How to Measure Vertical Blinds – Measurement Guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A key step before you start measuring is whether you would like your blinds inside the window frames (known as recess fit) or outside (known as face fit).

MEASURING THE WIDTH

• Measure the exact width of the architrave.
• Add 50-100mm on both sides

MEASURING THE DROP

• Measure the drop from the top of the architrave to the floor exactly. take the minimum measurement (left middle, right)

FINISH ABOVE THE FLOOR

• We recommend measuring 50-100mm past the sill.(we will make exactly the provided width and drop )

FINISH TO THE FLOOR

• Please make a 10MM deduction on height if you are measureing up to the floor and give us size after deduction.

MEASURING THE DEPTH

• Before selecting recess fit, make sure you have the minimum depths for your blind type.

MEASURING THE WIDTH

• Measure the exact inside width in three different positions - the top, middle & bottom.
• Take the smallest measurement.
• Please make a total 10MM deduction from the width to easy fit.
  

MEASURING THE DROP

• Measure the exact inside recess height from the top to the bottom of the windowsill in three positions - the left, middle, & right.
• Take the smallest measurement.
• Please make a total of 10MM deduction from Drop for easy fit

There is a minimum depth requirement for vertical blinds.

• 135mm of depth for a 127mm slat
• 100mm depth for 89mm slats
• If you do not have enough depth, we advise a face fit.
