Blind Measuring Guide

Inside window recess

How to Measure (Inside the recess):

1. Measure the width in 3 different positions inside the window recess from wall to wall. Measure on the left, the middle and the right. The most important measurement to write down is the smallest one.
2. Measure the Drop (height) in 3 different positions inside the recess from the top of the recess to the window sill. Once again the most important measurement to write down is the largest one.
3. Now key these values in the measurements section when ordering blinds from Cheapest Blinds & Interiors and select the inside window recess fitting position option. This means we make a deduction to the width measurement of your blind to ensure they fit perfectly.
