Measuring for Blinds

Blinds may be fitted either inside or
outside the window recess. If a blind
is being fitted inside a recess,
please choose 'recess size' when
placing your order and we will make
an adjustment for a perfect fit at the
time of manufacture.

If a blind is being fitted outside a
recess, please choose 'blind size'
when placing your order and the
blind will then be manufactured to
the size quoted. If more than one
blind is being fitted on the window
please order the blind size required
for each blind.

When deciding whether to fit the blind
inside or outside the recess consider
the following points. It will be necessary
to fit the blind outside the recess if:

* The recess is less than 75mm (3")
  deep.
* The window opens inwards.
* The window is not straight (width or
   height varies by more than 20mm (3/4").

Measuring Blinds to fit inside a Recess

* Measure the width and the drop in 3
  positions, noting any protrusions
  such as dado rails and tiles.
* Make a note of the smallest width
  and drop measurement in mm.
* Please choose �recess size� when 
  placing your order and we will make
  the necessary adjustments to allow
  the blind to fit the recess.

* Allow the blind to extend
  approximately 50-100mm above
  and below the window and 50-100mm
  either side.
* Make a note of the required width
  and drop in mm.
* Please quote �blind size� when
  placing your order. This is the size
   we will make the blind.

When measuring for blinds please use
a metal tape measure as cloth or
plastic tape measures may stretch.
Always quote sizes in millimetres.
