Help with measuring for roller blinds
Before recording your measurements, please follow these simple steps to ensure your powered blind is an exact fit:
1. Use a metal tape measure for accurate measurements.
2. Make sure you have a pen and paper ready to record your measurements in centimeters (see below to
download our measurement templates).
3. Take into account any obstructions such as window handles or tiles, etc.
4. If your recess is partly tiled – measure the top of the recess and again between the tiles, then compare the two measurements. If the difference between them is less than 18mm – use the measurement at the top of the recess. If it is more than 18mm either use the measurement between the tiles, or reduce top of the recess measurement accordingly for a closer fit.
Important note when measuring for your powered roller blind:
We have to allow for the brackets and motor head at either end of the blind, so please be aware that the fabric width is approximately:
3.6cm less than the overall recorded measurement for standard roller blinds
4.4cm less than the overall recorded measurement for cassette roller blinds
Open & Closed Cassette Systems - INSIDE RECESS FIT ONLY
We will deduct 10mm from your width measurement when ordering a cassette system to be fitted inside the
window recess. This is to ensure the cassette profile fits comfortably within the window recess area (there will be
a 5mm gap at either side of the cassette profile when fitted).
Inside Recess FitTake three measurements across the width and |
Outside Recess/Exact FitBefore taking your measurements, you must decide on how much fabric overlap you would like over the window recess. Take this into account when recording your measurements along with the 3.6cm allowance across the width for the brackets and motor head. |
