Don't worry! Measuring your window is simple if you
follow our instructions.
Exact or recess?
You can choose to have your blind made to fit the inside of the recess of your window or it can hang on the
outside.
Exact
This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess. We will
make your blind exactly to these measurements.
Recess
This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. We will make
your blind to fit into the recess perfectly. There's no need for you to make any adjustments.
Three simple steps to a recess measurement
Follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang inside the window recess:
1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall in three places as shown. Note down the shortest
measurement - this is the one we’ll use.
2. Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places
as shown. Note down the shortest measurement.
Important note: You do NOT need to make any adjustments to the width or length of your blind
measurements, we will make all the necessary adjustments for you.
Three simple steps to an exact measurement
Follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:
1. Measure the exact width of where you’d like your blind to be. Note down the measurement.
2. Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Note down the
measurement.
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 head rail. This means
the actual fabric is approximately 2.8cm less for an exact measurement and 3.3cm less for a recess
measurement.

What You will Need
1. A tape measure. Metal ones are best
2. A pen and piece of paper
Handy Hints
Take all you measurements in centimetres (cm) to the nearest 0.1cm.
Always look out for things like window handles or tiles. You'll need to
take their position into account to ensure a perfect fit.
All our blinds can be fitted into the face of your window frame or wall,
or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the
positioning of your blind.
