Measuring your window blinds
No matter what type of blind you require, measuring your windows is easy with our simple instructions.
What you will need
- Tape measure (metal ones are best)
- Pen and paper
Face Fit or Recess?
- Face Fit
When the blinds are required to hang outside the window recess.
- Recess Fit
When the blinds are required to fit inside the window recess.
How to measure for a Face Fit
For all types of blinds follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:
- Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Note the measurement.
- Measure the exact width of where you'd like your blind to be. Note the measurement.
Note: A deduction of 10mm will automatically occur off the width and the drop during manufacturing. Please state in the comments during the order process if you wish to have exact sizes. |

How to measure for a Recess Fit
Select this option if you wish to supply the size of the recess into which the blinds will fit. To provide this measurement, select "inside recess" as the measurement option. This will require measurement of the window in 3 places, as shown to the left; please provide us with the smallest measurement.
We will deduct a small amount to ensure the blinds clear the sides and bottom of the recess, allowing for correct operation. This is generally up to 1cm on either side and up to 1 or 2cm in length.
Note: When measuring for roller blinds, please note that the actual width of the roller blind fabric will be 39mm less than the measurement provided. |

Handy hints
All of our blinds are made to measure. Please follow the instructions carefully. Make sure you take your measurements using a STEEL rule or tape.
Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm).
When measuring, always look out for things like window handles or tiles and take their position into account if necessary, to ensure a perfect fit.
When taking measurements please follow this helpful rule - "measure once, measure twice and measure again to be sure!"
All of our blinds can be fitted into the face of the window frame or wall, or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the positioning of your blind.
