How to measure for your new window blinds : Blinds Bar ®

Measuring for your new blinds is really straightforward, just see the guide below. We recommend that you use a steel tape measure for accuracy. Decide the fitting position of the blind, within the recess [recess] or outside the recess [exact].
Width- Measure the inside width of the window at the top middle and bottom. Use the narrowest width measurement. Height - Measure the height of the window at the left, centre and right. Use the longest height measurement.
We will make any deductions off the width of the blind to ensure the blind operates perfectly within the window recess.
	[Outside the window opening, overlapping the window recess] Width - To minimize light leakage it's recommended that the blind overlaps the window recess by least 50mm each side. Height - When measuring the height take into account the required space for the mounting bracket, a flat surface of a minimum 70mm is advisable.
The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.
