Nevada Charcoal Panel Blind
A contemporary alternative to Vertical Blinds, Panel Blinds feature wide fabric louvres that glide across the window for seriously stylish light control. With recess fitting and exact fitting available, measuring is easy.
Face Fit
Measuring with an Architrave Window
This is the measurement you'll need to take if you want to fit the blind to your window's architrave. In this case we will make the blind to your specified size with no deductions.
Tips
- Measure the width from the outer edge of the architrave to the opposite edge.
- Measure the drop from the top of the architrave to where you want the blind to finish.
- Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.
If you are measuring to the floor, we recommend deducting 10-20mm yourself so that when your blind is installed, it will hover lightly above the ground.
Measuring for Square Set
This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit outside the window recess, overlapping on all sides. Measure the size of the recess, then add a little extra on all sides to ensure adequate coverage.
- Measure the exact size of the area you would like the blind to overlap. To minimize light leakage we recommend that the blind overlaps the window recess by at least 70mm at the top and 50mm each side.
- The overlap at the bottom of the blind is a matter of personal choice but if you are measuring for a blind that will come down to the floor allow 10-20mm of clearance.
- Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.
Recess Fitting
This is the measurement you need to take if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. Measure the full width and height of the recess (the size of the hole in the wall, if you like) and we will make the appropriate allowances to ensure the blind fits perfectly inside that space.
Measure in 3 places for both the width and the drop, use the smallest measurements.
Don't make any deductions, we will do that for you to ensure your blind fits perfectly.
Use a metal tape measure, cloth ones can stretch and give you inaccurate measurements.
Please also ensure you have a depth clearance of approximately 90mm so your blind can operate freely. Double check for any window winders, door handles or obstructions that may get in the way.
