How To Order Double Linked Blinds

Double Linked Roller Blinds can be ordered following these steps.

You are ordering 2 sets of identical Single Linked Blinds twice - one set Blockout one set Sunscreen.

  1. Select Roller Blinds, pick from Plain Blockout, Thermal Roller or Designer Roller.
  2. Click the Single Linked Blinds icon, then select the Layout Code that suits.
  3. Complete order details and select your fabric, then click Add To Cart.
  4. Repeat the above 3 steps for ordering your Sunscreen or Light Filter.
  5. Make a note in comments that you require Double Brackets for your Linked Blinds.

The comment section is found on the checkout page beneath your address details.

Tips:

  • Blind 1 is always the left-most blind when looking at window
  • Sizes of each single blind must be equal to the overall width
  • "Drive" on our Layout diagrams stands for "chain end"
  • Mention the word "Double" in the window location box e.g Lounge Door Double
  • Check you have the frame depth required for a Double Bracket 88mm x 150mm
  • Standard Roll is Blockout Blind in top slot Front Roll and Sunscreen or Light Filter in lower slot Back Roll
  • Double Blinds can be both Front Roll (to avoid handles) but Oval Bottom Rails are then recommended
  • Double Rollers look better inside a frame

Measuring Advice Based on Single Linked Blinds Layout 1:

There will be a gap where the blinds meet, measure to points that are the centre of a bar of joinery.

  1. Using a metal tape measure, first accurately measure the overall width and drop.
  2. Measure the left width to the centre of the joinery that you have chosen to split to. This is Blind 1 width.
  3. Minus left width off the overall width, this is Blind 2 width. Double check with tape measure.
  4. Individual width sizes when added together must equal the overall size. Do not allow for anything.

Tips:

  • Linked Blinds don't have to be split directly in half, for example it is common to do 1/3 and 2/3 split
  • Follow the lines of window joinery when deciding where to split your blinds
  • Linked Blinds are usually for windows and doors over 3000mm wide
  • Always measure the top tight inside width measurement as this is where brackets will be installed
