Recess Fit vs Face Fit Roller Blinds: What’s the Difference?

Recess fit

A recess-fitted roller blind is mounted inside the window opening. It creates a tidy integrated appearance when there is enough depth for the brackets, tube and fabric.

Face fit

A face-fitted blind is mounted over the opening, commonly to the wall or architrave. This can provide greater overlap around the window and may improve privacy and light coverage where the structure allows it.

What affects the decision?

• available recess depth
• window handles and obstructions
• desired privacy and light coverage
• architraves and wall structure
• blind size and hardware

For commercial projects

Consistent mounting positions across multiple windows help achieve a cleaner project finish. See Commercial Roller Blinds Australia or Roller Blinds Perth for local service.
