How to measure Bi-Fold Doors

The first crucial step before measuring your windows is deciding whether you want your blinds to sit on the inside of the window frame as a recess fit, or on the outside of the frame as a face fit, as this will determine where you take your measurements from.

If you’re unsure, a face fit is your best option if there are obstructions such as window/door handles which may prevent your blind from closing smoothly in the recess.

The number of panels will determine the combination of blinds. Do not split the blinds over the middle of a glass panel, always divide over the timber or aluminium mullion.

Make sure the chains have a position to secure the child safety device.

Make sure measurements A & B add up to the overall width of the Bi-Fold doors.
