Measuring and Installation Guide for Blinds

Choosing the right fabric for blinds

How to choose the right fabric?

When selecting a fabric, it's good to consider what the room will be used for and the light conditions you want to achieve. Choosing the right type of fabric affects not only the functionality of the blind but also the atmosphere of the entire interior. Basic types of fabrics to choose from:

Transparent (sheer) fabrics

They allow light through while maintaining a view outside. Ideal for spaces where you want to keep a connection with the outdoors while reducing harsh sunlight.

Translucent fabrics

They ensure privacy but retain pleasant natural light. Perfect choice for living rooms and offices where you need a combination of privacy and lighting.

Blackout fabrics

Ideal for bedrooms or home theaters. They provide maximum shading and create a dark environment for quality rest or watching movies.

Installation of blinds

Choosing the type of installation based on your space

Every window has its dimensions, shape, and architectural features. Properly chosen installation method not only fits perfectly into the space but also influences the overall look of the room and the functionality of the blinds. The decision depends on the interior style, window size, and your personal preferences.

Installation into the window opening (into the recess)

A discreet solution, ideal for smaller spaces or when you want to maintain the original character of the window. The blind is hidden directly in the window recess and blends with the room's architecture. This option saves space and does not create an optical "shortening" of the wall. The brackets can be mounted on the wall or ceiling.

When to choose wall mounting:

  • You want to cover the entire window opening
  • You have enough space around the window
  • You prefer a traditional look

When to choose ceiling mounting:

  • Optical enlargement of the space
  • Elegant, minimalist look
  • Maximum coverage of the window opening

Installation in front of the window opening

If you want to cover the entire window frame, front mounting is ideal. Blinds are mounted on the wall or ceiling and overhang approximately 3 – 6 cm on each side. This eliminates light penetration on the sides and achieves perfect blackout.

Installation without worries

ACCUBLIND blinds arrive fully assembled. The package includes all accessories - sturdy metal brackets, screws, and detailed instructions with pictures. Thus, installation can be completed without complicated tools and within a few minutes.

 

Battery motors: Easy DIY choice

Ideal for DIY enthusiasts who want a simple installation without electrical work.

ACCUBLIND fabric blinds are equipped with an integrated battery motor that eliminates the need for cables and complex electrical connections. As a result, the installation is simple and can be handled by anyone without the need to call a technician. The battery lasts up to 6 months with regular use, and charging is conveniently done via a USB-C connector – the same cable as your phone.

Selection of control method: What is the most practical for you?
