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
- Always take into account children who may live in your home when choosing the position of your blind controls. Remember a free child safety device is provided with your order to keep cords and chains securely out of the reach of children.
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. Please be aware the actual fabric is approximately 2.8cm less for an exact measurement and 3.3cm less for a recess 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.
