Measuring your blinds
How to Measure for Venetian Blinds
Recess Mount (Mounting on the inside of window)
- Width Measurement: Measure at three different locations (top, center, and bottom) on the inside of the window from left to right. Measure to the closest millimeter. Deduct 7 to 10mm from the narrowest measurement. Round off the result to the closest 5mm and record this measurement as the Width.
- Height Measurement: Measure at three different locations on the inside of the window from the top of the reveal to the window sill. Measure to the closest millimeter. For 25mm Aluminum Venetians, deduct 5mm from the longest height; for 50mm Aluminum or Wooden Venetian blinds, deduct 10mm from the longest height. Round off the result to the closest 5mm and record this measurement as the Height.
Face Fix (Mounting on the outside of the window)
Width – Measure at the top on the inside of window from left to right. Measure to the closest millimetre. We suggest an overlap of 100mm on either side for privacy and light control. Add the overlap measurement to the largest window width measurement and record this measurement as the Width.
2. Height – Measure on the inside of window from top of the reveal to the window sill. Measure to the closest millimetre. We suggest an overlap of 100mm at the top and an additional 100mm at the bottom if required. Add the overlap measurement to the largest window height measurement and record this measurement as the Height.
