How to Measure



These measuring instructions apply to all types of window coverings...


  • For accurate measurements always use a metal tape measure


  • Take measurements in millimetres


  • Choose whether or not you want your blind to fit inside the recess of your window or hang outside the recess overlapping the window


  • Always specify the width first, followed by the drop




To hang blinds inside the window recess...


  • Measure the width of the window recess in the three horizontal locations illustrated


  • Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in the three vertical locations illustrated


  • Use the smallest measurement as your final dimensions


  • We will make adjustments to ensure that your products fit perfectly





To hang blinds outside the window recess...


  • Measure the exact area you would like the blind to cover (as shown)


  • To minimse light leakage we recommend that the blind area exceeds the window recess by at leact 60mm all around


  • If you are unsure about any of the above measurin information please contact us...
