Roller Blind Measuring Guide

WHEN MEASURING FOR YOUR BLIND ALWAYS USE A STEEL TAPE MEASURE

STANDARD WINDOW

Several points should be considered before you decide where you want to fit your blind!

• Where will the bracket fit?
• Will the blind be fitted inside or outside the recess?
• Decide what type of blind you will be fitting?
• Does the window open inward i.e. tilt and turn?
• Will you be able to open the window when the blind is fitted?
• Will the window handles, or any other items e.g. telephone sockets, tiles etc obstruct the blind?
• Is the recess square or does it splay? (See diagram below).

Follow the instructions below when measuring. The instructions are designed for easy reading. Please read the appropriate instructions depending on your choice of blind and where you want to fit it.

RECESS SIZE

Measure inside the recess width at the top where the brackets will be fitted, measure the drop in several places. (Keep in mind the fabric will be at least 38mm (1½") smaller than the Recess size) Remember to consider any obstructions.

FABRIC SIZE

If you order your roller blind to be made Fabric size we will cut the fabric to exactly those measurements and add the necessary components.

The difference between Fabric size and Recess size is 38mm / 1½" see diagram below.

OUTSIDE RECESS

If your Roller blind needs to be fitted outside a recess you will need to order your blind larger than the recess, this is to gain as much privacy as possible.

Measure the width of the recess and add 150mm/6" on each side of this measurement so the blind can overlap the window to gain as privacy as possible. Next measure the drop of the recess and add 200mm/8" on this size to overlap the window.
