How to measure up

Follow these simple instructions to measure up your window for your Roman Blind.

All our blinds can be fitted to the face of your window frame or wall, or into the top of the lintel. This gives you complete control over the positioning of your blind.

You will need

• A tape measure (metal ones are best).
• A pen and paper

Hints

Take all your measurements in centimetres (cm) to the nearest 0.1cm.
Always look out for things like window handles or tiles. You'll need to take their position into account to ensure a perfect fit.
