Measuring Guide

Measuring for your new blinds is really straightforward, just see the guide below. We recommend that you use a steel tape measure for accuracy.
Decide the fitting position of the blind, within the recess or outside the recess.

We will make any deductions off the width of the blind to ensure the blind operates perfectly within the window recess.

Recess Fitting 1

Width- Measure the inside width of the window at the top middle and bottom. Use the narrowest width measurement.


Height - Measure the height of the window at the left, centre and right. Use the longest height measurement.

Exact Fitting

Outside the window opening, overlapping the window recess


1Width - To minimize light leakage it's recommended that the blind overlaps the window recess by least 50mm each side.

Height - When measuring the height take into account the required space for the mounting bracket, a flat surface of a minimum 50mm is advisable.
