Inside Window Recess |
Just read the easy to follow instructions below. Then all you'll need is a steel tape measure. not cloth tape - they stretch. But take care, accurate sizes are essential.
We'll take it from there. In no time at all you'll receive a tailor-made blind to fit your window perfectly.
The first decision to make is, do you want your blind to fit inside or outside the recess? (Note: If the recess is less than 2.5" deep, the window opens inwards or there are other obstructions the blind must be fitted outside the recess.)
If you have taken measurements in inches you can use the calculator below to convert to centimeters.

Outside Window Recess |

|
| Just give the width and height of the recess exactly. We will allow the working tolerances N.B. It is advisable to measure the width at the top as this is where the headrail will be fitted. |
|
Outside Window Recess (Exact) |
Decide how much you wish to overlap the recess at each side (suggested overlap is 64mm (2.5") each side) and at the top and bottom.
Ideally, when raised, the blind should not obscure the window. Therefore blinds must be fixed high enough above top of window recess to allow for depth of head rail and bunched slats. To allow for this add 44mm (1.75") plus 12mm (0.5") for every foot of blind depth. |
