Drop & Width

This page will help explain how to measure your window.

If you want your blind to be fitted OUTSIDE the recess then:

1. Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount - between 5-10cm (2" - 4") whatever you think looks right 
2. Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add some to the drop - usually 15-20cm (6" - 8") 

These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind. 

If you want your blind to be fitted INSIDE the recess then:

1. Measure the exact width of the recess in three places - at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the smallest size 
2. Measure the exact drop of the recess - again in three places - on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size. We will make the blind approx 1.5cm smaller in width than the size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
3. If ordering a blackout blind it is best to add 1-2cm to the drop to allow the blind to sit on the sill and block as much light as possible.
