitted with the screws supplied.
Universal Guide Wire Bracket
FACE FIXING
The guide wire bracket is fixed onto the face and will locate and fix into the base hole of the roller blind bracket – not the slot – on both sides with the supplied fixing screws.
TOP FIXING
The guide wire bracket is fixed to the back face of the roller blind bracket. This will then locate and fix into the back hole of the roller blind bracket (not the slot) on both sides with the appropriate fixing screw.
Face Fix – Right Hand Bracket
Top Fix – Right Hand Bracket
An allowance is required for the bracket to be fixed away from the back of the recess. This is dependant on what system is to be used:
System 32 – Allow 10mm
System 40 – No allowance
System 45 – Allow 5mm
FITTING THE GUIDE WIRE AND BLIND
Attach a barrel clamp (R8190) to one end of an appropriate length of guide wire. Feed it from the top and down through the hole in the base of the guide wire brackets.
Place the roller blind into its brackets and deploy it to the bottom position.
Feed the wire through the end cap slot and down through the top cover. Attach a barrel clamp over the guide wire and pull taught to suit the drop. Tighten the barrel clamp and cut off the excess wire. Slide fit the top cover over the base plate.
Base Plate and covers
Place and align the base plate and cover into the end caps and mark the correct position where it has to be fixed – this could be face or base fixed. Remove the top cover and then fasten the base plate with a No 6 screw.
Do this to both guide wires
OPERATING THE BLIND.
For a conventional roller blind, in order to lower the blind, pull the rearmost length of chain downwards with a smooth and steady pressure. To roll the blind up do the same on the front length of chain.
For a reverse roll blind the opposite is true, to lower use the front chain and to raise, use the rear chain.
CHILD SAFETY
For chain operated blinds, the blind will be supplied with either chain break joiners attached to the operating chain, or a P Clip chain retainer that will need to be fitted to the wall.
Chain Break Joiners
Two chain break joiners are connected to the operating chain 200mm apart. This ensures that at least one of them will be in the vertical position ensuring they perform as required. If excessive weight is applied within the loop a chain break joiner will break apart. If a joiner comes apart then it will need to be re-connected. To re-connect, check the joiner for damage. If undamaged, re-connect the chain by inserting the last ball on the end of the chain into the larger hole of the joiner and push it into place. A blind with a chain break joiner can be fitted with the chain finishing 60cm above the ground.
P-Clip Chain Retainer
Alternatively a P-Clip Chain Retainer can be supplied. The bottom of the chain must then be fitted at least 150cm from the floor. The P-Clip must then be secured on the wall.
Blindspace – Blind Box Profiles now with Patented Blindspace Roller Blind Brackets.
Designed to Disappear
Blindspace blind box profiles to conceal any type of blind, in any type of window. The unique Blindspace design provides millimetre precision and a better finished aesthetic than traditional building methods whilst saving you time in both design and installation.
The hidden space inside the wall or ceiling can be prepared for manual or electric blinds and accessed for blind installation when construction work is completed. From the smallest windows to massive doors and skylights, our solutions are made to make any blind disappear. The alternative is surface-mounted products with visible side channels, cables or cords.
Multiple Configurations
Blinds are concealed in any of the following ways using Blindspace boxes.
Concealed inside the wall.
Concealed inside the ceiling, with the blind gap towards the window or towards the room.
Standard S Series
Blindspace S Series is new for 2022. It features the patented Blindspace Safety Hinge that secures the cover in place and can be installed in any direction, allowing for side boxes to hide blind side channels or guide wires. Popular in floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, S Series can be installed to future-proof buildings to have the option for later installation of concealed blinds.
Features and Benefits
RAL Colour Matching
All Blindspace blind box profiles can be primed and painted on site, alternatively we can offer a colour matching service to any RAL reference. Either the entire box or just the hinged cover plate can be colour matched. In most instances if the box is being fully recessed, it will only be the hinged cover plate that would need to be colour matched. Both options are available when you specify the product above. For the majority of colours a powder coating process is used, however for some special colours that are not available in powder coat, a durable wet spray paint will be applied. The Standard profiles are supplied in RAL 9003 30% gloss.
Buy Blindspace blind box profiles online using our product configurator – or call for assistance and advice.
Our prices are for a fully made to measure specification cut to your exact specification. All our prices include end caps as standard.
Blinds can be concealed inside the wall or inside the ceiling, with the blind gap towards the window or towards the room. The most common configuration in windows and doors, is to use a headbox only, however in rooms where blackout blinds may be required, Blindspace side boxes and bottom boxes are also frequently used.
As a general rule, blinds should be installed as close to the window as possible to minimize gaps on the sides of the blind. This increase privacy, reduce light coming in and warm air circulating to the room. With Blindspace side boxes, gaps can be eliminated and 100% blackout can be achieved.
It is important to allow for protruding door and window handles when configuring the blind gap close to the window.
