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.

Great company to deal with
Posted on 6th July 2018 by Diane from BlenheimAbsolutely wonderful service. We visited your factory and the staff assistance was fantastic. Once home we placed our order and were very surprised when our blinds arrived within a week. The installation instructions were easy to follow and the blinds were perfect for our needs. A big thank you to everyone.
