How to measure
Measuring your windows is not a difficult task. Follow the instructions to ensure a good fit for your blinds. Please measure in centimeters all though inches are acceptable.Before you start to measure you must first decide whether you would like your blind to hang inside or outside the window recess.
Inside window recess
1) Measure the width in 3 different positions inside
the window recess from wall to wall. Measure on the left, the middle and the right. The most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
2) Measure the Drop (height) in 3 different positions inside the recess from the top of the recess to the window sill. Once again the most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
3) Enter these measurements into the website as Recess measurments this will mean we know to make an allowance when making your blind, all blinds have around a 1cm allowance on the width and 0.5cm to 1cm on the drop depending on which type of blind. Roller Blinds and Venetian Blinds we do not make an allowance on the drop but please remember you are ordering a full blind not just the fabric and so on a roller blind the fabric will be approximatley 2-3cm smaller to allow it to roll onto the mechanism/barrel at the top .(Please be aware there is a 4mm tollerance allowance on all blinds for cutting)
4) When measuring for Vertical Blinds for Recess size, do not make an allowance in the drop measure from the top of where you are fixing the blind to the bottom of your window sill and we will make the allowance at the factory.(remember you are ordering a whole product not just the fabric louvres)
IF YOU ARE UNSURE PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICES FOR FURTHER ADVICE.
Outside window recess
1) Measure the width of your window then add at least 12cm to allow for overlap.
2) Measure the drop (height) of your window and add at least 12cm to allow for overlap.
3) On Roller Blinds the exact width entered will be from bracket to bracket in between the brackets you would have your controls, this means your fabric will be 2cm to 3cm less. Ex:- A Roller Blind width of 60cm exact size from bracket to bracket would mean the fabric would be around 57cm to 58cm in width. Please take this into acount when measuring for your blind to go onto a door with a window, bay window or window with a small frame.
4) Remember to enter your sizes as Exact size when ordering for outside recess this will mean the blind will be made to your precise measurements. On Vertical Blinds there will be a slight reduction made on the drop so be sure to allow for your overlap.This is the exact size for the whole blind again not just the fabric louvres.
How To Measure For Curtains
Measuring The Width For All Curtain Headings.
When you measure for curtains you measure the exact width of your pole or track with which you are hanging your curtains on, and enter this size into the width box on our website. If you do not have a curtain pole of curtain track fitted you can always measure the width of the recess area and add on 30cm extra on the width measurements.
How To Measure The Drop For Curtain Headings
Measuring The Drop For Pencil And Pinch Pleat Headings
When measuring the drop for a pencil and pinch pleat heading, if you have a curtain pole you measure from the bottom of the ornamental curtain ring to exactly 1cm above the a hard floor surface or 2 to 3cm if you have a carpet fitted. If measuring to hang in front of a window sill measure 4cm below the window sill.
Measuring The Drop For Eyelet Curtain Heading
When measuring the drop for Eyelet Heading you measure the distance from the top of the curtain pole to exactly 1cm above a hard floor suface or 2cm to 3cm if you have carpet fitted. If measuring to hang in front of a window sill, measure 4cm below the window sill.
Notes:
Always measure every window as no two windows are the same size. Blinds and Curtains are custom made to fit each window. Please re check your measurements before ordering your Blinds or Curtains. Any help required measuring for bay windows, conservatorys or just general information please call our customer services on 0844 800 2066 Monday to Friday 9.00am till 5.00pm.
