There are several ways to fit your Fit Roller Blinds. The most common way is to measure the window and cut the blind accordingly. If you want a perfect fit, use a cutting mat or straight edge as an extension of the top of the window. You can also use a pencil and ruler to find the correct width before cutting your Fit Roller Blinds.
If you’re working with a pre-cut blind, simply pull until it goes over the top of the window and then pull down on each end until it’s tight against the wall. This will create tension in the material so that when you take off one side of the roller, it won’t sag when you roll up that side.

How to fit roller blinds with a custom cut
If you want a custom cut, you will need a table saw and one or more dremel tools. First cut one side of the Roller Blinds at a 45 degree angle to the wall. Use a tape measure to keep things accurate. This will make it easier to match the piece to the roller as you roll up the other side.
A straight edge will help you make straight cuts from one corner to another. Continue cutting until both sides are cut from the corner to the center. Pin in place all sides with minimal crease. The crease is what creates the custom fit of the Roller Blinds It’s also where the two pieces meet.
