Measuring Basics

  • Always try and use a metal tape measure, you will get a more accurate result
  • Have a paper and pen ready to write your measurements straight down
  • Look out for things like window handles or tiles. You’ll need to take their position into account to ensure a perfect fit!
  • Double check you are entering your measurements in mm, cm or inches

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.

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.
