Product Description
Product Description

The Prestige Slate Venetian Conservatory Blind boasts quick and easy installation coupled with stylish good looks whilst maintaining a robust and well-supported shading system. This coloured Slate 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 Slate Venetian Conservatory Blind the cord ladders are Flint.

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

Conservatories and bifold doors let in lots of light. This means it won’t be long before you start to feel as though you’re living in a greenhouse (or goldfish bowl). Here is a very simple and effective way to shade your windows from sunlight and curious eyes - the bracket-less way!

When you look at the window, you’ll see a rubber seal that runs all the way around the glass. This is called a gasket. Take a credit card and push the card’s corner into the gasket to check that you are able to get the blind’s tab under it. 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.

When you look at the window, you’ll see a rubber seal that runs all the way around the glass. You will need to measure the visible glass: the width from the inside part of the window where the gasket ends on one side to where the gasket ends on the other – so just measure the visible glass area.

Our pleated blinds are held up by their own tension and therefore require relatively strong and rigid rubber gaskets to hold them in place. If your gaskets are quite soft and pliable (or if it’s a bit squishy), then there is a chance the pleated blind won’t be properly supported and can drop. If this is the case for your gasket or you’re not sure, get in touch with our helpful team who can discuss the options available.

Now repeat the method on the length of the window, again measuring the visible glass up to the rubber gasket. Enter in your measurements above in the Width and Drop boxes. Sounds too easy to be true? Watch our video below and you'll see they really are easy-peasy window squeegee!

 

How to Install
How to Install

Step 1 - Fit the brackets.

Fitting the Prestige Conservatory Blinds couldn’t be easier. Place the bracket end tabs flat against the glass, push it towards the window frame, and do this for each corner. Push the bracket as far as possible into the rubber gasket.

Step 2 - Apply Side Profiles.

Take the self-adhesive strip and arrange the strip so that the cutouts go either side of the brackets. Ensure it is presented to the glass and tight up against 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 presenting the adhesive strip to the lugs prior to taking the backing tapes off. We will not be able to send you a new side strip if you damage the strip or glue, so please take your time fitting these side strips.

Step 3 - Install the Blind.

Push the headrail 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 Conservatory blinds function through tension in the cords, and this tension is what holds the fabric in place up and down the window. All blinds come pre-tensioned and you shouldn’t need to adjust it, but if you find that the fabric isn’t holding its place and is dropping, you will need to adjust the tension.
To do this, Use a pen to mark the cord being held by the screw. This will give you a visible indication of how much you have adjusted the tension and allow you to reset it if you go too far.
Undo the screw and either increase or decrease the tension by 1 cm. Tighten the screw and check the blind and repeat as necessary.

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 Conservatory Blinds come with white painted hardware as standard, however, we offer a choice of Black or Anthracite (RAL 7016), allowing you to pair the blind with your door. There is a small additional cost for Black or Anthracite hardware, but please indicate your choice at the time of ordering above.

Right-Size Guarantee

Sometimes you just need some peace of mind when you come to place an order for your blinds. With DotcomBlind’s Right-Size Guarantee you can have just that. With our Right-Size Guarantee we will replace one blind or curtain with the correct size if you get the measurements wrong when you order. Please note, the Right Size Guarantee excludes Cassette Blinds.

Why do I need this Insurance?

We can’t accept returns or provide refunds for blinds that are mis-measured because all of our blinds are made to measure and so the onus is on the customer to get the measurements right for their blinds.

With our Right-Size Guarantee we will take that one blind back, remake it to the correct size for you and send it back, saving you from having to buy a totally new blind! The Right Size Guarantee covers all made-to-measure blinds and curtains except our Cassette Blinds.

This blind features a “Wipe Clean” fabric, which is super easy to clean and perfect for busy households; simply wipe over with a dry cloth to remove dust and any debris or use a damp cloth to remove stains. Ideal for homes with kids or areas close to food preparation (including use around the kitchen sink).

This blind features a solar-reflective material. This means the blind has a special backing that bounces back the sun’s rays. 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 uses a pull tab operation for simple hand control. To open and close the blind, simply grab the pull tab and move the blind up or down the window.

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.
