General points to consider

Child safety and installation environment

Child safety

All systems must be installed in accordance with child-safety requirements.
The control must be positioned at least 1.5 metres above floor level.
The operating chain or cord must always be kept under tension.
Each delivery includes the necessary child-safety devices for securing the control.

Heat and moisture

Avoid installing the system too close to a heat source, such as a radiator.
Avoid installing the system too close to a water source, such as a tap or shower.
High temperatures or high humidity levels may damage certain systems.

Non-invasive installation on the window frame

Width measurement The width of the blind must be at least equal to the width of the glass and no more than the width of the window frame. Ideally, the blind should extend slightly beyond the frame. Pay special attention to the window construction and any protruding elements, such as the handle, to ensure that nothing interferes with the operation of the blind.

Height measurement To measure the height, measure the height of the window frame. For blinds without side guides, subtract 7 mm from the top edge. For blinds with side guides, subtract 7 mm from both the top and the bottom.

Important: we do not shorten the dimensions you provide. The blinds are manufactured exactly according to the measurements you submit.
