How to Measure

Exact or recess - which window blind will be right for my window?

You can choose to have your window blind made to fit the inside of the recess of your window or it can hang on the outside.

Exact : This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess. We will make your blind exactly to these measurements.
Recess : This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. We will make your blind to fit into the recess perfectly. There's no need for you to make any adjustments.

Two simple steps to a recess measurement

Follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang inside the window recess:

1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall in three places. Note down the shortest measurement - this is the one we'll use.
2. Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places. Note down the shortest measurement.

Important note: You do NOT need to make any adjustments to the width or length of your blind measurements, we will make all the necessary adjustments for you.
