 Face Fit - This is when you want your blind to hang outside the window recess.

Recess - This is when you want your blind to fit inside the window recess.

When measuring, always look out for things like window handles or tiles and take their position into account if necessary. This is so you can be sure of the perfect fit.

All our blinds can be fitted into the face of your window frame or wall, or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the positioning of your blind.
