Accurate measurements are crucial for ensuring that your new blinds fit perfectly and function smoothly. Follow this step-by-step guide to measure your doors and windows accurately.
Tools You’ll Need
- Steel tape measure
- Pen and paper or a digital device to record measurements
- Ladder (if necessary)
- Assistant (optional but helpful)
Inside Recess
Width Measurement
- Measure the width of the window at the top, middle, and bottom.
- Record the smallest measurement to ensure the blinds fit within the window frame without obstruction.
Height Measurement
- Measure the height of the window at the left, middle, and right.
- Record the largest measurement to ensure full coverage of the window height.
Outside Recess
Width Measurement
- Measure the width of the area you want the blinds to cover.
- Add 5-7 cms on each side to ensure proper coverage and light control.
Height Measurement
- Measure the height from the top of the mounting area to the desired endpoint (usually 5-7 cms below the window sill or floor).
- Add 5-7 cms to the top for mounting brackets.
Tips for Accurate Measurements
- Always use a steel tape measure for the most accurate results.
- Double-check your measurements to avoid mistakes.
- Record your measurements in width x height format (e.g., 100 cm x 150 cm).
- For inside mounts, measure the exact window opening. For outside mounts, measure the area you want to cover.
