Check that your recess is deep enough to fit the curtains into, also bearing in mind any obstructions such as handles. The depth of the recess needs to be at least 75mm.

If you have tiles part-way up your recess (often the case in kitchens and bathrooms) then the space between them is most likely to be the narrowest point in the recess. Measure between the tiles to ensure your blind will fit. You will need to top-fix or face-fix your brackets in this case.

- Recess Fitting

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. Measure the full width and height of the recess (the size of the hole if you like) and usually the company will make the appropriate deductions to ensure a perfect fit.

1) Measure in 3 places for both the width and the drop, use the smallest measurements.
2) Don't make any deductions, we will do that for you to ensure your blind fits perfectly.
3) Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.

- Exact Fitting

This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit outside the window recess, overlapping on all sides. Measure the size of the recess, then add a little extra on all sides to ensure adequate coverage.

1) Measure the exact size of the area you would like the blind to overlap. To minimize light leakage we recommend that the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm each side.
2) The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but please take into account obstacles such as radiators.
3) Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.
