MEASUREMENT OF PLEATED BLIND FOR RECTANGULAR WINDOWS 

Assembly to the window wing 

A 

PLEATED BLIND HEIGHT 

PLEATED BLIND WIDTH 

Recommendation: The minimum measured width minus 2 mm from each side = the width of the calculation of the price 

A 

Note: Minimum depth 

of the glazing bar = 25 mm 

Assembly on the front window wall on the window wing 

A 

PLEATED BLIND HEIGHT 

PLEATED BLIND WIDTH 

A 

Recommendation: The excess of the pleated blind on each side is approximately 20 mm (to the expanded hande) 

Note: Take the expanding part of the window 

(e.g. handle) into consideration 

ORDERING DIMENSIONS (DIMENSIONS OF FINISHED PLISSE): 

Width (mm) = width clearance of the hole in the window width 

Height (mm) = height clearance of the hole in the window wing 

13

MEASUREMENT OF PLEATED BLIND FOR UNTYPICAL WINDOWS 

Basic dimensions are the dimensions of the product. 

If H ≠ ½ A, it is necessary 

to supply a template 

A = basic width, design 

B = upper width, it can consist of three various dimensions … i.e. B, B1, B2 

C = left height 

D = right height 

H = basic height, design (perpendicular to base A) 

All these dimensions, if they are, are measured closely at the glass from the left inside edge of the glazing bar to the right inside edge of the 

glazing bar, including the rubber or silicon sealing in three places – upwards, in the middle and downwards. For manufacturing and ordering 

the pleated blind, the minimum measured dimension is stated. The width and height of the pleated blind are produced with a precision 

of millimetres from the width according to the type (see below) with the tolerance ± 1 mm. 

If the shape is reverse and one is able to turn the pleated blind (see below), write the dimensions into the order according to the upper 

figure. The pleated blind is produced in the same manner; the assembly is in the opposite manner. This is reflected in the notes! 

THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED FOR DIMENSIONS OUTSIDE THE STATED LIMITS. 

If the pleated blind is assembled in a manner other than in the case of the glazing bars (i.e. on the face of the wing), it will again be produced 

exactly according to the order form. In all cases the product will be produced exactly according to the order. 

Minimum and maximum manufacturing dimensions – according to individual types. 

ATTENTION! WHEN MEASURING, CHECK THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE GLAZING BAR TO PREVENT ANY PROBLEMS DURING THE ASSEMBLY 

OF THE GUIDING (TIGHTENING OR CORDS).

ASSEMBLY 

Assemble exactly according to this manual to prevent redundant assembly errors and other related problems. 

AIDS FOR ASSEMBLY: 

• tape measure 

• pencil 

• drills 

• accumulator drilling machine 

• magnetic adapter, bits PZ2,PZ1 

• knife, scissors, pliers 

for the fixation of the pleated blind 

hole for tightening units of cords 

screw 3,5 x 16 3,5x9,5 

drill with the diameter Ø 2 mm 2 mm 

INSPECTION: 

• Before assembly we recommend inspecting all the parts after the delivery of the goods to prevent any problems. 

Any defects or comments concerning the assembly or blinds must be notified to the manufacturer. 

ASSEMBLY 

• On the pleated blind in the window wing check that the dimension corresponds according to the width of the window. 

• Screw the clamps or clamp holders to the wing by means of screws; for plastic windows, if possible, only screw into the glazing bar to prevent 

damage of the window wing. 

• Attach the upper profile of the pleated blind into the clamps and spread the pleated blind, check the tightening of cords, ropes or length of 

the cords (according to the type), or modify the tightening force of the springs, lengths of cords. 

• Click the lower profile or screw the tightening units for the cords. 

• For models equipped with a control handle, set the correct angle of the handle (handles) for more comfortable control of the product. 

Notification: The handle can be set at several angles, according to the location and access to the product. This setting is done immediately 

after installation and it is recommended to not change the setting. If this condition is not maintained, there can be damage and devaluation 

to the handle.

If the shape or size of the glazing bar does not allow drilling holes for the tightening pins into the glazing bar 

from upwards, choose the option of drilling the holes for pins into the face of the glazing bar. With this option 

take care not to damage the glass with the drill. It is important to measure the correct depth of the drilling! 

The client must be informed in advance of this form of assembly and consent in writing in the handing over 

protocol. Finally, ensure the full functionality of the blind and the window.
