Window Blinds Measuring Guide

How To Measure for Blinds

These measuring instructions apply to all types of blinds.

• For accurate measurements always use a metal tape measure
• Take measurements in millimetres
• Choose whether 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

Blinds hanging inside the window recess

• Measure the width of the window recess in three places as shown below
• Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places, as shown below

For our made to measure roman blinds:

• Take 1cm off the smallest measurement for your Blind Size
• This ensures your blind will fit into the recess perfectly

For all other blinds:

• Use smallest measurement and in the Size Type option select Recess
• We will make the adjustments to ensure your blind fits perfectly
