Product Description
Product Description

The Prestige Red Venetian BiFold Door Blind boasts quick and easy installation coupled with stylish good looks whilst maintaining a robust and well-supported shading system. This Red coloured Red venetian blind is fitted within the bifold door and provides fantastic shading opportunities as well as providing increased thermal and solar reflective benefits to a room. This 25mm slat can be rotated to allow light to enter the room, or enjoy increased shading with a twist of the detachable wand.

Our Prestige Venetian blind slats are combined with a colour matched corded ladder. The slats sit on these ladders and are used to raise, lower and rotate the slats. For our Prestige Red Venetian BiFold Door Blind the cord ladders are Bright Red.

The Prestige hardware is available in either White, Black or Anthracite. The adhesive strips that run vertically down the sides of the glass are colour matched to the hardware, ensuring a seamless and clean looking finish. The headrail and bottom bar are held in place using the unique clic-fit fixing method, which requires no screws or drills. Simply slide the end tabs into place and click the headrail and bottom bar in to secure, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Prestige Bifold Door Blinds Technical Details

The Prestige Venetian Blinds consist of a headrail, a bottom bar (known as hardware) with the blind itself using 25mm slats to shade a window. Running vertically down each side of the windowpane, next to the gaskets, are 2 self-adhesive strips that colour match the hardware. No screws are required, the blind is held in place by metal brackets that slide under the rubber gasket that runs around the windowpane. These blinds require a gasket depth of 17mm (from frame to glass).

The Venetian slats are held in place by a corded ladder that is fixed to the headrail, meaning this blind is operated from a top-down only method. The slats can be left at any point down the window thanks to the cords that run from top to bottom. The hardware (top and bottom bar) comes white as standard but you are able to choose anthracite painted metal.

To hold the headrail in place at the top of the window, a self-adhesive strip is fitted to the glass vertically down the window. This strip is 15mm wide and 1mm thick and it is colour matched to the hardware in either white or anthracite.

The headrail and bottom bars measure 19.5mm deep and 15mm high and measure 32mm from glass to the front of the folded operating handle on the bar.

We allow a +/- 1-2mm tolerance on our window blind deductions when cutting.

Please note we make a 4mm deduction to the width to allow for smooth operation of the blind.

The venetian slats are the same colour on both sides and are rotated by a detachable wand on the headrail. This plastic wand is clear plastic.

The length of the supplied wands will depend on several factors, most notably the drop of the blind. As a rule, wands will be provided longer than shown in our images. If you find the wands too long, either from an aesthetic view or practical use, they can easily be shortened using a general-purpose hacksaw (or similar). Alternatively, you can specify your desired length by emailing us immediately after you’ve ordered, quoting your order number.

If you wish to know how much space the headrail and fabric will take up at the top of the window, you’ll first need to know the drop measurement. For every metre on the drop measurement, add 10mm. Take this and add it to 30mmm (the combined height of the top bar and pull down bar) and you’ll have a rough estimate for the size that will be covered when the blind is fully drawn up.

 

How to Measure
How to Measure

How to Measure

Prestige Bifold door blinds are held in place by brackets that slide under the rubber gasket and are held against the glass. Take a look at the window. You’ll see a rubber seal that runs around the glass. This is called a gasket (some refer to it as a seal, either way, it’s the rubber “bit” located between the edge of your doors and the glass!)

Use a credit card or butter knife and slide it behind the gasket to check that you can get the blind’s tab under it. This is to replicate the thickness of the bracket used to install this blind. For these blinds to work correctly, you need a rubber gasket and not a foam gasket. Some gaskets are stuck down, and if this is the case, your window isn’t suitable for pleated blinds.

Mark on the card or knife where the gasket reaches and then remove it from the window. Measure from the edge of the card or knife to the mark. This distance needs to be at least 17mm for your window to be suitable. If it is not 17mm, we don’t recommend this type of blind for your window.

Step 1.


Slide a butter knife/credit card behind the rubber gasket.

 

Step 2.


Mark on the knife/card where it natually comes to a stop.
If you have a gasket that measures at least 17mm or more then the Prestige Bifold Door should be suitable for your doors.


