2 - Your Fitting
If you've got a large recess, then vertical blinds look great. Whether it's a tall, wide or large window or door these deliver.
3 - Recess Fit
With your measuring tape, check the depth between the window pane and front edge of your window frame. You'll need at least 135mm of depth within the frame to fit the track and ensure the slats fit neatly in the recess.
If your window recess depth is less than your selected venetian depth, then face mounting is the best option.
4 - Measure the width
Using your measuring tape, measure the inside width of your window frame across the top. Note down your width measurement.
Ensure to provide the exact recess width with no deductions, we’ll ensure the blind will fit perfectly.
5 - Measure the height
Measure the height of your recess by taking the exact measurement from the top of the recess to the bottom. Note down your height measurement.
6 - 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.
