No deduction applies. - No-drill: available on blockout roller, sheer roller, 25mm aluminium and 25mm Aluwood venetian blinds. It needs at least 40mm reveal depth, has a 2m maximum width, and uses the standard 10mm inside-recess deduction with no additional allowance. - Guarantee: too big means a free trim; too small means a remake at a reduced price; damaged-in-transit claims may receive a free replacement or remake.
