Measuring for Inside Window Recess

If you want to fit your blind inside a window recess, you must measure the full width and height of the recessed area, from wall to wall.

Steps for Inside Recess Measurement

Take three width measurements across the window recess: top, middle, and bottom. Then take three height measurements: left, centre, and right.

Guide for Inside Recess Fitting

Use a steel tape measure to get precise measurements in centimetres, to the nearest millimetre. Measure width and height in three different places and use the smallest measurement when placing your order. The factory will make any necessary adjustments for “recess specified” blinds so they fit perfectly. Take care when measuring around obstacles such as tiles, handles, or rails to make sure the blind is positioned accurately.

Measuring for Outside Window Recess

If you are fitting the blind outside the window recess, the blind will be made exactly to the measurements you provide, with no deductions.

Guide for Outside Recess Fitting

Decide the area you want the blind to cover. To reduce sunlight glare, we suggest an overlap of 6 cm on each side and 7 cm at the top of the window. Measure the width of this area carefully. Be cautious around obstacles like tiles or rails to ensure the blind fits correctly. You may also choose whether to add an overlap at the bottom of the window.

All blinds come with the fittings needed for installation. For inside recess fitting, the blind sits neatly within the window frame. For outside recess fitting, it is mounted on the wall or frame to cover the window fully. Always double-check your measurements before fitting and follow the instructions carefully to make sure the blind works properly and is secure.
