TO FIT IN A RECESS
To measure for a blind that fits into the recess of your window please follow these simple steps.
- Measuring the width first, please measure in three places.
- Placing the tape measure against the wall and measure across the other side of the wall.
- Do this again with the drop – top to bottom.
- Measure in the same way – 3 measurements from the top of the recess to the bottom of window, three measurements – left – centre – right.
- Again take the shortest measurement and make a note of it.
These are the measurements you will need to submit to us.
Please do not make any adjustments to these measurements, as we will take off the necessary amounts for the blind to fit perfectly
You will require Top Fix Clips for this type of blind
