MEASURING
Use
a steel measuring tape with mm.
Measure all windows, even
if they appear to be the same size.
Decide whether the blinds
will fit inside the window frame (reveal fit) or outside the window frame
(face fit).
FOR REVEAL FIT BLINDS
Blind will fit inside the window frame, make sure you have enough depth
for the blinds. You will need minimum 50mm depth in the window frame to
make a good fit.
WIDTH:
Measure the exact width from left to right of the window frame, in three
places, top, middle, and bottom. Write down the smallest of the three
measurements, this is the width you will order, do
not make any deduction, we will deduct 10mm from the width
of your window.
DROP:
Measure the exact height from the top to bottom inside the window frame,
in three place, left, middle and right. Write down the smallest of the
three measurement, this is the drop you will order, do
not make any deduction, we will deduct 10mm from the drop
of your window measurement.
FOR FACE FIT BLINDS
Blind will fit outside the window frame. If the window opening has architraves surrounding it, the blinds will be fitted to these.
WIDTH:
At the top of the window, measure the exact width from outside edge
of architrave on the left side of the window to outside edge of
architrave on the right side of the window. Make
no deductions. This will be the width of your
blinds. If there is no architrave, choose the amount you wish the
blinds to overlap with the window opening. We suggest a minimum
of 20 mm on both sides.
DROP:
Measure the exact height from top edge of architrave at top of window
down to the sill at the bottom of window. Make no deductions - we
will deduct 10mm from this dimension. If there is no sill, choose
a point below the window opening where you want the blind to end.
