- 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.
Single Pleat
A single pleat is a clean, modern curtain style where the fabric is gathered
into a single fold at regular intervals. This creates a neat, understated look
with the fabric evenly distributed across the curtain.
- Clean, modern look
- Creates less fullness
- Suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics
- Hangs neatly with a clean finish
Double Pleat
A double pleat uses two folds at each curtain hook, giving the curtain more
fullness and a richer, more luxurious look than a single pleat.
- Fuller, more luxurious look
- Creates a beautiful, even drape
- Suitable for almost all curtain fabrics
- A popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms
Wave
Wave curtains use a specially designed track and gliders to create smooth,
even waves in the fabric. The waves run evenly across the full width of the
curtain, creating a clean and contemporary look.
- Modern and elegant look
- Smooth, even waves
- Ideal for large windows
- Looks stylish both open and closed
Please note: Wave curtains require a special wave track
to create their distinctive, even folds.

Below you will find the system height, so that you can take this into account when ordering. Are you mounting your product inside the window recess and do you have a window that opens inwards? Please check whether there is enough space for the system.
