Venetian Blind Mounting Positions

Mounting Positions

Mounting position refers to where the Venetian blinds are secured to on the window. Venetian blinds can installed into the reveal or on the face of a window. 


Face Fit

Venetian blinds that sit outside the frame are called face fit. This is when the brackets are attached to the outside of the window frame.

  • The best option for windows with obstructions

  • A face-fit Venetian blind will usually provide the highest level of privacy

  • Venetians should be 100mm wider than the opening when face fitting to reduce light bleed

Reveal Fit

Venetian blinds that sit inside the frame are called reveal fit.

  • Less projection into the room

  • Some light gaps will be present

  • Ensure that there is enough depth within the reveal to fit the blind
