For recessed blinds, measure the width and height of the recess itself. Do not make any deductions — just enter the raw, unadjusted measurements.

Width

Measure the width of your window recess in three places — top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your width.

Drop

Measure the drop of your window recess in three places — top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your drop.

Depth

Check your recess depth for any obstructions, e.g. window handles. Ensure there is at least 5 cm at the shallowest point in the recess.

For an exact fit, measure the area you would like the blind to cover. We build the blind to the exact size you provide, so allow for a little overlap to reduce light gaps at the edges.

Width

Measure the width you would like the blinds to cover. We recommend adding 5 cm overlap each side (10 cm total).

Drop

Measure the height you would like the blinds to cover. We recommend adding 7 cm overlap at the top and 5 cm at the bottom (12 cm total).
