Custom Roller Blinds Downtown Oshawa – Free Installation

Usually yes. We measure the tightest point of the opening rather than the widest, and we scrape the paint ridge flat where each bracket lands so it beds properly. A standard bracket wants about 40 millimetres of depth and a slim one closer to 30, which most of these old casings have. Where the reveal wanders top to bottom, we work from the smallest figure.

Not always. The fabric hangs close to the glass on a standard bracket, so a tall plant or a hook catches the bottom bar on the way down. Bring the blind onto the face of the trim and it clears everything, at the cost of covering a little more of the woodwork. Measure your tallest plant before you decide which way to go.

Not if the brackets stay clear of the pulley pockets at the top corners. Those pockets are where the cord runs over the wheel, and a bracket screwed across one jams the cord and eventually cuts it. We set the brackets inboard of them or mount on the face of the casing instead. Weight boxes down the sides are untouched either way. Say at the measure that the windows still run on cords, because a lot of them in these houses do not.

Only if they go outside the openings. Mounted on the trim, we can set every bracket at one height and match the drops so the bars sit level across the wall. Fitted inside, each blind follows its own opening and the tops will step, which the eye picks up on a shared wall. In an old room, the outside mount usually looks calmer.
