Roman blinds.
Measuring for your stunning new blind with Online Blinds Express is a
straightforward process. Just follow our step-by-step guide, ensuring to
double-check your measurements as you progress, and be on the lookout for
helpful tips to streamline the process. Here is a convenient guide
specifically for measuring Roman blinds.
Recess fitting
If you want your blind to fit inside the window recess.
This is the measurement you should take if you desire your blind to be
accommodated inside the window recess.
Measure the complete width and height of the recess, leaving deductions to our
experts. This ensures you receive a blind tailored to fit seamlessly inside
the recess.
- Measure in 3 places for both the width and the drop, use the smallest measurements you’ve taken
- Refrain from making any deductions; we will handle that for you.
- Opt for a metal tape measure; cloth ones may stretch and provide inaccurate measurements.
Depth needed for Roman blinds = 45mm
Useful Tip: Double-check the depth of your recess (refer to the recess checking tips on the opposite side) – ensure it is deep enough to accommodate the blind. Also, check for any obstructions such as handles or ventilation.
Exact fitting
If you want your blind to fit outside the window recess.
-
Measure the recess as demonstrated on the opposite side before adding extra height and width to each side.
We will craft your blind precisely to that specified size without any deductions. -
If you aim to minimize light infiltration, we recommend adding a minimum of 50mm on each side and 70mm to the top.
-
Exercise caution at the bottom of the blind to avoid contact with protruding objects like sills or radiators.
Useful Tip: Are you replacing an existing blind, similar to the one you currently have? Measure the blind, including the fittings (refer to blind measuring tips on the opposite side), and choose the Exact fitting option. We will craft a new blind for you in the same size.
Non-standard windows
Fitting inside a part-tiled recess (also for picture rails, skirting
boards).
Measure between the tiles to ensure the blind will fit
Is there tiling along the sides of your window recess? These tiles may likely reduce the available width compared to a standard recess. Measure the width between the tiles to determine your overall width. Employ this method if there is a skirting board, picture rail, or any other obstruction inside the recess.

Measuring Guide for
Roman blinds
in an Angled Bay window
Measuring for your exquisite new blind with Online Blinds Express is a straightforward process. Just follow our step-by-step guide, ensuring to double-check your measurements as you progress, and be on the lookout for helpful tips to streamline the process. Below is a convenient guide specifically for measuring Roman blinds in an Angled Bay window.
Step 1
Before commencing with the measurements, determine the placement of the
blinds – allocate 50mm for our Roman blinds head rail. Be mindful of potential
obstacles such as window handles or air vents. If present, add these
dimensions to the depth of your brackets to establish reference measurement
point X.
In addition to your measuring tape, gather two pieces of paper or card (A4 or
A5 size is suitable), a pencil, and a ruler.
Step 2
Position your two paper pieces side by side, as demonstrated, and mark the
X measurement that was taken before on both sheets.
Step 3
Position the paper against the window frame on the sill. Slide the paper along
the sill until the two marks meet.
Step 4
Lightly use your pencil to mark the window sill where the paper edge meets the
frame. Repeat this process for other angles in the frame.
Step 5
Measure the distance between the marks to determine the width of the blind.
Measure from one mark to the next, as detailed in the diagram. This will
determine the width of the blind that you will need to order.
Useful Tip: : Leave the pencil marks untouched – these will be a useful guide for fitting your new blind.
Step 6
To measure your drop, take a measurement from the top of the blind to where
you want it to rest, typically the window sill. Keep in mind that the head
rail will be included in the drop measurement.
Once you have noted your measurements, enter the sizes into www.onlineblindsexpress.co.uk and choose the Exact fitting option. We will make your new blind to your sizes without deductions and send them out to you ready to fit.

as you progress, and be on the lookout for helpful tips to save time. Below is

installing the blinds to know where the top is for measuring down from.
