• Look for obstructions like window handles, locks, phone sockets, picture rails and alarm sensors and ensure you position the blind where they won’t interfere

Inside Recess (Mount In)

This is the measurement type for when you want the blind to fit inside the window recess or opening. It is the most common type and gives a neat finish. You provide us with the exact width and height measurements of the window recess. We will make the necessary calculations to ensure your blind fits the recess.

1. WIDTH

Measure the width of the recess at the top, middle and bottom. Note the narrowest width. This is the WIDTH MEASUREMENT you provide to us.

2. HEIGHT

Measure the height of the recess. This is the HEIGHT MEASUREMENT you provide to us.

3. OPTIONS

Outside Recess (Mount Out)

This is for windows which have little or no recess depth or when the blind needs to be completely clear of the window when raised. You provide us with the exact width and height measurements of where you want the blind to cover. We will make the blind to the exact measurements.

1. WIDTH

Measure the width where you want the blind to be. This is the width measurement you provide to us. Generally, we recommend an overlap of 5cm on both sides of the recess.

2. HEIGHT

Measure the distance from where you want the top of the blind to be to where you want it to finish. This is the height measurement you provide to us.
