Linked Roller Blinds - the perfect solution for wide windows, sliding or bi-fold doors
Our Linked Layouts give you the option to link 2 blinds, 3 blinds or 4 blinds depending upon your requirements.
These blinds are placed alongside each other across the window up to a maximum width of 12000 mm. Aesthetically pleasing, linking allows you to size the individual blinds to suit the flow of your window or doors.
The Easy-Link system has been designed to allow for individual or multiple blinds to be controlled using a single motor or chain control operation.
It is smooth, quiet and durable and is also available to suit the growing demand for dual or double linked roller blinds, providing blockout and sunscreen blinds on the one convenient bracket design.
The intermediate brackets reduce the gap between blinds from 35 mm to just 19 mm, ideal for greater light control & privacy.
Use our Roller Blind Link Layout chart to decide which layout is right for you.
Available for both single and double roller blind formats - the link layouts are the same.
How to Measure
How to Measure - Inside Mount
Window recess depth
When measuring for inside mount rollers, make sure that you have at least 60 mm clearance inside your window recess.
Please provide iseekblinds with the actual opening size of your window recess
*Do not take any deductions (iseekblinds will do this for you)
Width
Overall width
Measure the hard width across the top inside the window recess. This measurement is for the overall width of your window recess.
*It is important that you take your width measurement from the top of the window as this is where your brackets will be fitted.
Individual Blind widths
Use a grey lead pencil to mark the spot directly over the centre of a natural break in the window, the centre of the doors that butt together or the centre of the overlap between two doors.
Then always working from left to right, measure to this mark. This is where the linking bracket(s) will be positioned.
Write down the size of each individual blind width.
The sum of the individual blind widths should equal the overall width of your window.
Drop
Next measure the hard drop from the inside top of your window to the inside bottom of your window.
Inside Mount - Roll Direction
Front Roll
Generally, Inside mounted roller blinds are Front rolled, which means that the fabric rolls of the front of the roll tube like a waterfall to avoid any knobs, winders or the inner window frame that may obstruct the blind. This will also create a softer, more balanced look.
How to Measure - Outside Mount
Width
Overall width
Measure the width from the outside edge of the architrave to the outside edge of the architrave at the top of the window frame. This measurement is for the overall width of your window.
*It is important that you take your width measurement from the top of the window frame as this is where your brackets will be fitted.
Individual Blind widths
Use a grey lead pencil to mark the spot directly over the centre of a natural break in the window, the centre of the doors that butt together or the centre of the overlap between two doors.
Then always working from left to right, measure to this mark. This is where the linking bracket(s) will be positioned.
Write down the size of each individual blind width.
The sum of the individual blind widths should equal the overall width of your window.
Drop
Next measure the hard drop from the top outside edge of the architrave to the bottom outside edge of the architrave. This measurement may be increased if you want the blind to drop past the bottom of your window frame or to the floor.
*Please note: iseekblinds will not make any deductions for outside mounted blinds
Outside Mount - Roll Direction
Back Roll
Generally, Outside mounted roller blinds are Back rolled to ensure the fabric stays tight to the architrave for maximum privacy and light control.
