Measuring Your Window
Perfect Fit blinds require width, drop and window depth measurements.
Step1
Measure the Frame Depth
Place a credit card flat against the frame of your window or door, so it’s overlapping the glass. Measure the gap between your credit card and the glass. This is your frame depth.
Frame depths typically range from 1.8cm (18mm) to 3cm (30mm).
Step2
Measure the Width
Measure the visible glass width in three spots using a metal tape measure. Take the smallest measurement as your width.
Left and Right Overlap
We recommend your blind overlaps the window recess by at least 5cm on each side (10cm overall). You will eliminate more light the more the blind overlaps the recess.
Step3
Top Overlap
We recommend your blind overlaps the top of the window recess by at least 7cm.
