Exact or recess?  
Your blind can be made to fit the inside of the recess of your window or it can hang on the outside.

Exact. This measurement is required when you want your blind to hang outside the recess. Your blind will be made to these measurements.(please see measuring instructions)

Recess. This measurement is required when you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. We will make the adjustment for you and your blind will be made to fit into the recess. (please see measuring instructions)

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

1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall in three places as shown. Then take the shortest measurement as your width.

2. Measure the drop by measuring from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places as shown. Then take the shortest measurement as your drop.

 Note: When measuring Recess please take note of any obstructions like Tiles, Dado Rails, Skirting boards etc that may alter the actual width of the recess.

measuring for roller blinds

Please be aware that on rollers blinds there is a mechanism at at one end (which controls the blind) which means the fabric is actually 35mm less than the blind size. On recess blinds you just need to provide the recess measurement as normal and we will make the adjustment, On Exact blinds decide how much you want the blind to overlap allowing extra for the mechanism.


control fitting  
You can choose which side you would like to controls fitted, left or right hand 
side of the blind as you would look at it from inside the room.

bunching requirements  
You can also choose which side the bunch should operate from i.e. Left hand
bunch stacks to the left and draw to the right. A split bunch would stack at both
sides and draw to the middle, as you would look at it from inside the room.

Perfect Fit


1. Before you begin, ensure there is a clearance of 6mm all around the outside of your window beading to allow enough room for the Perfect Fit

2. Measure the width and the drop of your glass size accurately with a digital measuring tape. We recommend that you measure in both corners and the middle of your window and use the smallest size taken.
3. Measure the depth of the window using the depth gauge (alternatively place a piece of wood across the frame and measure the distance from the wood to the glass. This gives you the measurement from the face of the window frame to the glass (this is normally 18mm/20mm/24mm) and will determine the size of the window fixing brackets to be used.
