Determining where to mount your blind is not always a matter of personal preference, there are definitely plenty of practical reasons to consider when making your choice. Is blocking light more important in certain rooms? Appearance? Will it fit? Here’s what you need to know to help you decide.
Another thing to consider when Recess Mounting a Roller Blind is that there is generally a small light gap of around 15-20mm on each side of the window opening to the side of the cloth to accommodate for the brackets and mechanisms.
If light gaps are not acceptable for you, consider these options in spaces like Bedrooms, and Theatre Rooms where you would prefer the most blockout:
The downside for a Back Roll is that the roll and hardware show – a look some people don’t like. There are some remedies such as Waterfall Rolling (Front Rolling) your blind, selecting “Cassette” as your control system (only if available for your dimensions), or adding one of our valances as this provides a more finished look.
All of our back rolled blinds have extra fabric added to the drop so that when wound all the way down will never show the raw tubing.
A Waterfall (Front) Roll means the fabric comes over the front of the roller, so you do not see it around the tubing, it creates a more finished look. The Waterfall Roll is also good for clearing an obstruction, like a window crank or door handle because it pushes the fabric away from the glass.
Waterfall Rolls are also used for fabrics that have two different colours on each side.
Because having a Waterfall Roll pushes the fabric away from the window glass, for Face Fixed Mounts specifically, you should consider Back (Standard) Roll
Please note that our Zebra Roller Blinds only come in a Cassette System and roll direction is not applicable to them.

The long thread that holds each slat together on your average venetian blind is called the ladder. This ladder is punched through a routing hole on each slat and allow your blinds to rotate and lift in unison.
This is our standard option, giving you a slim headrail with ladder strings
With this option, you will get a thicker headrail with ladder strings
Not only will you get a high profile rail, but also ladder tape, instead of strings. Ladder tapes don’t just add style, but also serve a functional purpose in blocking out extra light by covering up the routed holes on each blind slat.

Our most popular slat size when it comes to vertical blinds, these louvres look great in larger windows, offering more coverage, more chance to enjoy our stunning fabrics and much fewer gaps between slats. Fewer gaps always mean less light leakage. This slat size is also priced better than our 90mm option.
Our 90mm slats are a stylish alternative and are great for hanging in smaller windows. They fit the space much more neatly and compactly. They’re great for larger windows too, if that’s what you prefer. Our golden rule is always to match slat sizes across multiple windows, so if you have a smaller window that suits 90mm we reckon it’s a good idea to go with them across the board. More expensive than the 127mm option as they require more fabric and components.
