You can also follow our written measurement guides below.

 Two Linked Blinds

 Step 1) Choose face fit or recess fit as your mounting method.

 Step 2) Take overall measurement. Always reference the overall dimension to confirm individual blind lengths are correct

 Example 1)

3200mm overall measurement. Blind measurement could be

ie; 1600mm + 1600mm= 3200mm.

 Example 2)

Blind measurement could be any value which equals 3200mm overall;

i.e; 1645mm +1555mm=3200mm.

Important Note: Take into consideration where you would like to join your blinds; ie centre off window mullion or to the side of a door. If you are joining over a mullion. take the blind measurement to where you would like the centre to be.

Step 3) Take note on how you would like the operation of your blinds left or right side or just one side ( A multilink system will operate two linked blinds together)

Note; there is around 10mm gap either side of the centre of blind brackets, when blinds are manufactured to allow for blind fittings. Light gaps are normally around 20mm between both blinds, as a total gap.

 Three linked Blinds

1) Measure finished overall width first.
2) Measure left or right Blind to centre of where you would like blind to join (document measurement and reference left or right blind)
3) Measure entire length to next middle join from the same side that first blind was measured (document measurement and reference middle blind) based on that measurement deduct blind point (2)
4) Use the entire overall measurement point (1) and deduct measurement point (3). This will give you the final blind measurement.
5) The total of blinds point (2) + (3) + (4) must equal the overall measurement of point (1).
The factory makes the correct overall length and blind deductions/joins will equal the measurements inputted.

Example 1)

3600mm overall measurement. Blind measurement could be

ie; 1200mm + 1200mm + 1200mm = 3600mm

Example 2)

Blind measurement could be any value which equals 3600mm overall;

i.e; 1200mm +1400mm + 1000mm = 3600mm.

Important Note: Take into consideration where you would like to join your blinds; ie centre off window mullion or to the side of a door. If you are joining over a mullion. take the blind measurement to where you would like the centre to be.

For Three Linked Roller Blinds, make note which side you would like to operate middle blind. A Battery Motor and Zero Gravity System, can allow the flexibility of three blinds working separately if required. A multilink system will operate two linked blinds together and one blind will lift independent. Battery Motors can also work the same way if required.

Note; there is around 10mm gap either side of the centre of blind brackets, when blinds are manufactured to allow for blind fittings. Light gaps are normally around 20mm between both blinds, as a total gap.The factory will make these deductions based on centre measurements provided.Take note on how you would like the operation of your blinds left or right side, as you are documenting.
