Measure
Measure
Whether you'd like your new window treatments to sit inside or outside the window reveal, we’ve made the process simple with our step-by-step instructions.
Before you get started, you’ll need a tape measure (preferably metal), pen and paper. Please note that all measurements should be taken in millimetres (mm).
Recess Fit: Blind is fitted inside the window reveal.
Face Fit: Blind is fitted outside the window reveal.
Measuring for a Recess Fit
Measure the top width and drop in millimetres without making any deductions.
Minor deductions will be made to ensure the blinds clear the sides and bottom of the recess with ease (approx. 10mm from width, and up to 10mm from the drop).
Minimum Depth Required for Recess Fit
Please refer to the below measurements as an approximate guide to the minimum depth for the bracket.
| Roller Blinds | 30mm - 70mm |
| Double Roller Blinds | 30mm - 1000mm |
| Vision Blinds | 55mm - 85mm |
| Vertical Blinds 127mm | 30mm - 90mm |
| Vertical Blinds 89mm | 30mm - 85mm |
| Vertical Blinds 127mm | 30mm - 90mm |
| Aluminium Venetian Blinds | 20mm - 35mm |
| Roman Blinds | 20mm - 35mm |
| Timber-look Nova Blinds | 30mm - 70mm |
| Cedar Venetian Blinds | 30mm - 70mm |
| Panel Glide Blinds | 30mm - 65mm |
| Vertisheer Blinds | 30mm - 90mm |
Measuring for a Face Fit
We recommend the blind overlaps the window by 50-100mm on each side and above depending on the space you have. If you have architraves, we recommend measuring from architrave edge to architrave edge.
Then, measure the exact drop from the top of where you want your blind to be to the bottom. Please note, measuring 50-100mm above the window opening is recommended.
Handy Hints
- All of our blinds are made to measure, so be sure to triple check all measurements before placing an order.
- To ensure a perfect fit, take window handles or other obstructions into account.

Product Care
Product Care
Using a soft duster or a very gentle vacuum and supporting the fabric with one hand, start in a top corner and work across the width of the vertical blind a slat at a time.
Light regular cleaning
- Using a soft duster or a very gentle vacuum and supporting the fabric with one hand, starting at top corner and work across each panel in small drop sections until you reach the bottom of the fabric repeat across each panel.
- If using a vacuum avoid using any harsh brush attachments and only ever use a very gentle suction, to avoid puckering, creasing or distorting the fabric.
Spot Cleaning
- Always remove any marks on fabric as soon as possible by spot cleaning.
- Using a clean cloth and a mild detergent solution or for more stubborn marks a clothing stain remover pre wash treatment (With such a large selection of fabrics some are more resilient than others so when spot cleaning it is always prudent to adopt caution - we suggest when using for the first time test on an inconspicuous area).
- Holding behind the fabric for support gently dab the front of marked fabric with the cloth and mild detergent solution then allow to air dry after the area has dried remove any residue of solution with clean water and another clean white cloth.
- Never scrub or rub at the fabric as this can cause distortion.
Remember that with proper care and maintenance you are not only retaining the aesthetics of your roller blinds but also contributing to their longevity giving many years of functional beauty to your home.
