Measuring for Your Blind

Measuring windows for your blinds is EASY!
Just follow the simple instructions below

You will need :
1	A tape measure - metal ones work best
2	A piece of paper and a pencil
To fulfill your order we will need :
1	The required WIDTH of your blind
2	The required DROP of your blind
3	The TYPE of MEASUREMENT you have taken - RECESS or EXACT (see below for an explanation of these types)

HINTS :
1	Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm) and measure to the nearest 1mm.
2	Look out for window handles, locks and tiles that reduce the measurements you take. You don't want your blinds to touch or catch on any of these items.
3	The blind can be attached to the window frame, the side walls or the lower edge of the lintel above the window. This gives complete control over the positioning of the blind.

RECESS or EXACT?
On ALL orders, you will be asked to specify where the blind is to be fitted.
Recess
	This is the measurement required if the blind is to fit within the window recess. We will make your blind to fit the recess. You do not need to make any adjustments to the measurements you take.
Exact
	This is the measurement required if you want your blind to hang outside of the window recess. We will make your blind to the exact measurements you specify on your order.
