Measuring Guide – Roman Blinds
check everything you do, and set aside some time to do it. Happy measuring!
First decide where you want the blind to hang, this can be either inside the recess or outside of the recess. Now check
there are no obstructions inside or outside the window recess where the blind will hang, for example look out for
handles, part tiling, or windows that open inwards. If you need advice email us with photo attached to info@design-jr.com.
Inside Recess Measurement
Make sure the recess is at least 7.5cm deep, otherwise it will not be
able to accommodate the operating mechanism.
Step 1: Measure the width of your recess at three locations. The top,
middle and bottom. Record the smallest measurement.
Step 2: Measure the drop of your recess at three locations. The left,
middle and right. Record the smallest measurement.
We will make necessary deductions to ensure the blind fits neatly within the recess of the window.
If you have a partly tiled window recess in your kitchen or bathroom, in this case, the recess width should be measured between tiles.
Outside Recess Measurement (Exact Size)
Decide how much you want the blind to overlap the window.
Step 1: Measure the outside of your window recess from one side to
another from the point you want. We recommend that overlap
should be at least 7cm from each side, in order to minimise as much
of external light as possible.
Step 2: Measure the outside of your window recess from the top to the bottom, from the height at which you want the cassette system to sit. It should be positioned at least 7cm above the window, down to the point you want the bottom bar to stop.
We will not make any deductions from the measurements provided and will make blind to an exact size.
Warning!
Young children can be strangled by the loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords that operate
this product. To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords and chains out of reach of young
children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck. Move cots and furniture away from
window covering cords. Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
