How to Measure your Blinds

How to measure Inside (Recess) blinds:
- Ensure that the recess your blinds is going into is not obstructed in any way so the blind can hang freely when fully extended. Look out for protruding window handles and tiles!
- Verify you have 35mm inside top wall recess available for the blind head rail to be mounted onto – refer to illustration to the left.
- Measure at various places (J,K,L) as illustrated and input the shortest width dimension.
- Measure at various places (G,H,I) as illustrated and input the longest drop dimension.
- Verify you have 35mm inside top wall recess available for blind head rail to be mounted onto. ( Z )
Note: We will make your blind to fit into the recess perfectly. Do not make any deductions to the measurements as our factory will make the allowances required for recessed blinds.
- We recommend using a metric metal tape measure and take the exact measurements to the millimetre.
- Always double check your measurements.

How to measure Outside (Facefix) blinds:

- Carefully measure the width of D, E and F (see the diagram) and the drop from A, B and C.

Types of Blinds
Blinds come in two different kinds, which will suit different needs. Do you want the blind to fit inside the window (Recess) or outside (Facefix)?

Outside (Facefix) blinds are easier to install, ideal if you want to hide features around the window and does not require exact measuring.

Inside (Recess) blinds provides a neat appearance, but requires exact measuring and a top recess large enough to accommodate the size of the head rail.
