How to measure blinds

Unlike curtains, blinds can be fitted either inside or outside the window recess. The blinds can be fixed to the top of the window recess/ the ceiling or the face of the window recess/ the wall. Recess Fitting - Inside the window recess Measure the width and the length. We advise you make a set of measurements down the side of the window jamb, as sometimes windows recesses are not always square. If the measurements differ, select the shortest. We will make a small deduction of about 1cm from the width you have entered to ensure your blind fits perfectly within the recess. Exact Fitting - Outsi...

How to measure curtains

Before you measure Before taking measurements for your curtain, it is important to make sure your curtain pole or track is installed in the recommended location.  The curtain pole/track should extend at least 15-25cm to either side of the window, and 15cm above the top of the window. We recommend you use a metal tape measure, which will not stretch.   Curtain width To measure the width of your curtain, measure from the end of the tracks or the usable section of the pole between the 'finials' or decorative ends (D)   Curtain length/height/drop We recommend three types of curtain lengths: 1.    ...
