How to Measure

Blind, Recess or Cloth? You can choose to have your blind made to fit the inside of the recess of your window or it can hang on the outside

Blind

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess. We will make your blind exactly to these measurements.

Recess

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. We will make your blind to fit into the recess perfectly. There's no need for you to make any adjustments.

Cloth - ROLLER BLINDS ONLY

This is the measurement you need to take if you wish to fit your roller blind outside your window recess. Your roller blind will then be made to the exact measurements that you have given us, i.e. if you order a roller blind 1000mm wide, the actual fabric/cloth of your roller blind will measure 1000mm wide. The top fixings of your roller blind, including brackets measure 38mm overall in addition to the width of the blind you order. Please note that all of our roller blinds are manufactured with excess fabric on the drop to ensure that when your blind is fully pulled down there is fabric covering the aluminium roller.

Three simple steps to a recess size measurement
Follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang inside the window recess:
1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall as shown.
2. Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill as shown.
Important note: You do NOT need to make any adjustments to the width or length of your blind measurements, we will make all the necessary adjustments for you.

Three simple steps to a blind size measurement
Follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:
1. Measure the exact width of where you'd like your blind to be. Note down the measurement.
2. Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Note down the measurement.

Important note for measuring Vertical blinds!
Please note for the drop of a Vertical blind please measure down to your window sill, we will deduct 1cm off the drop for both Exact and Recess measurements to ensure your louvres run smoothly along your sill.

Important note for measuring Roller blinds!
For Roller blinds, we have to allow for fittings at either end of the blind, as there is no headrail. This means the actual fabric is approximately 2.8cm less for an exact measurement and 3.3cm less for a recess measurement. You don't need to make this adjustment, we do.

Measuring Louvres only
There is no need to measure your window when replacing your louvres simply measure the length of one of your current louvres (this is the drop), this measurement will always need to be exact. You don't need to worry about the width of your louvres as we only supply standard 89mm and 127mm width louvres
