Measuring for blinds with chain pull
Inside mount
Step 1 First, using a metal tape measure, measure across the top of the window, the middle, and the bottom.
Step 2 The narrowest measurement of the three is the measure we call the recess width.
Step 3 Then, do the same for the drop — measuring from the top of the recess down to the bottom of the window sill. This will be the finished size for the height of the blind.
These will be the dimensions when placing the order on our website.
Check that your recess is deep enough to fit the blind into, also bearing in mind any obstructions such as window or handles.
Please note that the fabric width will always be narrower than the recess width, leaving a gap of approximately 2 to 2.5 cm on each side of the blind.
Outside mount
Step 1 Measure across the top, middle and bottom of the window frame. Add around 10 cm to the biggest width dimension to minimize light leakage, this can be more or less according your wishes.
Step 2 Then, do the same for the drop — measuring from the top of the recess down to the bottom of the window. The overlap at the bottom is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.
Leave these dimensions in the comment field when checking out.
If you have a window frame around the window, please take this into account and adjust the width accordingly.
Multiple blinds next to each other
For chain pull blinds placed next to each other, measure from wall to wall and add 0.5 cm per blind. For example, if you measure 200 cm and 2 blinds are to be hung side by side, each blind should be given a width of 100.5 cm.
