Measuring your Blinds
Window Blinds
Window blinds essentially fall into two categories when it comes to measuring and fitting, those fitted inside-recess and those fitted outside-recess. Inside-recess is where either side of the blind is constrained, normally by a wall forming part of the window frame. Outside-recess blinds do not have a width constraint and if you are overlapping an opening, we recommend an overlap of 10cm either side - though this is for you to decide.
Measuring
- Determine whether your blinds will be fitted outside or inside recess. see diagrams with arrows included to give an example of where to measure.
- Measure the width and drop of your inside-recess blinds and we will calculate for you the necessary clearances for brackets and fitting.
- Measure the width and drop of your outside-recess blinds, this is the actual size that you would like the blind.
- Make sure you note the units you are measuring in, mm, cm, m, or inches.
Inside-recess Measurements
Inside Recess blinds fit into a predetermined space therefore measurements must be taken accurately. As most recesses are NOT uniform, we recommend that you take three width and three drop measurements and provide us with the smallest of the three.
Outside-recess Measurements
Outside Recess blinds fit outside of a window frame and should be measured as the exact blind size you require. Beware windows that are not square or level.
