Measuring Glass Bead Depth for horisontal blinds installation

Blinds: Measuring Glass Bead Depth

Follow our guidelines to measure the glass bead depth and choose the right installation type.

Guidelines for Glass Bead Depth

  • Less than 10 mm depth: Installation is possible with standard mounting brackets.
  • 10–20 mm depth: Both blinds with lock housing and those with PC loops can be used.
  • More than 20–25 mm depth: The blind is positioned further under the bead, making it difficult to use anything other than blinds with lock housing, as the controls may not reach the side.

Alternative Solutions

For very narrow beads, external mounting with between-glass brackets may be a solution.
