Measuring Instructions Perfect Fit Blinds
Before you begin, ensure there is a 6mm clearance all around the outside of your window beading to allow enough room for the Perfect Fit framework especially to the side of handles and venting that may be present (Fig1).
Also check that the seals of your window frame do
not protrude over the glass more than 6mm and
that they are compressible. You can then take a
bead to bead measurement as in Fig2 & 3.
If your seals are not compressible (solid) and do not
protrude over the glass more than 6mm you can
then take a seal to seal measurement as in Fig2 &
3.
Step 1 - Measure glass size
Measure the width and the drop of your window
size accurately with a metal measuring tape
. We recommend that you measure in
both corners and the middle of your window and
use the smallest size taken (Fig2 & 3).
Step 2 - Measure window depth
Measure the depth of the window (Fig4) using
a depth gauge if available or alternatively a metal tape and credit card held flat across the window frame corner. This gives you the
measurement from the face of the window frame
to the glass (this is normally between 16mm to 24mm)
and
will determine the size of the window fixing
brackets you will need to order and use.
Measurements are taken in the same way for venetian, pleated or roller perfect fit blinds.
