How to measure your window

Always use a metal rule, measuring the width first and the height second in millimetres or inches. Decide whether you wish to fix the blind on the inside or outside of the window recess.

On inside recess measure width and height in several places and always order the smaller size. We then make small deductions to allow for easy fitting. On outside recess blinds, we recommend a 75mm overlap on each measurement, and order blind size (on a roller blind this will be fabric width). If there is a window ledge measure the blind to stop just above it, or fit the blind on a batten to clear it.

If it would help you, send us a digital image of your window with the sizes marked on.
