When ordering your
Made to Measure shades online, simply follow the below steps to ensure accuracy.
- Only use a metal measuring tape and record your measurements in cm.
- Measurements must be accurate for a perfect fit. We will make the necessary allowances to ensure the shades fits the window/door*
- Decide on how you want the shades fitted – ‘Recess’ is within the window/door frame or ‘Exact’ is to your desired point on the wall outside of the window/door frame. If you are opting for a blackout shade and you would like it to sit as close to the wall as possible, we advise that you order an ‘Exact’ fit blind instead of a ‘Recess’ blind.
- Always measure the width first (across the window) and then the drop (top to bottom) in 3 places.
- Record your measurements in the same order.
- Look for any obstructions such as handles and ensure you leave enough room in front and there is enough space for the blind to fit into the recess.
- Finally, re-check your width and drop measurements to ensure accuracy.
*Please Note: Your width measurement is the total product width including the mechanism.
- Recess roman shades: 1-1.2cm will be removed from the overall width and drop so the shade fits comfortably. Please note, the gap between the edge of the fabric and the edge of the cassette is roughly 3mm on each side.
- Recess roller shades: 1-1.2cm will be removed off the width only. If you have selected a cassette, the width of the blind will be the width of the cassette and not the width of the fabric.
- Cassette roller shades: the gap between the edge of the fabric is roughly 2.5cm on the control side, and 2cm on the non-control side.
- If you want your shades to be a certain length, then please choose an exact measurement blind.
