How to measures
Measuring your window blinds
No matter what type of blind you require, measuring your windows is easy with our simple instructions.
What you will need
- Tape measure (metal ones are best)
- Pen and paper
Recess Fit (Inside window frame)
When the blinds are required to fit inside the window recess.
Select this option if you wish to supply the size of the recess into which the blinds will fit. To provide this measurement, select "inside recess" as the measurement option. This will require measurement of the window in 3 places, as shown to the right; please provide us with the smallest measurement.
On all blinds except Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we will deduct a small amount to ensure the blinds clear the sides and bottom of the recess, allowing for correct operation. We will make a deduction of 10mm from the width, 5mm off each side and up to 10mm from the drop. On Roller Blinds and Vision Blinds we only allow approximately 2mm deduction on width measurement as this will lessen the fabric gap.
Roller Blinds Important Information
- The actual fabric width will be APPROXIMATELY 32mm LESS than the width you supplied..
- The GAP at each side is not the same. The gap at the control side is slightly wider than the other side.
- Do NOT order using fabric width.

Face Fit (Outside window frame)
When the blinds are required to hang outside the window recess.
For all types of blinds follow these instructions if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess:
- Measure the exact width of where you'd like your blind to be. We recommend the blind overlaps the window by at least 50mm to a 100mm on each edge depending on the space you have. If you have an architrave we recommend measuring from outside of architrave to outside of architrave. Note the measurement.
- Measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Please note we recommend 50mm to a 100mm above the window opening depending on the space you have. Note the measurement.

- The actual fabric width will be APPROXIMATELY 32mm LESS than the width you supplied..

Handy Hints
- All of our blinds are made to measure. Please follow the instructions carefully. Make sure you take your measurements using a STEEL rule or tape.
- Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm).
- When measuring, always look out for things like window handles or tiles and take their position into account if necessary, to ensure a perfect fit.
- When taking measurements please follow this helpful rule - "measure once, measure twice and measure again to be sure!".
- All of our blinds can be fitted into the face of the window frame or wall, or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the positioning of your blind.

Watch how to install a Cedar Timber Venetian Blind
Depending on if your blind is face fit or recess fit place the brackets in position and with a pencil mark the surface of the wall or window recess for drilling. Brackets should be positioned at each end of the head rail avoiding internal controls. On larger blinds one or more central support brackets are required. Your blind will come with the recommended quantity.
The bracket fixes to the wall with the lever arm at the top facing outwards.
When you are happy that you have correct positions for the brackets pre drill the screw holes and fix brackets securely.
To fit the blind, make sure bracket levers are in open position. Position head box onto the brackets and holding in place twist lever across towards head box to lock the head box to the bracket.
Secure the safety cleat supplied, firmly to the wall at least 1.6m up from the floor to avoid a choking hazard. It is important to keep chains and cords safely away from children your new blind will have a safety warning tag attached please read carefully and do not remove.
