Blinds can be hung either inside or outside the window recess.
Measuring INSIDE a Recess Fitting
Make sure there aren’t any obstructions such as window handles or tiles that will get in the way of the blind. Measure the length from A to B and the width from C to D. Do this in several places and use the smallest measurements.
Measuring OUTSIDE a Recess Fitting
Decide how much you want the blind to hang outside the recess.
For roman blinds:
We would recommend 15–20 cm above the window as this will allow for most of the blind to be pulled up away from the window thus maximising the light.
For roller blinds:
You need to decide how far above the window you want the blind to hang. You also need about 5cm each side and 5cm at the bottom. Measure from E to F to get the width and then G to H to get the finished length.
Blind Safety
If you have small children and are concerned about the safety of blind cords please speak to one of our advisors before placing your order.
