Blinds Blinds Measuring Guide Exact Size Blind

How to measure for an EXACT SIZE Blind

This is when you want to position your blind outside the window recess or when mounting the blind directly onto a surface where no clearance is required either side of the blind. 

  1. Use a steel tape measure as they are much more reliable than cloth or plastic tapes.
  2. Simply measure the EXACT AREA you would like the blind to cover as shown in the diagram below
  3. From left to right, measure the exact width of the area you want the blind to cover. We recommend you add on at least 6mm either side to ensure you have the area covered correctly with your blinds.
  4. From top to bottom, measure the exact height of the area the blind is to cover.  The height of the control box which houses the mechanism for the blind is approx 60mm high. You must include this measurement in the overall height you order the blind to.
  5. Measure all windows you require blinds for even if they appear to be the same size.

The width and height dimensions specified by you will be the EXACT SIZE of the blind we supply. We will make NO DEDUCTIONS from your sizes.

Blinds are supplied with a front pelmet as standard. If you wish to cover the side ends of the Blind box then select YES to “ Do you require Pelmet returns? “ We will then supply you with mitered pelmet returns / end caps, providing a continuous pelmet to enclose the blind box.
