How to order
Choose the blind system, installation style, finished dimensions, colours and Somfy control option. Check the specification in the summary panel before adding the blind to your basket. Made-to-measure specifications are reviewed by Paragon before release to manufacture.
Measuring & installation guides
Use the relevant guide before measuring or installing the blind.
Somfy motorisation & electrics
Somfy motorisation is included. Choose wired wall-switch control or Somfy io wireless control. These blinds require a suitable 230 V electrical supply; final fixed electrical connection should be completed by a suitably qualified person.
Delivery
Standard UK carriage & handling is £120 inc VAT per standard order / consignment. Where the blind exceeds the standard carriage threshold, the blind price remains visible and specialist carriage is reviewed before checkout.
After ordering
Paragon checks the submitted dimensions, system, headbox, colours and controls before the blind is released to manufacture. We may contact you if anything requires clarification.
