MEASURING YOUR WINDOWS
You will require: Metal Tape Measure Pen Blinds-Australia.com.au Measuring Worksheet/Guide Measuring Worksheet Guide - Ready Made Blinds.pdf or Measuring Worksheet Guide - Custom Made Blinds.pdf Please follow the guidelines below carefully before measuring: Always use a metal tape measure for accuracy. Decide if your blinds will be fitted inside or outside the window frame. The position of handles, bars or tiles and the depth of a window can affect the fit of a blind. Take these into account when determining the fit. When measuring round off to the nearest millimetre (mm). Always indicate the WIDTH measurement first, then the DROP last (W x D). Please check ALL measurements. Accurate measurements are important for an exact fit. Blinds-Australia.com.au cannot be accountable for inaccurate measurements.

REVEAL - Inside FitBlind to be fitted on the inside of the window frame

If you have no architraves - to minimize light gaps and obtain maximum privacy, add 100mm on each side of the window frame.
WindowsBlinds can be fitted either within the window frame (reveal fit) or on the outside of the window frame (face fit). When considering the best fit take into account any obstructions such as window handles, bars, tiles and the depth of the window sill.Sliding Patio DoorsBlinds can be fitted either within the door frame (reveal fit) or on the outside of the door frame (face fit). When considering the best fit take into account any obstructions such as door handles and bars and also the depth of the door frame.It is highly recommended that two blinds be fitted into a sliding patio door for greater versatility as well as ease of use. When applying online for a quote or to purchase a blind you will be asked to choose the most suitable application for your sliding patio door. There are two applications (reveal and face fit) specifically for sliding patio doors.

How to measure the widths of each blind needed for the Bay Window.

1. Where the Left section of the window meets the Center section: From the Left window Section, Measure out the distance of the depth for the blind type you are using. At this point make a small mark on your ceiling demonstrated by the red line on figure 1.
2. Where the Center section of the window meets the Left section: From the Center window Section, Measure out the distance of the depth for the blind type you are using. At this point make a small mark on your ceiling demonstrated by the red line on figure 1.
3. At the point where these two marks meet is the point where the blinds will butt up against each other. This point will be point A.
4. Where the Right section of the window meets the Center section: From the Right window Section, Measure out the distance of the depth for the blind type you are using. At this point make a small mark on your ceiling demonstrated by the red line on figure 1.
5. Where the Center section of the window meets the Right section: From the Center window Section, Measure out the distance of the depth for the blind type you are using. At this point make a small mark on your ceiling demonstrated by the red line on figure 1.
6. At the point where these two marks meet is the point where the blinds will butt up against each other. This point will be point B.
7. Now Measure the distance from point A to point B. From this distance and that is the width of your Center blind (Shown in Light Blue in Figure 1).
8. Measure from the left side of the left wall to point A. From this distance and that is the width of your Left blind (Shown in Light Blue in Figure 1).
9. Measure from the right side of the right wall to point B. From this distance and that is the width of your Right blind (Shown in Light Blue in Figure 1).
10. Order as Outside Mount (so no deductions are taken by the Factory)

Measuring into a Corner
When measuring into a corner it is important to measure the width hard into the corner for both blinds. One blind will then become the “Through” blind and the other the “Butt” blind. Be sure to indicate which blind is the “Through” blind NAM and which is the “Butt” blind NAM and the necessary deductions will be made at our office. It is suggested that controls are not placed in the corner of the window.
