Measuring Guide

It’s something we get asked how to do all the time, so you’ll be happy to know our easy-to-follow guide has all the bases covered.

How to Measure for Blinds Like a Pro

  • Reach for your metal tape measure – it’s the best tool for the job there is!
  • You only need to know the width and the drop (length) – simple, right?
  •  You’ll want to choose between the 2 types of fitting…

Inside Recess vs Outside Recess

Your windows will most likely be recessed into the walls which means they don’t sit flush. This gives you the choice to mount them inside the recess or outside the recess.

Measuring for Recess Fitting

Below shows the 2 options you have for measuring your blinds. All we need is the width and the height. Simple as that!

If you are unsure or if you have any questions just give us a ring on 0141 336 5566 and we can advise.

Outside Recess

Measure the width of the window you would like your blind to cover, for the best results allow the blind to overlap the edges of the recess by at least 50mm on each side – ensuring that you have enough space to accommodate the suggested overlap.

Decide where you want the bottom of your blind to end and measure the length of the window from the top of the fitting to this point.

Inside Recess

Take the first measurements across the top of the window inside the recess to give the width of the blind, then the second from the top to the bottom of the recess to give the drop of the blind.

Tip: If your window opens inwards or the recess is less than 60mm then you will be better with an outside recess fitting.
