Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit is designed to hold the following types of blinds, pleated, honeycomb, aluminium and 25mm woodern venetians. The blinds are held in a aluminium frame that is attached to any modern flexible gasket type window frame. The system is exclusively useful when fitted to conservatory roofs.
Perfect Fit is a fitting system created to work in conjunction with windows featuring a flexible gasket. The Perfect Fit system allows blinds to be fitted to double and single glazed windows without the need to screw into the framework or surrounding area.
The window is measured within the glazing area. A Perfect Fit frame is manufactured to exactly fit the glazed area and the selected type of window blind is fitted to the frame. Unique securing clips are slide between the gasket and the face of the glass in appropriate areas around the window. The Perfect Fit frame locks onto the securing clips and secures the blind in position. As the Perfect Fit system is fitted to the glazed area rather than the window frame or surrounding plaster work the blind actually functions in the same way as the window does. If the window rotates, pushes out or tilts the Perfect Fit frame and corresponding blind operates as one with the window thereby allowing a unique combination of shade and ventilation options. Perfect Fit can be used in conjunction with blinds to be fitted to normal windows and doors and in addition can be used to fit blinds in skylight, roof, conservatory installations. The Perfect Fit window blind fitting system can be used in conjunction with pleated blinds, cellular blinds, aluminium venetian blinds, wooden venetian blinds and roller blinds.
