Measuring inside a recess
- First ensure that the recess your blind is going into is not obstructed in any way so the blind can hang freely when fully extended.
- Make sure the recess is at least 75mm (3 inches) deep, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate the operating mechanism.
- Measure the total width from A to B and the length from C to D (See diagram). Do this in several places to allow for any slight variation or irregularity in your windows.
- Make a note of the narrowest of these measurements, to the nearest millimetre using a metal tape measure.
