How to Measure Window Roller Blinds in Craigieburn?

There are a number of points you need to keep in mind when measuring for novel Roller Blinds in Craigieburn. Below lays a quick guide to aid you. Firstly, make sure you have a pencil, paper and a measuring tape (a metal one should be preferred).

What to measure in?

You should always measure in ‘millimetres’ as most blind suppliers will need a size in millimetres.

Where to measure?

In normal window areas, there are two potential places for blinds to be installed - the ‘window face’, or the ‘window recess’. Roller Blinds in Craigieburn can be easily fitted to the face of your window frame, or into the top of the window recess. By doing this, you will gain complete control over the positioning of the blind.

For a recess measurement:-

Make sure that you have enough depth to mount the inside of the window frame area. Seventy-five (75) millimetres should be fine. Any less than that will result in the blind sticking out of the recess. If you have less than 75 mm it may be worth planning the installation of your blind outside the window recess as a face fit. Points to follow while measuring for Roller Blinds in Craigieburn:

  • Properly measure the width of the recess from wall to the wall at the top. The brackets will be fitted here. Be sure to measure across three areas of the width to make sure that the area is the same width and the walls don’t have bulges which will impact the operation of your blind.
  • Take off 10 mm each side - this will provide you with some flexibility in case of any variants in your walls. It will also ensure that your blind does not get damaged. If you want a total light block out, we suggest you fit the blind to the window face.
