Measuring windows for your blinds is EASY!

Just follow the simple instructions below

You will need:

• A tape measure - metal ones work best
• A piece of paper and a pencil

To complete your order we will need:

• The required WIDTH in millimetres of your blind
• The required DROP in millimetres of your blind
• The TYPE of MEASUREMENT you have taken - RECESS or FACE
• (see below for an explanation of these types)

HINTS:

• Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm) and measure to the nearest 1mm.
• Look out for window handles, locks and tiles that reduce the measurements you take. You don't want your blinds to touch or catch on any of these items.

RECESS or FACE?

On ALL orders, you will be asked to specify where the blind is to be fitted.

Recess

This is the measurement required if the blind is to fit within the window recess. We will make your blind to fit the recess. You do not need to make any adjustments to the measurements you take we will automatically take off a deduction.

Face

This is the measurement required if you want your blind to hang outside of the window recess i.e. mounting on the architrave. We will make your blind to the exact measurements you specify on your order.

• Measure the drop of the window in 3 different locations as shown in the diagram on the right. Again make a note the SHORTEST measurement.
• Don't forget to tell us that this is a RECESS measurement!

Taking measurements for an FACE fitting blind:
