We will make all the necessary deductions when we place the order. If you are unsure about any of the instructions below, please feel free to contact our office to ask for assistance.
We created a PDF Template which can be used to write down your measurements. The template will also guide you from start to finish for each window/sliding door.

Measure how much space the handle/obstruction take up. Subtract above measurement from the available reveal/opening depth.
The blind will fit inside the opening since this space is greater than the 60mm space needed if you are measuring for venetian-, vertical- or roller blinds.

Take tight wall-to-wall measurements of the top-, middle- and bottom widths of the opening

If there are tiles in the opening. Measure the thickness and height of each respective side.
Always measure large windows as if the blind will have to be split into two or more blinds. In other words, take the full width of the opening and then the width of one side of the window frame to determine the width of the first blind. Subtract the width of the blind from the total width to determine the measurements of the second blind. See How to Measure a Sliding Door.
Use the same measurements as above but add the following to the measurements to ensure the blind is big enough to overlap all the sides of the window:
