3. Measuring for Inside Recess Blinds (Recess Fit)
- Width: Measure the width of the window recess in three places (top, middle, and bottom). Use the smallest measurement.
- Drop: Measure the drop of the window recess in three places (left, middle, and right). Use the smallest measurement.
Pro Tip: Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions like window handles, tiles, or decorative mouldings that might interfere with the operation of the blind.
Pro Tip: Consider the Depth: If your window recess is shallow (less than 60mm), you might want to consider fitting the blind outside the recess to avoid any obstructions.
Note on Fabric Size for Recess Blinds: When you order a recess blind, the fabric width will be approximately 30mm to 35mm narrower than the width you provide. This reduction accounts for the mechanisms, brackets, and ensures the blind operates smoothly within the window recess. Always keep this in mind when visualizing how the blind will look once installed.
