Our demonstration is using a Renovation 'build on' type Roller Shutter, however it applies to any other type.
Necessary tools:
- 1 Tape measure
- 1 Electric drill
- 1 Phillips screwdriver
Option 1 — The slats to change are still in place
Step 1 : Remove the Roller Shutter box
Unscrew the two screws of the box using a Phillips screwdriver. You can now access inside your Renovation (build on) Roller Shutter. We recommend that you hold the box securely to prevent it from falling and getting damaged.
Step 2: Take the width dimension of the slats
While your roller box is open, you can measure the width of your slats from one side to the other, including the slat end alignment inserts if you have them.
Step 3: Take the height dimension of the current slats
Lower your Roller Shutter completely, ensuring the slats are locked tight together.
Measure from the bottom to the top of your visible slat curtain, excluding the bottom slat - add 200mm to take account of the slats still rolled in the box. Any excess slats can be easily removed if necessary.
Option 2 — The damaged slats have already been removed
Step 1: Take the width of the current slats
Place your damaged slat curtain on a table. Measure the width of your damaged slats from one side to the other, including the slat end inserts if they are present.
Step 2: Take the height dimension of the slats
Your Roller Shutter curtain slats should be locked tight together with no gaps. Measure from the bottom to the top of your damaged slat curtain excluding the bottom slat and adding 200mm to account for what remains rolled up in the box. Any excess slats can be easily removed if necessary.
