Good morning!

Please measure the size of the opening you wish to cover. Our vent covers are listed by the size of the opening.

Example: If you have an opening that measures 12 x 6 then you would order a 12 x 6. The overall dimensions would be larger.

Thank you,

Has anyone had blinds made to measure?

For great value I would use blinds 2 go. You measure your own, put in the details and about a week later blinds delivered and they fit perfectly - I find it worth the extra £10-20 than messing with cutting. I have black out rollers from them and will be getting Roman blinds at a later date. I think the only option for the round window (without expensive bespoke) is to get a small blind outside of recess - prob roller to maximise light in

Hi Susie, you said above that you are going for a Roman blind and wanted some advice on the fitting. Below are some points to consider. You can buy Roman blinds with various backings. As this is your bedroom, ensure that it definitely comes with a blackout rather than a dimout backing. If it is surface-mounted (i.e., outside of the window frame) then less light will appear down the two sides of the fabric. If it is recessed, you are likely to experience more ‘light ingress’. You can choose to have it manually-operated (e.g., via chains made of plastic or metal beads) or remote-controlled (via mains or rechargeable batteries). Although a powered blind is more expensive, it is rather fun to operate it from the comfort of your bed. You can even have it opening and closing automatically at sunrise and sunset (or at other periods) via a timer that knows your longitude and latitude, or from abroad (for security reasons) via a smart phone if you are into technological living! Joy.

Beam measurements from Structural Engineers drawings?
Q

Ellie, the structural engineer does not appear to have given design heights to the underside of the new beams. This may well be intentional as he may not be sure what is above your existing ceiling unless he cut out a small test hole to carry out an inspection. He should however be able to give you an approximate height to the underside of the beams which would include the plasterboard cladding, which as Verity * Beverley rightly pointed out will almost certainly be required. It will then be up to you to ensure that the builder does not go below this height as it may affect the heights of your kitchen wall units. Not a big problem for standard wall units but a nightmare for a floor to ceiling unit. Make sure that your builder is aware that this is a "critical" dimension. In conclusion speak to your structural engineer and he will give you an approximate floor height dimension that you can work to allowing you to design your kitchen. Best of luck with you project!
