How to use this calculator

  • Enter the following values in cms.
    • Finished Blind Length
    • Headrail Allowance*
  • Select a number of Fold Sections (must be an odd number)
  • Press "Enter" to calculate
  • If necessary change the number of Fold Sections and/or headrail allowance and recalculate until you find the best "Top Section length" for your blind.
  • Varying the Headrail allowance will help you get the "Top Section" depth right. (Caution: If you make the headrail allowance too small the blind may not pull up properly * )
  • Note the more fold sections you use the thicker the blind will be when pulled up. (using too many may cause problems, with the blind sticking outwards when pulled up)

* Please see our item Headrail allowance explained for more information on headrail allowances.
