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
3.9cm less than the overall recorded measurement for cassette roller blinds
Cassette Systems + RECESS FIT
When ordering a cassette system and selecting 'Recess Fit', we will deduct 10mm from your width measurement. 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). The cassette system will be supplied with either top or face fix spring brackets depending on the fit type selected during the order process.
Cassette Systems + EXACT FIT
When ordering a cassette system and selecting 'Exact Fit', we supply the cassette at the exact width measurement you order. When fitting the blind outside the window recess, take into consideration the amount of fabric you would like to overlap the recess edge – we recommend 50mm at each side to help with light filtering at the sides of your window.
