Measuring Instructions

For an accurate measurement please use a metal tape measure and take measurements in centimetres to the nearest 0.1cm.

All our blinds can be fixed into the face of the window frame or wall, or into the top lintel - allowing total control of the depth your blind can be positioned in the depth of your window recess.

Choose whether you want the blinds to hang inside or outside the window recess.

Please check for proximity of adjacent walls, furniture, window handles etc. when measuring for your blinds. 

Inside recess fitting

For blinds to hang inside the window recess:

Measure the width of the inside of the recess (wall to wall) in three places and Subtract one centimeter (1cm ) from the smallest measurement to allow clearance down each side. This gives the blind width 

Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the sill in three places Take the smallest measurement. This gives the blind drop

 

Enter width and drop in the boxes provided within the online shop

This is the exact size of the blind you will receive.

 

Outside recess fitting

For blinds to hang outside the window recess:

Measure the overall width that you want to cover with the blind This gives the blind width. 

Measure the overall drop to include overlaps at top and bottom of the window. Check for any obstruction which might foul the blind in this area This gives the blind drop 

Enter width and drop in the boxes provided within the online shop. This is the exact size of the blind you will receive.
