Measure For Recess

For a recess fitting blind please measure your window recess exactly. We always advise to measure the width and height of the recess in multiple places and quote the minimum values when ordering.

We then make small deductions needed to ensure the blind fits perfectly into the recess.

1. Measure the width of your recess (wall to wall) in 3 different locations. The most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
2. Measure the drop (height) of your recess ( top to window sill) in 3 different locations. Once again the most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
3. Use these exact measurements throughout our website and ensure you select "Recess" as the measurement type

Please Note: if the recess is less than 60mm / 2.5" deep, the window opens inwards or there are other obstructions the blind may have to be fitted outside the recess

Measure Exact

Please use this measurement method for fitting blinds outside the recess or if you are measuring a current blind. We recommend a window recess overlap of at least 80mm on each side. This ensures complete coverage of the window.

We do not make any deductions to the measurements given when using the actual blind size option.

1. Measure the width of your window and any overlap you require. We advice an overlap of at least 6cm on the window recess.
2. Measure the drop (height) of your window and any overlap you require. Once again we advice an overlap of at least 6cm on the window recess.
3. Use these exact measurements throughout our website and ensure you select "Exact" as the measurement type.

Please note: the drop given will be the overall blind drop (from the top of the head rail to the bottom of the slats). Do not provide a slat only size when ordering a complete vertical blind.
