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 BLIND

The panel 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. For greater privacy measure 100mm past either side of the window opening. 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. For greater privacy measure 100mm past top and bottom – or to the top of the sill or to the floor. With wood frame or architrave – measure the drop you require to cover. Measure from the top of the architrave to 100mm past the bottom architrave for greater privacy – 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.

INSIDE MOUNT OR RECESS BLIND

The panel blind hangs inside the window frame and covers the window opening exactly.

Width Measurements

Measure the exact width at three points on the window – top, middle and bottom portion to ensure that the window is not out of square. 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. Only write down the smallest measurement.

NOTE: Measure depth of recess to ensure that the panel blind has adequate room to bunch, allowing for any door or window handles.

PANEL 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 panel blinds to bunch to the right side. This is called a right bunch.
• If it opens right to left, select the panel blinds to bunch to the left side. This is called a left bunch.
• Right bunch – wand control on left hand side when blind is in closed position.
• Left bunch – wand control on right hand side when blind is in closed position.