Measure the width from the inside part of the window where the gasket ends on one side to where the gasket starts on the other. Repeat this for the top to the bottom too to get the drop measurement.
Please note we will make a 4mm overall deduction to the width of the blind to ensure the rivet is free to move and will not come into contact with the frame.

 

Step 3. Measure Width

Take two measurements of the width, at the top and the bottom of the window.
If there is any variation always use the shortest width to order your blinds. If the windows are particularly large you can take intermediate measurements to check.

Step 4. Measure Drop

Take three measurements of the window drop.
If there are any variations, then always use the longest measurement.
You must measure accurately and to the nearest millimetre to ensure a good fit.
How to Install
How to Install

When you first inspect your new blind please remember that as per the measuring instructions we will deduct 4mm from the width of the blind. This is to allow for free movement of the blind and is essential to the blinds operation. The side channels will compensate for the 4mm deduction.

Step 1 - Fit the brackets.

Fitting your Prestige blind couldn’t be easier...
Place the metal L-shaped bracket flat against the glass, push it towards the window frame ensuring it slides freely under the gasket, and do this for each corner.
Top Tip - A little dab of washing-up liquid can sometimes assist with this. Just be careful to make sure you clean any excess so not to mark the blinds.

Step 2 - Apply Side Profiles.

Position the strip so that the cutouts go either side of the brackets. Ensure it is positioned on the glass and tight up against the gasket (but not on the gasket). If this is not tight up against the gasket, it won’t impede the operation of the blind, but you may see the light bleeding around the edge of the window.

Please note: This strip should be fixed to the glass only once, and it is not designed to be removed and refitted multiple times. Therefore we recommend positioning the adhesive strip to the lugs prior to taking the backing tape off. Replacement strips can be purchased if required.

Step 3 - Install the Blind.

Align the head rail so that the brackets meet the slots on the back of the plastic end caps on the head rail. Push the head rail into place, ensuring it is securely attached to the brackets. Repeat this for the bottom bar. The spring under the bottom bar needs to be in the centre. The cords are intentionally long and should be tucked under the bottom bar. Do not cut them, they can help with tension adjustment if required.

How to operate the blind

Attach the plastic wand by hooking the wand onto the tilt mechanism on the venetian blind. Twist the wand to open and close the slats.

Troubleshooting

Our Prestige blinds function through tension in the cords, and this tension holds the fabric. All blinds come pre-tensioned, and you shouldn’t need to adjust it, but if you find that the fabric/slats aren’t being held in place and are dropping, you will need to adjust the tension.
To do this, locate the spring and cord held in the bottom bar. Use a pen to mark the cord close to the metal clamp with 2 screws. This will indicate how much you have adjusted the tension and allow you to reset it if you go too far.
Undo the screws and either increase or decrease the tension by 1 cm. Tighten the screw and check the blind and repeat as necessary. If the blind becomes too stiff to use, you have over-tensioned and need to release a small amount back.

White, Black & Anthracite Hardware Options

You can choose which colour you want the hardware and components for the blind to come in. As standard, all our Bifold Blinds come with white painted hardware as standard, however we offer a choice of Black or Anthracite (RAL 7016) too, allowing you to pair the blind with your door. There is a small additional cost for Black or Anthracite, but please indicate your choice at the time of ordering above.

Reducing heat and glare building up in a room beyond the abilities of a regular blind is ideal for rooms exposed to a lot of sunlight. Please note that the backs of these fabrics will appear different to the front of the blind due to the solar reflective properties.

This blind is made in the UK in one of DotcomBlinds’ UK factories. By purchasing a blind made right here in the UK you are helping to support the British manufacturing industry. Blinds made in the UK will typically have shorter lead times due to the fact they won’t need to be shipped internationally.

This blind features Venetian slats made from lightweight, coloured metal. Metal Venetian slats will provide a sleek and modern look to your home, and as they’re available in various colours, they can be colour-matched with your existing decor.

This Venetian blind has our 25mm Metal Venetian slats. These slimline slats can provide excellent shading and light control to your windows, and are available in a wide range of colour choices.

No Tapes<

This Venetian blind will not be made with fabric tapes, allowing a minimal amount of light to pass through the holes in each slat where the ladder passes through. By not having tapes on the blind, your blind will have a more minimal and classic appearance.
