- Option A: Determine dimensions for mounting inside the recess
Measure the width at the top of the window recess and measure the height at the middle of the window recess. Please note! We supply the blind with a 3 mm reduction on both sides. So don't do any reductions yourself! Please also note a system height of 100 mm for possible obstacles such as doors and windows turning inwards.
- Option B: Determine dimensions for mounting outside the recess
Measure the width and height of the window recess, with a small overlap. We recommend an overlap of 5 cm on both sides. Add a total of 10 cm to the width measurement. To determine the height, add 10 cm (height of system) to the height of your window recess. Do you want your blind to continue downwards? Then decide how many extra centimetres you want in height.
You can choose to hang your blind inside the recess or outside the recess:
- Inside the recess
If you hang the roller blind inside the recess, it is mounted between the walls of your window. With this choice, we therefore supply your blind with a 3 mm reduction on both sides.
- Outside the recess
If you hang the blind outside the recess, it is mounted on the wall and hangs over the window with overlap on both sides.

By choosing a motor side, you determine on which side you want to operate and charge your Smartblinds. If you choose the left side, the motor, pull-down controller and charging port are located on the left side of the product. Would you like this to be on the right-hand side? Then choose right.
Here you can fill in a reference for your assembled blind. That way you will soon know exactly which product is for which window in your house!
When you are looking for window coverings, it is important to determine beforehand what transparency you want in certain rooms. In bedrooms, for example, more blackout is usual than in the living room. Smartblinds fabrics can be divided into three different transparencies:
Blackout
Opacity: none - Light from outside is completely blocked and has no possibility to illuminate rooms.
Light filtering
Opacity: limited - Light from outside is obstructed, but not completely blocked.
Sheer
Opacity: full - Light from outside finds its way in, but the fabric offers the desired privacy.
Your blinds should, of course, match your interior. The colour and look of fabrics and materials can sometimes differ from reality from a screen or due to differences in light transmission. We therefore always recommend requesting free fabric samples in advance, so you can assess the fabric (colour) in real life!
A lining affects both the look and functionality of your Roman blind or curtain. It can help make the fabric appear fuller, improve insulation and allow you to better tailor the amount of light entering your room.
No lining
A good choice if you mainly want to preserve the appearance of the fabric and do not need extra insulation or blackout properties.
Light-filtering lining
Ideal if you would like extra insulation while still allowing natural light into your home. This lining also gives the Roman blind or curtain a more beautiful, fuller finish.
Blackout lining
The best choice for rooms where you want more privacy, insulation and blackout effect. Perfect, for example, for the bedroom or a room where bright light is unwanted.
Not sure which lining will suit best? Simply order free colour samples of both the Roman blind or curtain fabric and the lining. By placing the samples behind one another at home, you can immediately see how the combination will look in your interior.
Enkele plooi
De enkele plooi is een strakke en moderne plooivorm waarbij de stof op vaste
punten één keer wordt samengevouwen. Hierdoor ontstaat een rustige uitstraling
met een gelijkmatige verdeling van de stof.
- Moderne, minimalistische uitstraling
- Minder volle gordijnplooi
- Geschikt voor lichte tot middelzware stoffen
- Valt strak en netjes
Dubbele plooi
De dubbele plooi bestaat uit twee samengevouwen plooien per plooihaak. Hierdoor
krijgt het gordijn meer volume en een rijkere uitstraling dan een enkele plooi.
- Luxere en vollere uitstraling
- Mooie, gelijkmatige valling
- Geschikt voor vrijwel alle gordijnstoffen
- Populaire keuze voor woon- en slaapkamers
Wave
Bij een wave-gordijn wordt de stof met een speciale rail en runners in een
constante golvende vorm gehangen. Hierdoor ontstaan gelijkmatige, vloeiende
golven over de volledige breedte van het gordijn.
- Moderne en elegante uitstraling
- Strakke, gelijkmatige golven
- Geschikt voor grote raampartijen
- Valt zowel geopend als gesloten zeer decoratief
Let op: Voor een wave-gordijn is een speciale wave-rail nodig
om het karakteristieke golfeffect te creëren.
Our systems are available in two sizes, small and large. The small system is suitable for small to medium-sized day and night blinds. For large sized blinds, only a large system is possible. Our advice is to start by putting together the day and night blind for your largest window in the house. If it turns out that you can only choose a large system for this blind, we recommend doing the same for the rest of your Smartblinds. This way you avoid having multiple Smartblinds in your home with different systems. Is your largest product also suitable for a small system? Then choose the system size that you prefer.
Below you will find the system height of the various systems, so that you can take this into account when ordering. Are you mounting your product in the window, but do you have a window that opens inwards? Then you can use this to check whether you have enough room for this.
