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

Before you get going
Measure your width
Measure the exact outside width straight across the window frame in three different positions: across the top, middle and bottom. This will help cater for any anomalies.
Once finished, record the largest measurement.
Measure your drop
Take measurements on the left, in the centre, and on the right, then use the largest of the three as your drop. This could be at the bottom of the frame, just above the floor, or aligned with other blinds in the same room.
Choose your chain side
A
Standard Bottom Up:
Make a note of which side you'd like your chain to be on. Think about which side is easiest to reach, obstruction free and where the chain will be least visible.
Top Down Bottom Up:
Please note that the Top-Down/Bottom-Up control type includes controls on both sides and cannot be changed to operate from just one side.
B
Standard Bottom Up:
On a standard bottom up blind, the cord is used to raise and lower the blind.
C
Top Down Bottom Up:
Please note that the Top-Down/Bottom-Up control type features controls on both sides. The right-hand control raises the blind, while the left-hand control lowers it. This is the default configuration and cannot be changed.
