Learned a new trick today. Fitting WV in half tiled window.Instead of fixing to lintel which was awkward to access made two spacers from a piece of PVC off-cut I had in the car. Same thickness as the tiles, drilled through bracket and spacer, nice solid fix and hidden by the valance which I had ordered longer than required.
Hope this helps

It would of been even easier if you had ordered the headrail to be made longer as well  Hope this helps  |

Didn't know that was still possible. Tried it some time ago but had a problem so haven't tried since. Do you just use the special instruction box on SAM.

Hope this helps MM Another way of making a spacer is to use the wedges supplied with roof pleated blinds - if you fit two wedges back to back you get a transparent spacer about 4mm thick. Works a treat when side fixing wood venetian brackets, and I have also used it in the same way behind roller brackets. I too have tried to get wood venetians with the top box wider than the slats - succeeded a couple of times but mostly just leads to confusion, order query and delay. We need some standard accepted wording to use on order forms / SAM special instruction box, so that order processing and manufacturing recognise what is being requested. |
