Thanks @Russell griffiths thats helpful. What about the screw length though - would 50mm be enough? Yes boarding up over the timber. I see what you mean about starting there and working down.....next time I will know better. I have planed the studs so that an 18mm ply spacer should level the board with the one below - hopefully! -
Similar costs from a few different suppliers. I hadn't found Specialist Blinds so will try them. Thomas Sanderson, Appeal Group, Sona, Grand Design Blinds, are some others. Seemingly all offering similar things at similar price points. The mounting and recessing of the blinds is a key detail. The video of the Sona Blind posted by MR10 above is a very neat solution but not suitable for our arrangement as we have a section of wall above the window before you get to the ceiling. I can see the point about the central mullion but the example in the above video seems to cope well without it. Depends a bit on how close to the window the blinds will be. If they are forward of the window I guess light will bleed around the mullion a bit anyway. -
The sensible approach, but the structure is built and windows are ordered so we are committed to the window shape. We knew what we were signing up to at the time... just hoping that someone had discovered some great alternative....
