How to measure
Measuring your windows is not a difficult task. Follow the instructions to ensure a good fit for your blinds. Please measure in centimeters all though inches are exceptable.Before you start to measure you must first decide whether you would like your blind to hang inside or outside the window recess.
1) Measure the width in 3 different positions inside
the window recess from wall to wall. Measure on the left, the middle and the right. The most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
2) Measure the Drop (height) in 3 different positions inside the recess from the top of the recess to the window sill. Once again the most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
3) Enter these measurements into the website as Recess measurments this will mean we know to make an allowance when making your blind, all blinds have around a 1cm allowance on the width and 0.5cm to 1cm on the drop depending on which type of blind. Roller Blinds and Venetian Blinds we do not make an allowance on the drop.
4) When measuring for Vertical Blinds for Recess size, do not make an allowance in the drop measure from the top of where you are fixing the blind to the bottom of your window sill and we will make the allowance at the factory.
1) Measure the width of your window then add at least 12cm to allow for overlap.
2) Measure the drop (height) of your window and add at least 12cm to allow for overlap.
3) On Roller Blinds the exact width entered will be from bracket to bracket in between the brackets you would have your controls, this means your fabric will be 2cm to 3cm less. Ex:- A Roller Blind width of 60cm exact size from bracket to bracket would mean the fabric would be around 57cm to 58cm in width. Please take this into acount when measuring for your blind to go onto a door with a window, bay window or window with a small frame.
4) Remember to enter your sizes as Exact size when ordering for outside recess this will mean the blind will be made to your precise measurements. On Vertical Blinds there will be a slight reduction made on the drop so be sure to allow for your overlap.
