I think you have to allow 7cms in a right angled corner. For anything greater try marking a couple of UEBs at 7 cms and try that.
Of course this will only work for flush fitting

Has anyone actually done any woodweave in a conservatory?
Do they work? Any gaps?

I did 2 butted together in a 'v' shaped window, I was advised the depth of the blind was 7cm, this was just perfect.  I think they are an interesting alternative to the other styles available and look attractive but would always show the customer that they are not as opaque or private as other types. |

vertical
so definately need sample to show customer the view from side of blind

Fitted 7 along front of conservatory. I think they look cheap and nasty. The blinds don't hang straight, they're not level when raised, and don't even match. I had 3 identical sized blinds with max drop of 200cm. One was shorter than the other 2, but had a longer valance, which stood out a mile.
Look out for 2 things :-
1. Forget the advised stack depth of 27-32cm detailed in the 18/10 memo. I've fitted 18 of these this week with various drops - they all raised to 35cm, blocking off the fanlight windows completely.
2. Cords locks vary in position from the edge of the blind and can be around 35cm in. If fitting above a conservatory door, the cords can hang down in the opening.
Also watch out for the brackets. There are 2 different brackets being supplied, even within a single order. The dark brackets project the blind 5 or 6mm further than the bright brackets. If side by side along a conservatory, you'll get a very uneven effect

Had 15 woodweave to fit today, been dreading it.
1st call, 12 blinds in conservatory. All drops and valances pretty much same length, no cording problems.
12 blinds - 1,3/4 hours - £950 - thank you very much.
2nd call, 3 blinds in porch, again no problems.
3 blinds - 25 mins - £196 - thanks again.
Woodweave dept. you've got the hang of them, well done. I'll now offer these rather than wait to be asked

Hi Guys, just fitted my 1st ww into a conservatory today, overall they look ok, but all the drops came up short by 2/3 cms (definitely not my measuring), all cords & cord locks squeak when raising or lowering blinds, and the cords being 25 cms in from the end disappoints. Additionally the uebs requested were non existant, so numerous spares required, and the gap in the corners was quiet prominent at 4.5 cms. Think I might stick to verts, vents & rolls for cons & leave ww to single windows
