How online supply works

The order process

From opening to finished product

The online process is designed to keep straightforward projects simple while still protecting against unsuitable or incomplete bespoke orders.

Choose the right system

Select the product suited to your opening — for example an external ZIP blind, roller shutter, external venetian blind, roof blind or patio awning.

02

Measure carefully

Follow the measuring instructions for the specific product. Different systems may require different measurement methods, so do not assume the same rule applies to every product.

Measuring guides →
03

Configure your product

Enter the required dimensions and select the available fabric, colour, operation, controls, fixing and other relevant options shown for that product.

04

Review the specification

Before checkout, check the dimensions and every selected option carefully. Bespoke products are manufactured from the specification submitted with the order.

05

Place your order

Complete checkout and payment. Where a configuration requires specialist review, the order can be held for confirmation before release to manufacture.

06

Manufacture & delivery

Once the order specification is accepted for production, the product is manufactured and dispatched using the appropriate delivery method for its size and system.

Who is responsible for what?

Clear responsibilities prevent costly mistakes

Paragon Shading Direct is a supply-only service. The pricing is lower because the customer or their installer takes responsibility for the site measurements and installation.

Your responsibility

You provide the site information

Take and submit accurate measurements.
Check the opening, fixing area and surrounding obstructions.
Select the required product options and finishes.
Check the complete specification before ordering.
Arrange suitable installation and electrical work where required.
Ensure the chosen product is suitable for the intended opening and site conditions.
Paragon responsibility

We manufacture to the submitted order

Provide the online product configuration and available options.
Provide product-specific measuring and installation information where available.
Apply configured technical restrictions and compatibility rules.
Route configurations requiring additional review where applicable.
Manufacture and supply the product to the accepted specification.
Provide support for genuine product or order queries.
!
Always use the measuring instructions for the specific product.

Some systems may require finished product dimensions while others may use opening or recess measurements. The relevant product page and measuring guide will state what information must be entered. Do not make your own deductions unless the instructions specifically tell you to do so.

Choose the right service

Direct online supply or full service?

Both services are provided by Paragon Shading. The difference is how much responsibility you want us to take for the project.
