Help with measuring for powered tube

Before recording your measurements, please follow these simple steps to ensure your powered blind is an exact fit:

1. Use a metal tape measure for accurate measurements.
2. Make sure you have a pen and paper ready to record your measurements in centimeters.
3. Take into account any obstructions such as window handles or tiles, etc.

Important note when measuring for your powered tube
We will fabricate your powered tube so that the roller tube is cut to the exact width submitted to match your fabric width. The overall bracket to bracket width will be your roller tube width + 36mm.

Select Mounting *

Select how to mount your powered tube

Please select this option when you want your powered blind fitted outside the window recess. The blind will be overlapping the window recess on both sides.

Please select this option when you want your powered blind fitted inside the window recess. Make sure that you have taken into consideration any window fixtures such as handles or locks or any other obstruction that could obstruct the movement of your blind.

Help with mounting your powered tube

Inside Recess Fit

Take three measurements across the width and
height of the recess and use the shortest measurements recorded when ordering your
powered blind.

Outside Recess Fit

Before taking your measurements, you must decide on how much fabric overlap you would like over the window recess. Take this into account when recording your measurements along with the 3.6cm allowance across the width for the brackets and motor head.

Battery Packs
Most batteries are mounted directly below & behind the blind within the window recess (position 1) or above & behind the blind if outside the window recess (position 2). The battery pack can also be mounted vertically if preferred (position 3).

The plug-in power pack provides a permanent power feed to the motor with the power pack taking power from a standard 230V socket outlet and the supply cable connected to the blind motor. The supply cable of the power pack is 3M long, so a socket outlet within close proximity of the motorised blind will be required.
