How to Measure Instructions

(for fitting your blind outside the window frame)

• Measure the width from the outer edge of the architrave to the opposite edge. Make sure to do this at the top of the window where the blind will be mounted.
• Measure the drop from the top of the architrave to where you want the blind to finish. Repeat this across the window and take the smallest of the three measurements.

• Measure the opening and add at least 50mm to allow the cloth to go past the opening.
• Measure the opening and add at least 50mm to the drop to allow the blind to be mounted above the opening.
  • For shorter drop windows, we recommend that you take the blind 50-100mm below the sill.
  • Watch for an obstructions such as desk or bed.

(for fitting your blind inside the window frame)

• Measure the width from the inside of the window frame from left side to right side. Making sure to measure at the top of the reveal and not the bottom of the window, as this is where the brackets will be mounted.
• Measure the drop from the top of the inside recess to the base of the inside sill. Repeat across the window and take the smallest of the three measurements.

Make sure you have enough depth to mount the blind inside the frame. 50mm’s will be sufficient. Less will result in the blind protruding out of the recess. Minimum depth required is 30mm.

Do not make any deductions as our factory will do this to ensure a perfect fit

• Measure the width of the glass from left to right.  Add 50-100mm to the width.
• Measure the drop of the glass from top to bottom.  Add a minimum of 100mm to the drop (50mm top and bottom).

IMPORTANT: Please be aware of any protrusions or obstructions (such as a door handle).  You may need to adjust your measurements to cater for these.

(for fitting your blind outside the window frame)

• Measure the width from the outer edge of the architrave to the opposite edge.
• Measure the drop from the top of the architrave to where you want the blind to finish. We recommend 10mm off the floor and 50-100mm below the frame.
• We recommend that you take the track past the architrave each side. This will give more privacy and better light control. The distance you take the track is entirely optional. We highly recommend that you add at least 60-100mm. Make sure that you don't have any obstructions.

• Measure the opening and add at least 90-120mm. This will give more privacy and better light control.
• Measure the opening and add at least 70-100mm to the drop to allow the blind to be mounted above the opening.
  • If the opening is to the floor deduct 10mm from the drop for clearance
  • For shorter drop windows, we recommend that you take the blind 50-100mm below the sill.
  • Watch for an obstructions such as desk or bed.

(inside the window frame)

• Measure the width from the inside of the window frame from left side to right side. Making sure to measure at the top of the reveal and not the bottom of the window, as this is where the track will be mounted.
• Measure the drop from the top of the inside recess to the base of the inside sill. Measure in 3 places Left, Centre and Right and take the smallest of the three measurements.

Depth Required: You will need a depth of 135mm for the blind to fit neatly inside the recess for 127mm slats, and 100mm depth for 89mm slats. Minimum depth required for 127mm slats is 90mm, however your slats will protrude from recess. For the 89mm slats, the minimum depth required is 70mm, however your slats will protrude when open but will not detract from the product.

Important: Do not make any deductions as our factory will do this to ensure a perfect fit.
