Häufig gestellte Fragen
Do I measure inside or outside the frame?
Inside-mount blinds need the exact opening width and height. Outside-mount should exceed the opening by 5–10 cm each side.
Why include install markup?
Retailers often quote fabric price only. Add 10–30% for mounting hardware, rails and labour.
How do I account for chain-control vs. motorised?
Motorised kits add a fixed fee (€50–200). Treat it as an extra term if needed.
