How To Measure For Electric Blinds
Measuring a window for electric blinds is as simple as 1,2,3. Here you can find all our useful advice for both Recess and Exact options.
Inside Recess (RECESS SIZE) – YIf your blind is to fit within the window recess, you\'ll need this measurement. To begin with, measure the drop and width from three positions and supply the smallest size. Once we have your measurements, our team will make the required deductions to ensure the blind fits seamlessly within the window\'s recess.
Outside Recess (EXACT SIZE) – AFor a blind that will sit outside of the window\'s recess, you\'ll need to provide an exact size measurement. Firstly, decide how much you\'d like the blind to overlap the recess - on both sides, top and bottom - we recommend 7.5cm each as a minimum. Secondly, measure the width and drop in three positions and again, provide the smallest measurement.
