How to measure for venetian blinds

1 Measure your width

Measure the exact outside width of your window frame across the top, and write it down. This measurement will be your blind width.

2 Measure your drop

Measure the height of your window frame from the top of the frame down to where you’d like the blind to finish, and write it down. This may be at the bottom of the frame, just above the floor, or to match up with other blinds in your room.

3 Choose your cord side

Make a note of which side you'd like your cord to be on. Think about which side is easiest to reach, obstruction free and where the cord will be least visible.

1 Measure your width

Measure the exact outside width of the window across the top, and write it down.

Then add 50 mm - 100 mm on each side of the window measurement taken. This ensures the venetian blind will provide maximum coverage of the window.

Example: your window width measures 1810 mm. You'll add 100 mm, and then give us 1910 mm.

2 Measure your drop

Measure the height of the window from the top down to where you’d like your blind to finish. This may be at the bottom of the window, just above the floor, or to match up with other blinds in your room.

Then add 50 mm - 100 mm on the top and bottom of the window measurement taken. This ensures the venetian blind will provide maximum coverage of the window.

Example: the drop you'd like measures 1200 mm. You'll add 100 mm, and then write down 1300 mm.

3 Choose your cord side

Make a note of which side you'd like your cord to be on. Think about which side is easiest to reach, obstruction free and where the cord will be least visible.

1 Check your depth

Check that you have a minimum depth of:

- 70 mm for 63 mm Visionwood
- 60 mm for 50 mm Visionwood, Timber and Aluminium
- 30 mm for 25 mm Aluminium
between the glass in your window and the edge of the window frame. This is so there's enough space for your venetian blinds to fit neatly inside your frame.

Make a note of any obstructions and remember these should be minimal. You'll add these notes into your order.

2 Measure your width

Measure the exact inside width of the window frame across the top, and write it down. This measurement will be your blind width. Don’t make any deductions, we’ll do it for you so that you get a perfect fit.

3 Measure your drop

Measure the exact inside height of the window frame from top to bottom, and write it down. When your blind is down, it will sit flush against the bottom of the frame.

4 Choose your cord side

Make a note of which side you'd like your cord to be on. Think about which side is easiest to reach, obstruction free and where the cord will be least visible.
