Deductions
We will make a 5mm deduction on width and 10mm deduction to drop of the
blinds if you select the ‘Recess’ sizing option to prevent your vanes from dragging on the
windowsill.
Measuring for Vertical Blinds Exact Size
Use this method if you know exactly the width and the drop you require.
We recommend watching our how to measure video guide first.
Measure the width
Decide how much overlap you want your vertical blind to have on each side of your window
recess.
Measure this width.

Important Checks
Left and Right Overlap
We recommend your vertical blind
overlaps your window recess by at least 5cm on each side (10cm overall).
For Greater Light Elimination
The more your vertical blind overlaps
your window recess, the more light you eliminate.
Measure the drop
Measure the height from where you want the top of the headrail to start, and the bottom
bar to finish. This is your drop measurement.
Important Checks
Top Overlap
We recommend your vertical blind
overlaps the top of your window recess by at least 7cm.
Bottom Overlap
The desired overlap at the bottom of your window recess is personal choice. Check
for obstructions such as radiators. If your window sill protudes more than 5cm, you
should stop your blind at this point.

Now enter your width and drop measurements, then select Exact as your sizing
