Follow these general guidelines when you are measuring your chosen windows for blinds and then follow the specific instructions for the type of blind you are measuring for which are listed below.
- USE A METAL TAPE MEASURE, NOT A CLOTH TAPE AS THEY WILL STRETCH.
- ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE NEAREST 2mm.
- ALWAYS ROUND DOWN TO THE NEAREST 2mm, DON'T ROUND UP!
- PLAN TO POSITION THE BLIND TO AVOID HANDLES, LOCKS AND ANY OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS.
- ALLOW FOR THE THICKNESS OF ANY TILES WHICH ARE PLANNED IN AN UNDECORATED RECESS.
- ALLOW FOR ANY FLOOR COVERINGS WHICH ARE TO BE FITTED.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT TALKING BLINDS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INNACCURATE MEASUREMENTS SUPPLIED.
VERTICAL BLINDS:
INSIDE RECESS
- Measure the width (Fig. 1) at the top of the recess.
- Measure the drop (Fig. 1) in three seperate places and note the smallest dimension. (operating clearences will be allowed for during manufacture)
- You will require top fix brackets to fix into the top of the recess.
OUTSIDE RECESS
- Decide how much of an overlap you want on each side of the window opening (unless there is any obstructions, we suggest a minimum of 100mm for each side and 75mm top and bottom) see Fig. 2.
- Add these measurements to obtain your overall width and drop. (Fig. 2)
- You will require face fix brackets to fix outside the recess.
