Measuring Guide
- How do I measure for blinds?
What You Will Need
- A metal tape measure (don't use dress maker's tape as they can stretch)
- Pen and paper
Handy Hints
We require all measurements in millimetres to the nearest millimetre to ensure the best possible fit.
When measuring your window be sure to take into account the position of handles, air vents and tiles if necessary which may obstruct fitting and function of the blind, this will ensure the location and fitting of the blind is perfect.
All our blinds are simple to fit and can all be face fixed into the wall or window frame, or top fixed into the lintel, giving you complete control over the fixing position. You will also need to note down which side of the blind the controls are to be located.
Remember to always double check you measurements!!
Exact or Recess?
You can choose to have your blind inside the window recess(frame) or hung on the outside(exact), this applies to all blind types:
Exact Explained
This term is used when you want your blind to be fitted on the outside of your window recess, your blind will then be made exactly to these measurements.
Recess Explained
This measurement is used when your blind is to be fitted inside the window recess; you haven't got to make any deductions as we will then make your blind so it fits perfectly into the window.
NOTE:There will be a small gap each side of the blind fabric to allow for the brackets and sidewinder to fit inside the frame.
How to Measure - Exact (outside frame)
Use these step by step Instructions if you want you the blind to hang on the outside of the window recess.
- Step 1 - Start by measuring the exact width you want the blind fabric to cover as shown and note down this measurement (see fig 1).
- Step 2 - Now measure the exact drop of the blind from the top where it is to be fitted and measure the required length you want the blind drop to be then note this measurement down. You now have the two measurements you require to choose any blind type from in our range.
Check that the window sill projection isn't going to obstruct the function of your blind.
NOTE: Your brackets will go beyond this measurement again.
IMPORTANT! Should you wish your blind to fit outside the frame but within a restricted space which will then include the fixtures you must then put inside frame fit.
HELPFUL NOTES: Remember when you give us the exact blind fabric width that you require, the brackets will come out an extra 17 mm on each side of the blind.
How to Measure - Recess (inside frame)
Use these step by step instructions if you want the blind inside the window recess.
- Step 1 - First measure the window recess from wall to wall or width in three places as shown (please measure where the actual blind is to fitted or located). Note down the shortest width measurement this is the measurement we need (see fig 2).
- Step 2 - Then measure the drop of the window recess from the top down to the sill in three places, again note the shortest drop measurement this is the measurement we need. Now you have the two measurements you require you can choose any type blind from our comprehensive range.
- A metal tape measure (don't use dress maker's tape as they can stretch)
- Which way should my blinds roll?
There are two ways your roller blinds may roll - either front roll or back roll.
Front Roll
This is where the fabric rolls off the front of the blind. This is the usual way a blind will roll when it is fitted inside the frame. We recommend this way for nearly all applications - especially if your window has aluminium window joinery.
Back Roll
This is where the blind rolls off the back of the blind. This is the usual way a blind will roll when it is exact or fitted on the outside of the frame. - My window is wider than the maximum width?
This is quite a common problem. Your window will require two blinds. Please contact us or phone us on 0800 763 748 so we can discuss the best options with you.

I appreciated the communication as the blind went through each stage at the factory. The process from ordering to installation was so easy. We will definitely be using Rods and Blinds for other rooms throughout our renovation. Thank you.
Posted on 25th May 2020 by Rebecca from HamiltonAs always a great product and the blinds fit like a glove. One blind damaged through freight carrier but soon resolved. Great team. Looking forward to the new Venetian Blinds.

Extremely pleased with quality, service and speed, perfect and too easy, thank you
Posted on 15th May 2020 by Rosanna from AucklandI ordered and paid for 7 custom fit blinds 2 weeks before the sudden Covid-19 lockdown....I honestly thought I would never see my blinds or money again! However, they arrive the day of lockdown....and the quality is excellent! Amazing value, good quality and excellent service...definitely will use again and highly recommend this company.
Posted on 26th April 2020 by Jo from BlenheimI have made several orders over a number of years now with rods and blinds and I find their products great value for money, very well constructed, and the team provide excellent customer service. Super happy to support businesses providing NZ made products!

A year ago we purchased a dual roller blind set from Rods and Blinds and were so impressed that we recently ordered and installed a further 9 blinds both dual and single. All the blinds (inside frame) were a perfect fit and very easy to instal. We highly recommend this company.
Posted on 1st December 2019 by John from ChristchurchHonest good service, fantastic blinds, the 3 day dispatch was as promised. I ordered Sunday night and had blinds hanging Friday night! They look amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend Rods and Blinds to anyone. They even managed to do a last minute bracket swap for me when I called just before my package sent. I am so impressed. Thanks so much!

The Blind and service is great thank you. I did wonder why the fitting instruction is for an 'inside' blind. When mine is an 'outside' blind. The brackets seemed to fit though.

Posted on 25th June 2019 by Maxine from ChristchurchThe blind fits perfectly! It was delivered yesterday. The only thing is that the courier left it leaning up against the house outside the gate! We were home and heard the truck and went out to check. If we had not been home it could easily have been taken.
Posted on 22nd June 2019 by Margaret from MARTINBOROUGHAlways great service. Never use anyone else. Thanks again.
