1) EXTERNAL FACE FIX

In this instance, the curtain is secured across and in front of the opening, as depicted in the image.

To ensure a proper fit, it is essential to have adequate height above the opening to accommodate the box (C in the measuring plan), as well as enough space to the left and right of the opening for the guides (A and B in the measuring plan). The dimensions of the box and guides will vary depending on the size of the shutter, and our team will calculate those values for you. 

If sufficient space is available, the measurements required from you include points D and E in the measuring plan, which will give us the opening size. Additionally, if there are concerns about fitting the guides and box, we will need measurements for points A, B, and C in the measuring plan. Please provide all measurements in millimeters if possible.

2) REVEAL FIX

In this scenario, the curtain is affixed across and inside the opening, as evident from the image. It’s essential to consider that when installing a shutter, some of the structural opening will be lost due to the space taken up by the guides and box. The dimensions of the box and guides are determined by the size of the shutter, and our team will handle these calculations for you.

Assuming there is sufficient space, we will require measurements for points D and E in the measuring plan to determine the opening size. Kindly provide all measurements in millimeters if possible.

In this particular case, the curtain is affixed across and positioned behind the opening, as demonstrated in the picture on the right.

To ensure a proper fit, it’s important to ensure adequate height above the opening to accommodate the box (C in the measuring plan), as well as sufficient space to the left and right of the opening for the guides (A and B in the measuring plan). The size of the box and guides will be determined based on the dimensions of the shutter, and our team will assist in calculating these values. For more specific information on these sizes, please access the relevant CAD drawing provided with each product.

Assuming there is ample space available, we will require measurements for points D and E in the measuring plan, providing us with the opening size. Additionally, if there are any concerns about fitting the guides and box, please provide measurements for points A, B, and C in the measuring plan. All measurements should be provided in millimeters if possible.
