How To Measure For Venetian Blinds

Important Things to Remember:

• Always use a metal tape measure, a cloth tape measure will not be accurate 
• We require all of your measurements in millimetres. 
• Measure width then drop in this order, try not to get these mixed up 
• Measure every window, there might be slight variations even if they are duplicate windows and this could affect your window furnishings fitting perfectly 
• Do not take your measurements from house plans as they are not accurate 
• If measuring with a partner, make sure the measurements are repeated out loud as they are written down 
• Double, and triple check all details are correct before ordering and remember not to deduct anything off any Recess Fit measurements as our factory will do this to ensure a perfect fit.

Recess (Inside Fit) Venetian Blinds

1. First, determine if you have enough depth to mount the blind (80mm is Sufficient, less will result in the blind protruding out of the recess).
2. Watch out for any obstructions within the recess such as window winders, knobs, handles, etc.
   • Measure the width in mm on the inside of the window frame from left side to right side in three places (Top, Centre, Bottom) and use the smallest of the three measurements.
   • Measure the drop in mm from the top of the inside recess to the base of the inside sill in 3 places – Left, Centre, Right and take the smallest of the three measurements.

Important   DO NOT make any deductions or allowances on your Recess Fit measurements as our factory will do this to ensure a perfect fit.

Recess (Outside Fit) Venetian Blinds

1. Watch out for any obstructions such as a protruding window sill, desk, beds, et cetera when deciding where your blind will drop to.
2. For Face Fit, we will make your blind including brackets to your exact measurements you give us.
   • Measure the width in mm from the outer edge of the architrave to the opposite edge.
   • Measure the drop in mm from the top of the architrave to where you want the blind to finish in 3 places – Left, Centre, Right and take the smallest of the three measurements.
   • For shorter drop windows we recommend that you take the blind a further 30-100mm below the sill (in addition to measurement B).
   • For full length windows we recommend that you measure to 8mm off the floor.
3. If you do not have Architraves (timber frame) around your Window.
   • Measure the width of the opening and add 30-100mm to allow the blind to go past the opening, this will provide better light and privacy control.
   • Measure the drop of the opening from the top to where you want your blind to finish, in 3 places – Left, Centre, Right and take the smallest of the three measurements.
   • For shorter drop windows we recommend that you take the blind 30-100mm below the sill.
   • For full length windows we recommend that you measure to 8mm off the floor. Then add 60mm so that the blind can be mounted above the opening.
