Tools You Will Need to Measure Your Windows

• Steel measuring tape
• Pencil for marking and noting measurements
• Worksheet or paper to record your findings
• Ladder, if your windows are tall

Tips for Accurate Measurement

• Be careful not to confuse the height and width measurements, as swapping them may result in a blind that does not fit.
• If measuring multiple windows, do not assume they are all the same size. Measure each window individually, as even small differences can affect the fit.

Outside Recess Measurement

• Measure the area you want the blind to cover. To reduce gaps for light, it is recommended that the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm on each side.
• The bottom overlap is optional, but take note of obstacles like radiators before deciding.
• Always use a metal tape measure, as fabric tapes may stretch or bend, giving inaccurate measurements.

Inside Recess Measurement

• Use this method if you want the blind to fit inside the window recess. Measure the full width and height of the recess, which is the full size of the opening. We will make the necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
• Measure in three places for both the width and the drop, and use the smallest measurement for accuracy.
• Do not make any deductions yourself, as we will adjust the size to fit perfectly.
• Use a metal tape measure for precise readings.

Additional Tools You Will Need

Face Fix Installation

• Position the brackets approximately 5cm from each end where the headrail will be placed. If more than two brackets are supplied, space the additional brackets evenly along the blind. Make sure the fixings are suitable for the wall or surface you are using.
• Hook the back of the headrail into the brackets and rotate it into place. Secure the headrail by tightening the short screw at the front of each bracket.

Top Fix Installation

• Measure and mark the positions carefully, allowing space for obstacles like window handles. Place the brackets about 10cm from each end of the headrail to avoid interference with handles. If more than two brackets are supplied, space any additional brackets evenly along the blind. Make sure the fixings are suitable for your wall or ceiling.
• Tilt and hook the headrail into the brackets, then rotate it until it clicks into position. To remove the headrail, press the bracket at the designated point.
