Installing Your Blinds
Fixscreen exterior blinds are extremely versatile, and can be installed either recessed into a soffit or surface mounted on a window. It’s even possible to install them onto your pergola or outdoor living area to provide cooling and shade.
These blinds are not designed to be freestanding, so it is important to ensure there are suitable fixing grounds for the blinds to attach to. Masonry, steel or wooden pattresses are all suitable substrates, subject to site survey.

Electrical Requirements & Home Automation
Fixscreen blinds are very flexible when it comes to wiring, and can be connected with fused spurs, outdoor plugs or powered by solar if installing power is not possible. The blinds are compatible with both wall switches (hard wiring only) and radio remote controlled motors. They can also be seamlessly connected to a wide range of smart home systems, including Google Assistant, Alexa, SmartThings, HomeKit, Sonos, Philips and Hue.
Wiring In
Recommended where possible. You will need a 13A 230V fused spur located within 300mm of the top of the window reveal for the blinds to be wired into.
Outdoor Plug
Plugging a Fixscreen blind into an existing outdoor rated socket is also possible. This is recommended for blinds fitted to pergolas or outdoor living areas away from the house.
Solar Control
If there is no electricity in the proposed installation area, you can choose solar-powered Fixscreen blinds instead.
NB Solar is only available for blinds up to 16.8m2 in size.
Frames & Fabrics
Fixscreen frames, including the headbox, side channels and components including barrels and hembars, are manufactured from high quality aluminium with a robust powdercoated finish. Aluminium is easily recycled and ideal for withstanding harsh weather conditions due to its resistance to corrosion. Renson offer powdercoating in almost any RAL colour and a range of finishes to ensure a seamless match to your façade.
We use high quality fabrics from well-known European manufacturers including Mermet and Serge Ferrari. Manufactured from tough fibreglass fibres, they are available in several different opennesses as well as full blackouts. Proven to be extremely effective at reflecting heat, our range is designed and tested to withstand harsh environments.
With a huge range available, you are certain to find the right fabric and colour for your needs.
