How to Measure

Inside the recess
For when you have a window recess and want the blind to fit neatly inside it. Use a steel tape, never a cloth dressmakers tape. Measure the width of the recess, top, middle and bottom giving us the narrowest width. We will duduct a total of 15mm from the recess size you provide to allow the blind to function. 

Watch out for projections into the space the blind needs, such as tiling features, dado rails, window handles etc.

OR

Outside the recess / Exact finished blind size
Use a steel tape, never a cloth dressmakers tape. Measure the window and decide by how much you wish the blind to overlap at the sides, top and bottom. Enter the size and choose "Exact finished blind size" when ordering. You might find the window ledge obstructs the smooth operation of the blind. Either use a batten to bring the blind away from the wall surface so it misses the ledge, or stop the blinds drop at the ledge, if visually this is going to look satisfactory.

If you have measured in inches please convert them to mm:
