Made-to-measure blinds provide a perfect fit for your windows, offering better light control, privacy, and a sleek, custom look.
Measuring your windows for custom blinds is an important step to ensure a perfect fit and a polished look for your space.
To start, you will need to measure the width and height of the window recess or frame at three different points – the top, middle, and bottom. This will help account for any inconsistencies in the window’s shape or size.
When measuring the width, use a metal tape measure and record the measurements in inches. Take the smallest measurement of the three as this will ensure that the blinds will fit snugly within the window frame without any gaps.
For the height, follow the same process of measuring at three different points and recording the smallest measurement. Make sure to measure from the top of the recess to the bottom for accurate sizing.
By taking these precise measurements, you can guarantee that your custom blinds will fit perfectly and provide the functionality and aesthetic appeal you desire for your windows.
