How To Measure for Roller Blinds
Easy step-by-step way to measure your windows.

- Measurement must be accurate.
- Always measure the width first and write it down before measuring the drop.
- Measure the drop and write it down.
- Now re-check your width and drop measurements.
Outside Mount or Face Fix (F.F.) Blind
The blind hangs outside the window opening and covers an area larger than the window itself.
Width Measurement
Without wood frame or architrave. Measure the width you require to cover. Measure 50mm past either side of the window opening for greater privacy.
With wood frame or architrave. Measure the width you require to cover. Measure from the outside edge of the wood frame or architrave across the window opening to the outer edge of the wood frame or architrave.
