Freesia Slate QuickFit No Drill Roller Blind

This product is a roller blind featuring the convenient QuickFit No Drill bracket system for easy, tool-free installation. The "Freesia Slate" refers to the colour—a deep, charcoal grey—and the potential subtle texture of the fabric. Its key functional property is being Translucent, meaning it is designed to filter and soften natural light while maintaining some outward visibility.

Key Features & Benefits

  1. QuickFit No Drill System:

    • Benefit: The standout feature. Allows for installation inside a window recess without any drilling, screws, or tools. It uses a tension mechanism for a secure fit. Perfect for renters or anyone avoiding DIY hassle.

  2. Translucent Fabric (195gsm):

    • Benefit: Softly diffuses sunlight, reducing glare on TVs and computer screens while protecting furnishings from UV rays. It maintains an open, airy feel in a room and allows you to retain outside views.

    • Privacy: Provides excellent daytime privacy; from the outside, the view is obscured, but from the inside, the view out is maintained. Note: Privacy at night is reduced when interior lights are on.

  3. Slate Colour:

    • Benefit: The "Slate" colour offers a bold, modern, and sophisticated look. As a darker translucent option, it will provide slightly more light reduction and a greater sense of privacy than lighter colours like White or Beige, while still filtering light. It pairs exceptionally well with industrial, modern, and contemporary decor.

  4. 100% Polyester Composition:

    • Benefit: A durable, fade-resistant, and easy-to-clean material. It can be maintained with light dusting or a wipe with a damp cloth.

  5. Wide Size Range:

    • Benefit: The extensive sizing (up to 2800mm wide and 4000mm drop) makes it suitable for a vast array of window sizes.

Ideal Usage & Considerations

  • Perfect For: Rooms where you want to maintain light and a view but prefer a darker, more statement colour. Ideal for:

    • Living rooms and dining rooms with modern decor

    • Home offices (to reduce screen glare)

    • Kitchens and studies

  • Not Suitable For: Rooms requiring total darkness (e.g., bedrooms, home cinemas). For these, you would need a blackout blind.

  • Night-time Privacy: For evening privacy, these should be paired with curtains or a second blackout blind.

  • Measurement: Crucially important. For the No Drill mechanism to work, you must measure your window recess accurately. Follow the website's measuring guide for an "Inside Recess" fit precisely.

Measuring
TOOLS YOU NEED TO MEASURE VERTICAL BLINDS
  • A steel measuring tape
  • A pencil to mark and write your measurements
  • A worksheet to record your findings
  • A ladder (if necessary) for tall windows

 

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU COME UP 
WITH AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT:
  • Do not mix up the height and width measurements when writing them down because interchanging them may result in a blind that doesn’t fit
  • if you are measuring for more than one window, don’t assume they are the same. go round each of them and record their individual measurements. slight variations you may encounter can make a huge difference in how the blinds fit.
    OUTSIDE RECESS



    • Measure the exact size of the area you would like the blind to overlap. to minimize light leakage we recommend that the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm each side.
    • The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.
    • Use a metal tape measure as cloth ones can stretch and bend therefore potentially giving you inaccurate measurements.

     

    INSIDE RECESS

    This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. measure the full width and height of the recess [the size of the hole if you like] and we will make the appropriate deductions to ensure a perfect fit.

    • Measure in 3 places for both the width and the drop, use the smallest measurements.
    • Don’t make any deductions, we will do that for you to ensure your blind fits perfectly.
    • Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.

    please ensure you have the following that come with your vertical blind:
