2 Measure
Want a perfect fit blind?
Before you start to measure for a window blind...
You should use a steel tape measure as they are much more reliable than cloth / plastic tapes.
Look for any obstructions that could get in the way of the blind - i.e. window handles, telephone boxes, cables etc
Decide if you want the blind to fit inside or outside of the window recess - What is a recess?
Measure the width and drop and supply us these measurements in mm. If you are using inches then you can use the converter on the order page.
Bear in mind that very few windows are absolutely level. It is common for the measurements to vary from top to bottom buy a small amount, but this small amount can make a big difference to how the blind fits.

How Wooden Venetian Blinds are supplied
Your blinds will normally be delivered by a courier to your chosen delivery address.
Each blind should come well packaged in its own box. On the outside of the box you will see a docket from the warehouse with the details of your blind.
Once open, you will normally find:
- a box of brackets
- an extra support (use on blinds over 120cm wide) valance clips
- plastic end caps should you wish to use them.
Then there will be the actual blind, a matching valance. If you order quality blinds then you will be supplied at least 2 spare slats in case you damage one or experience some slight warping.
You will find fitting instructions but you may also watch our fitting videos if you prefer to watch.
