      Recess Fitting of Blinds or Outside Fitting of Blinds

      RECESS FITTING BLINDS

      Measure the recess in 3 places in the width and the drop. Use the smallest measurement for the width and the drop.

      We will make a deduction so the blind fits to that size

       

      Outside of Recess or Exact Blind Size

      Usually allow your blind to overlap between 5-10cm. Or to the width of the overhang of the window sill so everything lines up.

      We will make your blinds to the exact size required.

      How to Measure The Track / Pole Width

      Measure the full length of the track and add on any overlaps.

      Poles, Measure the width of the pole excluding the the finials. Curtains will not cover finials so they don;t need to be this wide.

      Curtains2bedding make allowance for fullness and pleating. We use the track width entered to calculate this.

      Pencil Pleat / Pinch Pleat

      For a pencil pleat or pinch pleat heading, measure from the top of the track or the small eye on the ring of the pole to just 1.5cm above the floor, or approximately 15-20cm below the window sill - you can use your best judgement for where you'd like your curtain drop to end. This is your finished hem to hem drop.

      Both headings can be adjusted when fitting using the multi pocket tape and hooks for Pencil and the pin on hook for Pinch pleat.

       

      80mm Wave Heading

      Measure from the underside of the track to 1.5cm above the floor. Or 15-20cm below the window sill. This will be your finished hem to hem drop

      44mm Eyelet Heading

      Measure from the top of the pole to 1.5cm above the floor, or approximately 15cm to 20cm below the window sill depending on where you'd like the curtains to hang to.

      This is your finished top of pole to hem drop. Curtains2bedding add Approximately 3cm to the curtain called the upstand above the top of the eyelet. This does not affect the hanging length of your curtains, but creates a finished look - you don't need to account for this additional 3cm in your measurements if ordering from Curtains2bedding.com
