Roller Blind Measuring
How to measure for Roller blinds
We advise using a metal tape measure for accuracy. Measurements should be in cm to the nearest 1/2 cm. Please double-check your measurements.
 |
Note there is a gap of about 1.5cm from the edge of the fabric to the ends of the roller mechanism. If in any doubt about what to do, please call us for advice. |
The three scenarios for measuring roller blinds are:
|
1. Inside Recess
Make sure that the recess is at least 6cm deep.
Otherwise the blind will protrude beyond the recess.
1. You need to measure width A-B. We need this measurement in full; do not reduce it.There will be a gap of about 1.5cm between the fabric and the recess wall which will allow some light through, even with a blackout lining.
2. Measure drop C-D
3. Note which side you would like the chain – right or left
|
 |
2. Outside Recess
Decide on the amount of fabric to overlap the top and sides of the window recess. We recommend at least 5cm for the top and 6.5cm for the sides to minimise light leakage when using a blackout lining.
1. Measure the width A-B
2. Measure the drop C-D
3. Note which side you would like the chain – right or left

Outside edge of architrave
Inside edge of architrave

3. Fixed to Window Architrave (Frame)
First, decide whether you want your roller blind to hang on the outside or inside of the window architrave.
1. Measure the width A-B
2. Measure the drop C-D
3. Decide which side you would like the chain – right or left
