How do I measure for blinds or shutters inside the window reveal?
Start by measuring the width and drop of the window at multiple points (top, middle, and bottom for width, and right, middle, and left for drop). Take the smallest measurements for both width and drop to ensure a proper fit inside the reveal.
Should I measure at multiple points along the width and drop, or is one measurement sufficient?
It is recommended to measure at multiple points along the width and drop to account for any variations in size within the window.
What should I do if there are tiles or skirting installed along the sides of the reveal?
If there are tiles or skirting along the sides of the reveal, measure while considering their presence. Make sure to provide enough clearance for the blinds or shutters to fit properly.
What measurements should I take for the width and drop of the window?
For width, measure at the top, middle, and bottom of the window. For drop, measure on the right, middle, and left sides of the window.
How do I account for obstructions like burglar bars or window handles when measuring?
When measuring, take into consideration any obstructions within the reveal. Ensure there is enough space to accommodate these protrusions, and adjust the measurements accordingly.
How do I measure for face fix installation if I can't install the blinds inside the reveal?
For face fix installation, add a minimum of 50mm on each side of the reveal width. Additionally, add 100mm to the top measurement and 50mm to the bottom measurement to ensure proper coverage.
Are there any general guidelines or tips for accurate measuring?
Some general tips for accurate measuring include using a metal tape measure for precision, measuring twice to double-check your measurements, and ensuring that the tape measure is straight and aligned when taking measurements.
