Inside or Outside fit?
1. For inside fit, the blind will be fitted just below the top sill, flushing with the frame of the window. All blinds are slightly smaller than the measurement provided (don't worry - we will make the allowance for you, unless you specify otherwise .
2. For outside fit, the blind will be fitted onto the window sill or on the wall, just above the window, slightly wider than the opening. All blinds will have no deductions or additions to the measurements provided.
3. Always record measurements in mm wide x mm high, measure the exact width and height in three different places (top, middle and bottom) even if they look alike, use the narrowest measurement.
4. Always pay attention if there are no obstructions, i.e. locks, handles and if any, make sure the the window frame is deep enough and has enough clearance to suit your blind.
