PERFECT MEASUREMENTS FOR PERFECT BLINDS:
OUR HOW-TO GUIDE

Follow our easy step-by-step guides and watch our videos to learn how to measure your standard windows, patio door, angled bay windows, and boxed bay windows. Measuring on your own is straightforward, and takes only 5 minutes!
Use a metal tape measure, as cloth or plastic ones can stretch and give an inaccurate measurement.
All our blinds are crafted with a +/- 5mm tolerance, which is separate to the deduction made for a recess-sized product.

Recess Fitting | Inside Window Recess

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess.

Measure the width and height of the recess in three different positions, and provide us the smallest measurement. 

We will make the appropriate deductions to ensure a perfect fit.

For Roller and Day & Night blinds, simply measure the top width of your recess and provide this measurement when you place your order.

If your recess has tiles part-way up (commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms), the space between the tiles is usually the narrowest part of the recess. Measure the width between the tiles to ensure the blind will fit. 

However, for Roller and Day & Night blinds, measure both at the top of the recess and between the tiles, then compare these measurements. If the difference is less than 25mm, use the top measurement. If it’s more than 25mm, use the measurement between the tiles.

Exact Fitting | Outside Window Recess

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit outside the window recess.

Measure the width and height of the recess, adding some extra on all sides to ensure proper coverage. To minimise light leakage, we recommend the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 7 cm at the top and 5 cm on each side

The bottom overlap is personal choice, but be sure to check for obstacles like radiators. 

We will make the blind to the exact measurements you provide without making any deductions.

Helpful Tip for All Blinds: If you’re replacing an existing blind with one of the same size, just measure the blind (including its fittings) and select the exact fitting option. We’ll produce a new blind that matches those measurements exactly.

Note for Roller and Day & Night Blinds: Please note that this width includes the blind's mechanism, with the fabric being approximately 2.5 cm narrower than the overall width of the blind.
