Measuring Guide
How to Measure for Blinds Like a Pro
It's something we get asked how to do all the time, so you'll be happy to know our easy-to-follow guide has all the bases covered
Measuring for Recess Fitting
Step 1
Take three measurements across the width of the top, middle and bottom of the recess. The smallest measurement will be your blind width
However, if it's a Roller or Twist&Fit blind, then use the top measurement instead to ensure a perfect fit
Step 2
Take three measurements from the top down, along the left, middle and right of the recess. The smallest measurement will be your blind drop
Pro Tips
If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you'll be best off with an exact fitting. To do this please follow the measuring guide for exact fitting blinds
If you have tiling or picture rails around the bottom of your recess, which is 20mm or less difference to the width across the top, we advise that you provide the measurement across the top for a nice, snug fit! Otherwise, measure the width from the tiled section, as it is usually the narrowest
Measuring for Exact Fitting
Step 1
Measure outside the recess from one side to the other, starting and finishing where you want the edges of your blind.
Step 2
Measure from top to bottom, starting where you want the rail to be and ending where you want the bottom of your blind to be.
Pro Tips
For the best results allow your blind to overlap the edges of the recess by at least 35mm on each side - ensuring that you have enough space to accommodate the suggested overlap.
Please note: exact measurements are not the just the width of the fabric or material alone, but also include headrail fittings and controls for Roller Blinds only.
