How to measure - Venetian blinds

Determine the type of mount Recess or Exact

‘Recess’ Measurements:

This is the measurement you need to specify if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. There is no need for you to make any adjustments as we will make the deductions for the blind to fit the recess perfectly. For recess deductions see Guide to Recess allowances below.

• Measure the width of the window wall to wall (left to right) in 3 separate positions, as shown in the diagram. Note down the smallest measurement inside the recess.
• Measure the drop of the window (head to sill) in 3 separate positions, as shown in the diagram. Again, note down the smallest measurement.

Note: For ‘Recess’ specified measurements we will make the necessary adjustment. see Guide to Recess allowances below.

‘Exact’ Measurements:

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to hang outside the window recess. We will make your blind exactly to these measurements.

• Measure the exact width area where you would like blind to cover. Note down the measurement.
• Measure the exact area you would like the blind to cover from top to bottom as shown in the diagram Note down the measurement.
