Measuring
Recess Fit Blinds

RECESS FIT – Inside the frame

This is the measurement you need to take if you want to fit the blind inside the window recess.
  • Use Metal Tape measure, take all your measurements in millimetres (mm).
  • Measure in 3 places for both width and drop, please provide us with the smallest measurement.
  • Don’t make any deductions, we will do that for you to make sure that the blinds operate properly.

    When the blinds are required to hang outside the window recess.

    For all types of blinds follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:

  • Measure the exact width of where you’d like your blind to be. We recommend the blind overlaps the window by at least 50mm to a 100mm on each edge depending on the space you have. If you have an architrave we recommend measuring from outside of architrave to outside of architrave. Note the measurement.

  • Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Please note we recommend 50mm to 100mm below the sill depending on the space you have.

  • For full length windows we recommend that you measure to 10 to 15 mm off the floor. This will give enough clearance.
