Accurate measuring is the most important step when buying window blinds
on the net. It is for this reason that it is also the step that causes the most
anxiety. --- RELAX --- if you can read a ruler and you follow the instructions
below - you'll do alright.
Note: Your blinds are made to the specifications you provide. If you make a mistake here there is no refund or return policy to protect you. If the blind is made too large it can be cut down for you for a fee. If the blind is too small we can make you a new blind at a discounted price but the short blind will have to be returned to us first. So accuracy and precision is a must.

INSIDE MOUNT
BLINDS WIDTH
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the window recess in three places (top, middle and bottom). Take the smallest of the three measurements. This is the width of the recess. For your blinds width you must make a deduction of suggested minimum of 10 mm off the recess width to allow for smooth blind operation and/or mounting brackets.*** (You will get a tiny 5 mm gap on each side of the fitted blind) It is reasonable, safe, practical and sometimes looks better to make a greater deduction [14-20mm per blind - 7-10mm each side] for large 50mm wooden or aluminium blinds and for wooden shades. Practical note: the width is always the first size in blinds or shades measurements.
BLIND DROP
Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top recess edge down to the window sill in three places. Take the largest of the three measurements. Practical note: the drop is always the second number in blinds or shades measurement.
IMPORTANT: YOU MAKE DEDUCTIONS FOR INSIDE MOUNT YOURSELF. WE WILL
NOT MAKE ANY DEDUCTIONS ON ANY INSIDE MOUNT BLIND OR SHADE. WE MANUFACTURE TO YOUR EXACT MEASUREMENTS!
Please, make sure
that your window recess is deep enough for inside mounting of the blind type you
are ordering.
*** as the fabric is always narrower than the blind there is no need to make a similar deduction for roller blinds; it is enough to deduct 2-4mm off the width of the recess to make sure that the roller blind fits well into it.

BLINDS WIDTH
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the window frame or how wide you
would like the blind or shade to be. Make sure to measure wide enough as to
cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the
window opening is 1250 mm, it might be helpful to order 1350 mm. This will
provide 50 mm coverage on each side of the window. There is no rule on the width
of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening. Remember:
the width is always the first size in blinds or shades measurement.
BLIND DROP
Measure the height you would like the blind or shade to be by measuring top to
bottom. When measuring the height take into account the required space for the
mounting bracket, a flat surface of a minimum 70mm is required. This will
prevent light leakage at the top as well. We recommend adding to this number a
minimum of 50-70 mm for the bottom to insure maximum light coverage and
to cover the window completely. The overlap at the bottom of the blind is only limited by the floor but please
take into account obstacles such as radiators. Please make a note that some windows have
trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the
trim if this is the case.
IMPORTANT: THE FACTORY WILL MAKE NO DEDUCTIONS ON OUTSIDE MOUNT BLINDS
OR SHADES.
