How to Measure for PerfectFit Blinds

Step 1

1.1 Before you begin, ensure there is a 25mm clearance from the glass to any obstruction e.g. handle.

1.2 Check the seals (gaskets) of your window frame do not protrude over the glass more than 6mm. If the seals are compressible you can take a bead to bead measurement, if they are not compressible (solid) you should take a seal to seal measurement.
If your seals are none of the above then our Perfect Fit may not be suitable for you.

Step 2

Measure the width and the drop of the visible window glass accurately with a measuring tape. We recommend that you measure in both corners and the middle of your window and use the smallest size taken.
Please don’t try to complicate things by taking into account gaskets or over-engineer anything; we just need the width and drop of the visible glass area. We’ll handle the rest!

Step 3

Now we need to know the depth of the window.
Measure from the face of the window frame to the glass (this is normally 20mm/24mm) and will determine the size of the window fixing brackets you will use. A handy tip is to lay a thin solid object such as a metal ruler (or similar) across the frame and then using a tape measure take the distance from the glass to the underside of the ruler.

Now the fun starts!
