No Drill Blackout Roller Blind (Chain Operated, Made to Measure)
A made-to-measure blackout roller blind engineered for tool-free installation. Designed to fix securely between surfaces without drilling, making it suitable for finished interiors and locations where wall fixings are not practical.
No Drill Fit
No drilling or tools required for installation.
Zero Mess
Designed for clean fitting in finished spaces.
Multi-Surface
Suitable for tiles, steelwork and other tricky finishes.
Chain Operated
Chain operation only for familiar day-to-day use.
Rated Load
Weight capacity up to 8kg (system rating).
32mm Barrel
32mm system shown in diagram specification.
Expectation setting: This is a blackout blind fabric intended to substantially reduce light. Some light ingress at the sides can occur depending on recess conditions and installation accuracy.
Overview
This no drill roller blind is designed to install without screws or wall damage. The drill-free endpoints provide a secure grip between surfaces, helping the blind stay firmly in place even where walls are not perfectly straight.
The mechanism is chain operated only. Core components are made from reinforced nylon and polypropylene, and the system is rated to a maximum load of 8kg.
Where this fits in our range
Choose this no drill system when installation needs to be fast and non-invasive. For applications that require permanent bracket fixing, select a standard bracket-fixed roller blind system.
Best suited for
- Tile-lined recesses and steel-framed openings.
- Rental properties or refurbishment work where drilling is restricted.
- Projects needing blackout shading with minimal disruption during fitting.
Documentation note
Fabric specifications, care guidance, and any compliance certificates (where applicable to the selected fabric) are available in the specification tab.

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.
Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement
Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.
Double / Triple check your measurements
Choosing your Curtain Track Width
The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.
Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.
Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm
Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width
Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%
* all dependent on thickness of fabric

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess
- Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the smallest size.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
- We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
How to Measure Outside of the Recess
- Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
- Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
- Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
- These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.
- Double check your measurements
- Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm
Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go
Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view
Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,
L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.
Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
