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.
