Easy step-by-step way to
measure your windows.
1. Only use a steel measuring tape.
2. Measurement must be accurate.
3. Always measure the width first and write it down before measuring the drop.
4. Measure the drop and write it down.
5. Now re-check your width and
drop measurements.
Outside Mount or Face Fix
(F.F.) Blind.
The blind hangs outside the window
opening and covers an area larger than the window itself.
Width Measurement.
Without wood frame or architrave. Measure the width you require to cover. Measure 100mm past either side of the window opening for greater privacy.
With wood frame or architrave. Measure
the width you require to cover. Measure 100mm past either side of the window opening
even if the 100mm passes the wood frame
or architrave.
Drop Measurement.
Without wood frame or architrave.
Measure the drop you require to cover. Measure 100mm past top and bottom for greater privacy - or to the top of the sill or to the floor.
With wood frame or architrave. Measure the drop you require. Measure from the top of the architrave to 100mm past the bottom architrave for greater privacy cover or to the bottom of a protruding sill or to the floor.
Measure three-drop measurements. Left side, the middle and the right side and only write down the smallest measurement of the three. This is to ensure that the window is not out of square.
Important.
Only supply exact measurements in millimetres. The factory will make allowances to ensure a proper fit. |
Inside Mount or Recess
(R.) Blind.
Please Note:
Measure depth of recess (R) to ensure that the vertical blind has adequate room to -rotate and draw (bunch), allowing for any door or window handles.
(89MM SLAT ALLOW A CLEAR 70MM
SLATS 127MM, ALLOW A CLEAR 90MM)
The blind hangs inside the window frame and covers the window opening exactly.
Width Measurement.
Measure the exact width and again measure at three points on the window top, middle and bottom portion to ensure that the window is not out of square. But only write down the smallest measurement.
Drop Measurement.
Measure the exact drop measurements at three points on the window. Left side, middle and right side to ensure that the window is not out of square. But only write down the smallest measurement.Vertical Blind Controls
and Bunching.
Bunching.
Check your window or sliding door opening before making your selection.
If it opens from left to right—select the vertical blinds to bunch to the right side. This is called a right bunch (R.B.)
If it opens right to left– select the verticals to bunch to the left side. This is called a left bunch (L.B.)
If the window opens from the centre to each end. This is called a centre opening (C.O.)
Controls.
It is recommended to choose the vertical blind control the same as the side the louver slats bunch—left hand controls (L.C.) right hand controls (R.C.) With centre opening choose left or right.
Vertical blinds also available in mono control SAFETRAK right bunch (R.B.) or left bunch
(L.B.) only.
