Measuring for Inside Window Recess

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

Steps for Inside Recess Measurement

Take three measurements across the inside of the window recess: one at the top, one in the middle, and one at the bottom. Then take three height measurements: one on the left, one in the centre, and one on the 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 places and use the smallest measurement when placing your order. The factory will make any necessary adjustments for “recess specified” blinds so that they fit perfectly. Take care when measuring near obstacles such as tiles, handles, or rails to ensure the blind is positioned correctly.

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, without any deductions.

Guide for Outside Recess Fitting

Decide the area you want the blind to cover. To prevent sunlight glare, we recommend adding an overlap of 6 cm on each side and 7 cm at the top of the window. Measure the width of this area carefully. Take care around obstacles such as tiles or rails to make sure the blind sits correctly. You can also decide if you want an overlap at the bottom of the window.

All blinds come with the necessary fittings for installation. For inside recess fitting, the blind will sit neatly within the window frame. For outside recess fitting, the blind is fixed on the wall or frame to cover the window fully. Always double-check your measurements before installation and follow the instructions carefully to ensure the blind fits securely and operates correctly.
