247 Pro Tips

Take 3 width and 3 drop measurements. Use the smallest of each.
Check for tiles, picture rails or obstructions. If the bottom is 20mm or less narrower than the top, use the top width.
Recess depth 60mm or less or inward-opening window? Choose Exact fitting.
For Exact fit, allow 35mm overlap each side. Brackets add approx. 3mm.

Additional Information

Fabric is 35–40mm narrower than the overall blind width (control side allowance).
For Recess orders, we make the necessary deductions (including 3mm on roller blinds).
Prefer to make your own allowances? Select Exact.
Side fixing inside a recess? Measure across the top and choose Exact.
Twist&Fit blinds must be measured across the top of the window where they will be fitted.
For bay windows, see our measuring guide and videos.

Frequently asked questions about this product

How does the motorised blind work?

Motorised operation removes the need for a control chain. Simply use the included remote control to raise, lower, or stop the blind smoothly at your preferred position.

Is a remote control included?

Yes — every motorised blind comes with a remote control (one per blind) and a wall holder for convenient storage.

Does the blind need charging or batteries?

The motor is powered by a rechargeable built-in lithium-ion battery, so no wiring is required.

How do I charge the blind?

The motor connects to any USB-C cable for easy charging. Please ensure the wall plug used has a 12V output. Charger and plug sold separately.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on how often you use the blind, but a full charge typically lasts for months with normal daily use.

Is the motor noisy?

No — the motor is designed for whisper quiet performance and smooth movement, ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and living spaces.

Is this blind available as Twist&Fit?

Yes — motorised operation is available on both Standard and Twist&Fit roller blinds, giving you the option of a fast, no-drill installation where suitable.

Will my window be suitable for Twist&Fit?

Twist&Fit roller blinds require a recessed window with a minimum recess depth of 52mm. They’re designed to fit snugly within the recess for a secure, drill-free fit.

Is a motorised blind child-safe?

Yes — because there’s no hanging chain or cord, motorised blinds are a safer option for homes with children and pets.

What fabric should I choose?

Choosing the right fabric depends on the room and the level of light control you need. Blackout fabrics are ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and home cinemas, as they block 100% of direct light through the material for improved sleep, privacy and relaxation. As with all roller blinds, a small amount of light may still enter at the sides due to natural gaps between the fabric and the window frame.

Dimout (light-filtering) fabrics are perfect for living rooms, kitchens and home offices, as they soften daylight and reduce glare while still allowing natural light into the room.

All roller blinds are produced with extra fabric added to the drop ordered. This is to ensure that there is enough material to conceal the metal tube when the blind is full down/closed. This is normal and standard practice throughout the industry.
