Thanks!! EDIT Oh BTW, still no news on the blinds front for me My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: 127mm vs. 89mm Verticals 24Aug 02, 2011 8:32 pm Thanks! That's what they suggested to me, but our architrave is the squiggly colonial profile with only about 6mm of flat area and right on the outer edge (so how are they going to screw the blind in, the architrave would crack first I think ), plus I just can't figure how can it hold such weight!

Current issue is where to place the chain controls for pulling. Eg., if my windows opens towards left, obviously the blind would need to bunch towards left as well, but on which side do you put the controls?? If I put it on the left as well, it will always be "covered" by that last blade and I'm thinking that this would soon start going on my nerves as I like easy access But if I put it on the right, it will always be fully visible when the blind is pulled away ... What do you all think? Also, is the metal chain any better (or nicer ) than the plastic white-ish one? What do people have?

I have my blinds open up to the side that has the controls/chains. A couple of them don't though.. Like the laundry one. They are easy to get to and aren't really noticed when open. When closed you can't see them at all. Re: 127mm vs. 89mm Verticals 27Aug 31, 2011 7:46 am Thanks Coop! I tried to look for your laundry in your build thread, but the search is stuffed and it brings up any thread that mentions "laundry" ... But from what I understand, you're saying that the blind in laundry bunches to one side, and the controls are on the opposite side of the reveal? Do you find any issues (or annoyance ) when your controls are on the same side into which the blind bunches? because the ccontrols in that case would always be "behind" that last blade ....

Re: 127mm vs. 89mm Verticals 31Aug 31, 2011 8:37 pm no probs (and now I have a chance to ask for some 'extras' ... maybe you can take large photos ?? and some with that nice metal chain?? aaand ... Nah, that's all! Nothing else! Just that! ) My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... |
