Re: Vertical blind for sliding doors 34Nov 29, 2012 10:02 pm Casa, wondering if you've done your blinds?? And if yes, what did you get? Did you go for Luxaflex? I still haven't done it!!! I got a few people to see, but they all tell me they ONLY do the 89mm or 127mm and their overlap is only 10mm. Since I can't really have 127 slats (because they would be interfering too much with my sheers), I must then have 89 (: ... but not only the slats are so narrow, they overlap by a mere 10mm, so it makes me worry about the numerous light gaps and will it ever properly block out for night privacy?!?!?!

Will the 100mm blind "interfere" with any sheers you might put at the front? And how much depth of the reveal do you actually have once you substract the handles and any protruding bits??

I'm just putting up vertical blinds, so need to worry about sheers, whatever they are. From what I gather the blinds when open have a 5 mm clearance to the back, so stick out 20 mm in the front when fully open. when closed, everything certainly is behind the plane of the wall. I hope I've understood your question correctly.

Our reveals are deeper than that! about 11.5 cm. But I'm having sheers (light curtains ) in front of some windows, so wasn't sure how much they would interfere with the blinds, although, when fully open, the 100mm blinds would stick out only about 7mm or less ... but 89mm would not stick out at all, they would be at the plane of plaster, inside the architrave. So I guess I could still fit even the 100mm blinds ...
