2 - Your Fitting
Face fitting your roman blind ensure you perfectly frame the window with the blind for a seamless look.
3 - Measure the width
Using your measuring tape, measure the outside edge width of your window frame across the top. Note down your width measurement.
4 - Measure the height
Measure the height, from the point at which you’d like your blind to sit above the window, down to the point at which you’d like your blind to finish. We recommend to measure at least 50mm above the window frame, then at least 50mm below the frame.
However, you can mount and finish the roman blind wherever suits your space, as long as the blind mounts and finishes at least 50mm from the outside of your frame. Note down your height measurement.
5 - Control side
Take note of which side you’d like the chain to be on. It's better that the chosen side is free of obstructions and easy for you to access.
