How To Measure For New Window Blinds

Handy Hint: It is important that you use a metal measuring tape as this will provide accurate sizes. 

Blinds are normally fitted inside the window reveals and this will provide the best results as it looks neater. However, this is not always possible so in some applications the blinds can be  out side mount.

Inside mount sizes
If supplying "inside mount sizes" the factory will make the necessary allowances for the blinds to fit neatly inside the rebate.

Finished Sizes
If supplying "Finished Sizes" remember to allow enough overlap on each side and at the top for the blind to provide sufficient cover. The blinds will then be made to your exact finished sizes.

Measuring For Blinds
Measure at the top of the window from the plaster reveal on one side to the plaster reveal on the other side. This size will be known as the "in side mount". Then measure from the top of the plaster (The Head of the window) to the top of the window sill. It is important to do this in about three different places as the sill may be higher up at one end than the other end. Provide the largest (longest) measurement. This size will be known as the "inside height". Necessary allowances to ensure a neat fit will be made by the factory.
IMPORTANT If the Blind is to be fitted in a Window Recess where there is partial tiling in the Window Reveals, e.g. A Kitchen Window then the "Recess Width" measurement should be taken between the tiles. This ensures that when the blind is fitted that it moves up and down freely and does not hit on the top of the tile edge.

Woven Wood blinds provide a unique window covering for any room in the home.

The natural, renewable resource materials used to create woven wood blinds have been carefully selected from audited and sustained sources. These materials are woven together in a variety of combinations to make a blind that allows soft, diffused light to gently filter through.

Please remember that as wood is a natural product each blind will have its own individual characteristics. Every effort is made to ensure that blinds match their corresponding sample an exact match cannot be guarantee
